Our Verdict: Black Diamond Moji R+ Rechargeable Lantern
A tiny, dimmable puck light that is perfect above your head in a tent, if you can accept splash only weather resistance.
A palm sized 200 lumen lantern with smooth continuous dimming and magnets that stick anywhere, which is why it is the tent pick.
So, is it any good?
Continuous dimming from a simple button, so you set exactly the brightness you want.
Double hook hang loop and four magnets attach it to a tent pole, boot lace, or metal surface.
It clips above my head and dims to exactly what I want for reading, but it is only splash resistant so I keep it inside the tent and the micro USB cable feels dated.
