The BougeRV CL04 Outdoor Portable Telescopic Camping Light Spreads 3,000 Lumens Over Up to 538 Square Feet From Three Fold-Out Panels
The BougeRV CL04 Outdoor Portable Telescopic Camping Light is a rechargeable lantern with three LED lamp leaves on a telescopic rod. It stands on fold-out tripod legs, extends up to 164 cm and lights an area of up to 538 ft² (50 m²).
It suits campers, RV travelers and anyone who wants a bright, packable light for a campsite, a backyard or a power outage. A 15,600mAh battery runs it for up to 60 hours, and it folds into a slim cylinder that weighs 2.1 lb. Buy the CL04 Lantern on its own, or choose CL04 + T1 Telescopic Light to add a second BougeRV light.
BougeRV CL04 Outdoor Portable Telescopic Camping Light Features
Light One, Two or Three Panels
Each lamp head is rated at 1,000 lumens, for 3,000 lumens in total. Press the switch button once for one lamp leaf, twice for two and three times for all three, so you only light what you need.
Two Color Temperatures and Three Brightness Levels
The mode button switches between a 3000K warm light and a 6000K white light. The brightness button cycles between low, medium and high in lighting or flashlight mode.
Built-In Flashlight and SOS Mode
A third press of the mode button turns on the flashlight in the top of the light. Hold the mode button for 2 seconds to start SOS mode, and press it once to turn SOS off.
Adjustable Lamp Leaves on a Telescopic Rod
Flip the lamp leaves up 180 degrees to open them, then turn them up to 305 degrees to change the light angle. Extend the rod up to 164 cm to spread the light over a wider area.
Compact, Packable Body
Folded, the CL04 measures 2.6 x 2.6 x 10 in (67 x 67 x 254 mm) and weighs 2.1 lb (975 g). A carry bag, a portable hook and three ground stakes help you pack it, hang it or secure it.
Long Runtime and Battery Display
The 15,600mAh battery runs the light for up to 60 hours and takes about 5 hours to fully charge. Four LEDs show the remaining charge, and the last LED blinks when less than 10% remains. BougeRV rates the input at 18W and the output at 22.5W.
Real-World Applications
Campsite and tent light. Raise the rod and open all three lamp leaves to light a campsite after dark.
Camp kitchen. Aim the leaves down over a cooking table and switch to white light for prep work.
Backyard evenings. Use warm light on a low setting for a softer glow on the patio.
Emergency kit. Keep it charged in the house or vehicle for outages, with the flashlight and SOS mode ready.
Practical Comparison
CL04 Telescopic Light Versus a Standard Camping Lantern
A standard lantern sits on a table or hangs from a hook and lights the space around it. The CL04 can do the same, and it also raises its three adjustable lamp leaves on a telescopic rod to cover a wider area.
CL04 Lantern Versus the CL04 + T1 Telescopic Light Option
The CL04 Lantern on its own lights one area. The CL04 + T1 Telescopic Light option adds a BougeRV T1 Telescopic Light, so you can set up two light stations, such as one at the table and one by the tents.
Buyer Guidance
Water and Weather
The CL04 is rated IP54. The charging port sits under a plug that you open to charge, and the port should stay dry while charging.
Care and Handling
Charge the light before use, and recharge it soon when the battery is low, because long use on a low battery can damage the cells. Retract the telescopic rod slowly so the mechanism doesn't jam, don't force the lamp leaves past their limit, and don't touch the lamp head during use to avoid burns.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You want a light that stands on its own tripod
- You want both warm and white light in one unit
- You want a flashlight and SOS mode built in
- You need a light that folds small for travel
