The BougeRV CL03 Wide-Area Outdoor Camping Telescoping Light Puts 3,200 Lumens on a 7.5 ft Pole to Light a Whole Campsite
The BougeRV CL03 Wide-Area Outdoor Camping Telescoping Light pairs a rechargeable LED head with a 7.5 ft telescopic tripod. BougeRV rates it at 3,200 lumens, with area light that covers up to 5,274 ft² and a spotlight with an 82 ft beam.
It is built for campsites, RV stays, outdoor events and emergencies where one small lantern is not enough. The head lifts off the tripod and works as a portable light with a handle. Buy the CL03 Light on its own, or choose a bundle with a BougeRV T1 or CL04 light.
BougeRV CL03 Wide-Area Outdoor Camping Telescoping Light Features
Light One to Four Sides
The LED area light can run on one, two, three or all four sides, so you can light just the table or the whole camp. Each press of the power button adds a side, starting at low brightness.
A Spotlight With an 82 ft Beam
A fifth press turns the area light off and the top spotlight on. BougeRV rates the beam at 82 ft for checking a trail, a trailer hitch or the edge of camp.
White, Warm and Red Light With Dimming
With the light on, double-press the power button to move from white to warm to red. Press and hold to dim or brighten the light.
A 7.5 ft Telescopic Tripod
The tripod raises the head up to 7.5 ft for wide coverage. The head mounts on the 1/4" screw at the top of the tripod, and the pole has locks along its length.
Detachable Head for Hand Carry
Lift the head off the tripod and use its handle to carry it or set it down as a lantern. The head also has a magnet and a 1/4" nut.
59.2Wh Battery With USB-C Power In and Out
The 8000mAh (7.4V / 59.2Wh) battery is rated for 7 to 90 hours of runtime. The USB-C port charges the light at up to 30W and can supply up to 30W to another device. A full charge takes about 8.5 hours.
Real-World Applications
Group campsites. Raise the head on the tripod and turn on all four sides to light a large site.
RV and trailer setup. Use the spotlight to check hookups and the area around the rig after dark.
Outdoor events. Set warm light on a low setting for a patio or picnic area.
Power outages and emergencies. Carry the head by its handle as a lantern and recharge it over USB-C.
Practical Comparison
CL03 Telescoping Light Versus a Tabletop Lantern
A tabletop lantern lights the space close around it. The CL03 raises its head up to 7.5 ft and can light one to four sides at once, and its head still works as a hand-carried lantern.
CL03 Light Versus a CL03 Bundle
The CL03 Light covers a large area from one spot. The CL03 + T1 Telescopic Light and CL03 + CL04 Lantern options add a second BougeRV light, so you can light a second area such as a cooking table or tent.
Buyer Guidance
Weather and Use Limits
The CL03 is rated IPX4. Do not immerse it in water, and do not use it in temperatures above 104°F (40°C). Retract the telescopic rod slowly to avoid pinching your hands, and don't turn the light on close to your eyes.
Size and Weight
BougeRV lists the CL03 at 38.4 x 5.5 x 5 inches and 7.3 lb. A storage bag is included for packing it away.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You need to light a large campsite from one spot
- You want a spotlight and an area light in one unit
- You want a head that comes off as a carry lantern
- You want USB-C charging with power out to other devices
Common Questions
How Do I Turn the CL03 Off?
Press the power button until all lights go off (the sixth press), or, once a light has been on for more than 5 seconds, press the button once.
How Do I Check the Battery Level?
Four blue lights show the charge, from four lights at 70% to 100% down to one light at 5% to 30%. One blinking light means less than 5% remains. Unplug the charger once all four lights stay on.
How Long Does a Full Charge Take?
About 8.5 hours. The USB-C port accepts up to 30W.
