The LR60 Campbank Plus Camping Lantern & Power Bank is a 3-in-1 lantern, power bank, and rechargeable battery charger.
Nitecore says:
The Nitecore LR60 camping lantern offers a maximum output of 280 lumens from the 9 x high CRI LEDs with a colour temperature of 4000-5000K, providing warm, soft illumination. It is recommended to be powered by 2 x 21700 li-ion batteries but can also use just 1 cell in an emergency, 1-2 x 18650 li-ion cells or 4 x CR123 single use batteries.
The light features three brightness levels, ranging from 6 to 280 lumens, plus an SOS and beacon mode. For hands free use the LR60 can be stood upright, attached to a metal surface using the magnetic base or hung upside down from the hanger at the base of the light.
As a 3-in-1 device, the LR60 can also be used as a power bank and a battery charger for ultimate convenience on your outdoor adventures. Please ensure these functions are only attempted when using the 21700 or 18650 rechargeable batteries. The power bank has an 18W QC fast charge output and can charge an iPhone 12 twice or a Huawei P30 one and a half times.
To charge 18650 or 21700 batteries in the LR60, simply attach to a compatible power source such as a power bank, USB adapter or solar panel via the USB-C QC fast charge input. During the charging process a blue indicator will flash slowly at the top of the light and will stay illuminated once charging is complete.
The Nitecore LR60 features multiple charging safeguards including over-discharge protection, mechanical reverse polarity protection and thermal protection.
Our Verdict
LR60 Campbank Plus Camping Lantern & Power Bank is a 3-in-1 lantern, power bank and rechargeable battery charger. The lantern gives a soft, warm glow that is perfect for illuminating tents and for walking around the campsite. The maximum brightness setting of 280 lumens is impressive for such a compact, lightweight lantern. Unfortunately, this product does not include rechargeable batteries; these must be purchased separately. However, with the correct batteries ( 2 x 21700 Li-ion batteries, 2 x CR123 batteries or 4 x 18650 batteries) this lantern acts as an emergency powerbank to recharge a phone, head torch, watch etc. The lantern can be used whilst charging and whilst charging devices. This makes it incredibly useful as you are not sacrificing light to charge your phone.
