Outdoor & Camping lights

Genuine Fenix flashlights, headlamps, and lanterns for the Canadian outdoors — weatherproof, cold-tolerant, and built to run all night on the trail, at camp, or on the water. Shipped from Mississauga with full Canadian warranty service.

Match the light to the trip

Most outdoor kits carry two lights. A headlamp keeps both hands free for pitching a tent, cooking, or scrambling over rock, while a handheld flashlight throws a tighter beam down the trail or across a lake to pick out a marker or a campsite. For car camping and base-camp use, a lantern lights the whole tent or picnic table without blinding anyone. If you want one small light that lives in a pocket year-round, start with an everyday-carry light.

Built for Canadian conditions

Look for an IP68 or IP66 rating so rain, snow, and a dropped light in the creek are not a problem, and favour models that run on rechargeable lithium-ion cells, which hold up far better than alkalines in the cold. Runtime on a usable medium setting matters more than the headline maximum lumens — that is the number you actually live with on a long night. Our battery guide covers cold-weather storage and how to keep cells healthy through a Canadian winter.

From the campsite to the backcountry

Weekend campers and cottage trips are well served by a mid-output headlamp and a rechargeable lantern. Backcountry hikers, paddlers, and anglers who are out past dark want more throw and longer runtime, and often a model that also takes CR123A primaries as a backup when there is no power for days. For low-impact night use around game or fish, see our hunting & fishing lights with red and filtered output.

Frequently asked questions

Should I bring a headlamp or a flashlight for camping?

Both, if you can. A headlamp keeps your hands free for cooking, setting up, and walking the trail, while a flashlight gives you more reach to spot a campsite, a trail marker, or wildlife at a distance. Many campers carry a headlamp for general use and a small flashlight or lantern for camp.

How many lumens do I need for hiking and camping?

For walking a trail at night, 100 to 300 lumens on a medium setting is plenty and gives you long runtime. Around camp, 50 to 150 lumens is comfortable. Keep a higher 500-plus-lumen mode in reserve for spotting at a distance or in an emergency — you rarely run a light at maximum for long.

Do Fenix lights work in cold Canadian winters?

Yes. Fenix lights run on lithium-ion cells that perform far better than alkaline batteries in the cold, and the bodies are rated for sub-zero use. In deep cold, keep a spare battery in an inside pocket so body heat keeps it warm until you need it. Our battery guide has the full cold-weather routine.

Are these lights waterproof enough for canoeing and kayaking?

Most Fenix outdoor lights carry an IP68 rating, meaning they are dust-tight and survive submersion — fine for paddling, fishing, and rain. Check the rating on the individual product page; a few accessories and lanterns are splash-resistant (IP66) rather than fully submersible.

What if I am in the backcountry for days with no power?

Choose a model that runs on a removable rechargeable cell and also accepts CR123A or AA primaries as a backup, and carry spares. A USB power bank tops up most modern Fenix lights in the field. For multi-day trips, runtime on medium and the ability to swap cells matter more than peak brightness.
