Flick a switch and you have light — and mosquito repellent.
That’s the premise of the Trailblazer Camp Lantern from Thermacell Repellents. It’s a brighter, longer running version of similar lanterns the company sells.
With a rubberized base, 50 hours of light at its highest, 300-lumen setting, and the ability to keep biting mosquitoes, black flies and no-see-ums at bay.
Thermacell’s mosquito protection creates a 15’ x 15’ zone of protection from biting pests using butane cartridge refills and repellent “mats” that emit a synthetic copy of the natural repellent found in chrysanthemums. Butane cartridges last for 12 hours, mats for four hours, and the repellent can be used with or without the light running.
The lantern has a battery life indicator, three light settings and SOS for emergency situations. The lantern globe can be detached to increase the intensity of the light. It is available now for $50.
