Klarus CL3 Outdoor Lantern
Compact Outdoor Lantern Built for Real Use
The CL3 is built specifically for the backpacker, the campsite-cook, the picnic-table-after-dark crowd. 280 lumens of evenly diffused light is plenty to illuminate a tent, a table, or a tarp setup — and the compact body packs cleanly without dominating your bag.
Multiple Brightness Levels
- High for setup and serious tasks
- Medium for sustained ambient use
- Low for evening relaxation and sleep-friendly light
- SOS / signaling mode for emergencies
USB-C Rechargeable
USB-C charging from any standard cable. Built-in battery delivers full nights of runtime on lower modes.
Waterproof and Tough
Sealed against rain, dust, and conditions the backcountry actually delivers. The CL3 keeps working when other lanterns quit.
Hangable, Standable, Mountable
Carabiner clip for hanging from a tent loop or branch. Stable base for tabletop use. Compact enough to clip to a pack strap for trail use.
Who the CL3 Is For
The CL3 is built for serious backpackers, climbers, kayakers, and campers who need real outdoor lighting in a body that earns its place in the pack. Pair with the bigger CL2 Pro for car-camping or basecamp setups.
Backed by Klarus's manufacturer warranty and our simple 30-day return policy.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a genuine product with a valid warranty?
Is this a genuine product with a valid warranty?
Yes. We are an authorized dealer for Klarus and TrustFire, so every light we ship is genuine and carries the full manufacturer warranty, handled by us. Flashlights bought through unauthorized or grey-market sellers are usually not covered.
How fast do you ship, and what does it cost?
How fast do you ship, and what does it cost?
Orders placed on business days leave our Port Charlotte, Florida warehouse within 24 hours. Shipping is free on US orders over $49. We hold our own stock, so if the site shows it in stock, it is on a shelf here.
What is your return policy?
What is your return policy?
Returns are accepted within 30 days through a simple return process. See our refund policy for full details, or email us first if you are unsure whether a light is the right one and we will help you decide before you buy.
How many lumens do I actually need?
How many lumens do I actually need?
More than most people expect to hear: usually fewer than you think. 200 to 500 lumens covers everyday tasks, 500 to 1,500 covers work and duty use, and above that you are buying reach rather than usable working light. Runtime drops sharply at maximum output on every light ever made.
What is the difference between lumens and beam distance?
What is the difference between lumens and beam distance?
Lumens measure total light output. Candela measures beam intensity, and that is what determines how far a light throws. A tightly focused 1,000-lumen thrower will out-distance a 3,000-lumen floodlight, which is why reflector design matters as much as the headline number.
Which battery does it take, and do you sell spares?
Which battery does it take, and do you sell spares?
Most of our lights use a built-in or removable lithium-ion cell such as a 14500, 16340, 18650, 21700 or 26650. The size is listed in the product specifications. We stock protected cells in all of those sizes plus a multi-chemistry charger, so you can keep a charged spare ready.
Can you help me choose between two models?
Can you help me choose between two models?
Yes, and we would rather do that than have you return something. Email Customersupport@brightlightled.shop or call 941-273-3209, Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm EST, with the two models and how you plan to use the light.
