Protecting the Night Sky Starts with Smarter Outdoor Camp Lanterns

Celebrate International Dark Sky Week with Devos

At Devos Outdoor, we believe the best moments often happen after dark—but they shouldn’t come at the cost of our night skies. International Dark Sky Week (April 21–28) is a global effort to raise awareness about light pollution and inspire action to protect one of the most powerful (and overlooked) parts of nature: darkness.

Whether you’re setting up camp, grilling late in the backyard, or playing games late into the night, how you light your space matters. The wrong lighting can wash out the stars, disrupt wildlife, and make it harder to enjoy the outdoors as it was meant to be.

That’s why we designed the LightRanger to be more than just the best camp lantern—it’s a tool for smarter, more sustainable lighting. Every model is packed with dark sky-friendly features that help you light only what you need, when you need it.4 Ways to Reduce Light Pollution on Your Next Adventure

⭐️ Use only what you need

With directional lighting control, LightRanger lets you activate just one or two sides—down to 90°—instead of flooding an entire area. Add a Red or Amber filter for softer, less disruptive light ideal for minimizing insect attraction and creating an ideal campfire vibe.

⭐️ Let light come to you

Use the optional motion sensor to trigger your LightRanger only when movement is detected—perfect for late-night trips to the tent or warding off curious wildlife. It’s hands-free, energy-efficient, and only on when needed.

⭐️ Dim it down

Each LightRanger includes a built-in dimmer so you can get just enough light without overpowering your surroundings. You’ll see what you need to—and still enjoy the stars.

⭐️ Be a considerate camper

An elevated light source with the LED’s angled down means less glare for your neighbors, less light trespass, and a better night’s sleep all around. Good lighting is part of good trail etiquette.

⭐️ Choose a dark sky-friendly lantern

From the compact LightRanger 800 Mini to the ultra-bright LightRanger 2000, every LightRanger features angled-down LEDs, dimming modes, and red or amber LED’s or color filters to help preserve your night vision and reduce light pollution. It’s the best camp lantern lineup for those who care about responsible adventure.

At Devos, we’re committed to protecting the beauty of the night sky and giving you the tools to enjoy your time outdoors—without leaving a trace of light behind.
