A cool, techy alternative to an old-fashioned candle, the solar-powered LED Luci Candle glows and flickers like a real candle for up to 18 hours on a full charge. As light as a titanium cook pot with a blow-up design that makes it flat and highly packable when deflated, it’s a great choice for multi-day backcountry forays.

Break it out for camp task lighting and ambiance. It’s also waterproof and floatable for night swimming or hot springs and won’t be bothered by hanging off a pack or paniers after a long slog in the rain. MSRP: $19.95. Bioliteenergy.com
