Overglow Camp Light
Stop cooking by headlamp. Light camp from above.
Three light heads sit above head height and point down, like a ceiling light for your campsite. The table, the stove and the path to the tent lit, and no glare in anyone's eyes.
- The table and the ground lit, not the trees
- Heads sit up high and aim down, so nobody squints
- Up to 12 hours of light on one charge
- Twists off into a lantern or a flashlight
Take it on a real trip. 90-day refunds.
Why camp is still half dark
Your lantern lights the trees, not the table
We all know a light works best up high and pointed down. It's why your kitchen has a ceiling light. Most camp lights do the opposite.
One small circle of light
Fine for the walk to the bathroom. A pain when you're cooking for the family and everyone gets a beam in the face every time you turn to talk.
A face full of glare
It sits at eye level and throws light sideways, into everyone's eyes and out into the woods. Turn it up and the glare gets worse, so you turn it down and sit in the dim.
A classic, with a catch
Bright and full of memories. It also means fuel, mantles, a hot globe, and kids who want to touch it.
The fix isn't more lumens. It's where the light comes from.
A camp dinner by the trailer, everyone serving themselves under light from above. Sound on.
From the campsite
Dinner you can actually see
Real nights, real tables. Here's what changes when the light comes from above.
We used to eat with headlamps on and blind each other every time someone looked up. Now it stands over the picnic table pointed down and the whole table is lit. Nobody squints.Car camper, two kids
I can see the path from my camp chair to the tent while the kids go back and forth. I didn't know how much I wanted that until I had it.State park regular
I figured it would be another light that blinds the next site over. Heads down, warm setting, low, and it lights our site and nothing else.Camps most weekends
It comes home and works in the garage too. Stuck the head under the hood last week and had both hands for once.Weekend wrencher
What's different
Why this one works when others didn't
Every feature answers something campers complain about with the lights they already own.
Light from above, not eye level
The heads ride above head height and point down, so light lands on the table and the ground.
Fixes: "a face full of glare"Three heads, aimed one by one
Each turns 180 degrees up and down and 270 degrees around. One on the stove, one on the table, one on the path.
Fixes: lights that "light up surgical theaters"Warm for dinner, white for work
Warm, white or both together, each at three brightness levels. Go low and the stars still show.
Fixes: harsh white that looks "like a crime scene"Runs the whole evening
Up to 12 hours of continuous light. Four battery lights on the base show what's left before you pack.
Fixes: lanterns that fade after half an hourComes off the pole
Twist the head off and it's a lantern for the table or a flashlight in your hand. Hang it by the hook or stick it to steel.
Fixes: gear that does one jobCharges your phone
The USB port doubles as a power bank, so your phone isn't dead by the second night.
Fixes: one more thing to packHow it stacks up

How it works
Light your campsite like a room
No app, no manual. Two buttons: power and brightness. Here's the whole idea in three steps.
Legs out, pole up
Pop the tripod legs open and pull the pole up until the heads sit above everyone's head.
Stand it at the edge of camp
Set it beside the picnic table or the tent, where the light can fall over the spot you use most.
Aim the heads down
Swing each head where you want it: table, stove, path. The light lands on the work and stays out of eyes.
Same reason your kitchen has a ceiling light and not a lamp on the counter: light from above lights the whole room without shining in your face.
More than a camp light
It earns its spot in the truck
Take the light off the pole
Twist the head off, flip out the hook and hang it from a tent loop, an awning or the handlebars. The light goes where your hands are working.
From the campsite to under the hood
Back home it lights the garage, the driveway and the engine bay. No more holding a flashlight in your teeth or asking someone to.
Stick it, hang it or stand it
Magnetic base for anything steel. Hook for anything that isn't. Tripod for everything else.

Questions campers ask first
I already own a lantern (or a cheap tripod light). Why would this be different?
Because it changes where the light comes from. A lantern on the table shines sideways at eye level. This puts three heads above head height and points them down, so the table and the ground get the light and your eyes don't.
If it doesn't change your nights at camp, you have 90 days to send it back.
Will it light my campsite or just blind everyone?
Aim the heads down and the light falls on the table, the stove and the path, the same way a ceiling light works at home. You're looking at what's lit, not at the bulb.
Is the tripod sturdy?
Set it on the flattest ground you've got and open the legs all the way. On a windy night, run the pole a section lower. Aim the heads before you raise it to full height.
And if anything about it lets you down, you have 90 days to send it back.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 12 hours of continuous light. Lower brightness stretches it further. Four battery lights on the base show what's left, so check them and top it up over USB before you pack, even if it's been sitting in the garage since the last trip.
How bright is it, really?
We'd rather you judge it by what you see than by a number on a box. The videos on this page are real nights in real yards and campsites: a dark backyard, a camp dinner table, an engine bay.
Won't it light up the whole campground and bug my neighbors?
Point the heads down at your site, switch to the warm setting and turn it low after dinner. Light your site, not the campground. The stars still show.
What if it rains overnight?
It isn't sold as waterproof. When rain moves in, bring it under the awning or into the tent, the same as your phone.
Can't I get one cheaper at Costco or Home Depot?
You can get a light for less. Most are one head on a stick or a lantern that sits on the table. This is three heads you aim separately above head height, a lantern and a flashlight that come off, a magnet, a hook and a phone charger, for $99.99.
Seen lights like this elsewhere? Try this one on a real trip. If it isn't what you saw on this page, you have 90 days to send it back.
Are the controls complicated?
Two buttons on the base: one for power and modes, one for brightness. No app, nothing to pair.
How fast does it ship, and what if I want to return it?
Orders are processed in 1 to 2 days and arrive 5 to 10 days after that. You have 90 days to request a refund, so take it on a trip or two before you decide.
