With the longer hours of darkness and a six hour sleep cycle I find passing time at night while camping is more tedious/boring and enjoy a good read. I currently use a led headlamp but it doesn't seem that comfortable or adequate after a few minutes. I'm interested in hearing from others on what type of reading light (bulb type, lumens, brand, model etc.) works best. I canoe camp as well as camp at drive up primitive sites so weight and bulk is not that critical.

Maybe try listening to a story on a CD or flash drive or ear buds and your smart phone. I'll bet you won't last ten minutes before you fall asleep.Never Argue With An Idiot. They Will Drag You Down To Their Level And Beat You With Experience.

I have this and I really like it. It's very bright for its size, but it also has a dimming feature. I hang it in the top of my tent/leanto to read with. It was $20 at Cabela's.

A little hard to pack in, uses a LOT of batteries, but by golly, you'll be able to read!
