Workshop and camping torches are among the most intriguing and distinctive types of lighting. It is primarily their design which differs from standard torches that makes them worthy of a separate category. A main feature that distinguishes camping lights is the angle of illumination which allows them to illuminate the entire area. As a focal point of illumination, they cast light all around.
Simple paraffin lamps were the first lamps of their kind to be mass produced. It is considered one of the oldest portable sources of lighting invented by a Pole - Ignacy Łukasiewicz. By using a small paraffin container with a wick submerged in it, it was possible to continuously illuminate the area around the lamp. The glass cover protected the wick from wind or rain, so it could be used regardless of adverse weather conditions. You can still buy a paraffin lamp today, but it would be less practical and even dangerous to use as a camping lamp due to the heat generated. Nevertheless, there are substitutes for lovers of the classic paraffin lamp, in which the paraffin reservoir can been replaced by a battery and the wick by an incandescent bulb or LED. This means that you can still enjoy the classic look of the lamp while maintaining convenience and safety. You may consider such models as travel lamps.
One of the most important features a hiking torch is ease of transport. To meet this need, light weight and compact size will need to be considered. Polymers are used in manufacturing most modern models - from the body to the LED cover. However, in more advanced models' glass is still used as a cover for its higher scratch resistance. Making the body from polymer allows the lamp to remain lightweight, making it easier to transport. Most models also have additional seals to provide a rainproof protection. Thus, you will be able to successfully use the lamp regardless of the weather conditions.
The most common power source for this type of equipment are standard stick batteries, so that you can always carry a spare set with you or can buy them anywhere. Built-in rechargeable batteries can be an alternative power option, which come with the possibility of recharging via power banks. Virtually every camping light also comes with a mounting hook, allowing it to be hooked up anywhere or carried more conveniently.
Another distinctive type of lighting are workshop lamps. Such models are designed for maximum resistance to all kinds of external factors such as dust, dirt, steel filings or drops. To guarantee the longevity of such lamps, durable aerospace aluminium is most often used in their production. Stable stands are most often used for stability which allow the angle of light to be adjusted and in the case of mobile lamps strong magnets are used. This type most often uses built-in rechargeable batteries, which can be charged using mains chargers or docking stations.
