Better After Dark: 3 Camp Lighting Essentials for Your Nighttime Outdoor Adventures

When the sun goes down in the great outdoors, the last thing you need is unreliable and inefficient camp lighting that doesn’t hold up to the elements. Who wants to mess with all those tangled extension cords anyway?  

That’s why we’ve designed a variety of rugged camp lighting gear built specifically to keep you comfortable in all kinds of nighttime outdoor settings. Whether you’re tent camping, RVing, overlanding, or playing cards at the backyard picnic table late into the evening, these Kuma camp lighting essentials will equip you to enjoy the great outdoors under starry night skies. 

Northstar LED Flexlite

The Northstar LED Flexlite is one of our most versatile camp lights. Gone are the days where you needed to pack several (and sometimes bulky) lights on your camping trip. With three 360° adjustable LED light arms and three light modes, the Northstar LED Flexlite provides multiple lighting options and features all in one light. Equipped with an adjustable hook, tripod mount, and magnetic base, the Northstar LED Flexlite is ideal for:

  • Hanging from your portable camp shelter while cooking dinner 
  • Magnetically sticking to your vehicle or RV so you can easily see when setting up camp
  • Sitting on the camp table (like our Big Bear Table) during meals or family game nights outside

Built rugged for actual outdoor use, the water resistant Northstar LED Flexlight includes a rechargeable battery that provides up to 5.5 hours of camp lighting on one charge. And when you’re on the go, the Flexlight conveniently packs down into the size of a burrito for your next adventure.
