Princeton Tec Helix Lantern

The Helix Backcountry uses a touch-sensitive 'swipe' control surface. You simply slide your finger across the surface to dim or brighten the light, or to switch between the white and red LED modes.

Yes. The globe is removable, which allows you to convert the diffused lantern light into a more direct, focused spotlight for tasks that require a concentrated beam.

The lantern features articulated, folding legs. These allow you to adjust the height and angle of the light, making it stable enough to sit securely on uneven surfaces like rocks or forest floors.

Absolutely. The red LED mode is designed to preserve your night vision, making it ideal for middle-of-the-night trips to the bathroom or reading in your tent without ruining your ability to see in the dark.

The globe is collapsible, which allows the lantern to shrink to about half of its full height. Weighing only 5.5 ounces, it is specifically designed to take up minimal space in your backpack.

You have a few options. The lantern includes a top handle for standard hanging, and the folding legs also feature built-in hooks, giving you multiple ways to secure it to tent loops or tree branches.
