NEWS – The Helix Backcountry lanterns from Princeton Tec have a unique design that allows them to fold down to a much smaller size when they are not in use. There are 4 different models of the Helix lanterns available including one that is USB rechargeable and can be controlled via Bluetooth. The lanterns have a maximum lumen of 150 – 250 depending on the model and all of them feature folding legs that have built-in hooks that let you hang them when you need overhead lighting.

I actually have the Red one and love it… It really is a great light for camping. Used is last week on a two day solo (well with my dog) camping trip in Colorado. Wish you had actually written a review.
David, thanks for letting us know that it’s a keeper. I don’t have a sample of this lantern. I just saw it while surfing for news and thought it looked cool.
