The Short Version

Black Diamond Moji+ is the compact rechargeable camp lantern. We tested the magnetic base utility and measured actual runtime at low and high settings.

Who This Is For

Buy this if: Backpackers and car campers who want a portable camp lantern that's also a phone-charge backup.

Skip this if: Large group campers who need 300+ lumen high-output lanterns for wide area coverage.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Magnetic base attaches to tent poles, car roofs, and steel surfaces
  • USB-C recharges from any power bank
  • 70 hours on low — lasts a full week of evening camp use per charge

Cons

  • 100 lumens maximum — adequate for a tent but not bright enough for wide camp area lighting
  • Cannot replace a headlamp for trail use

The Detailed Breakdown

Magnetic Base Application

Tent pole attachment: the magnetic base sticks to any steel tent stake or attached to a tent loop with the included carabiner. Hanging position puts the lantern at eye level, illuminating the tent interior without blinding anyone lying down. For car camping: attach to the trunk frame for hands-free rear loading.

Grant's Final Take

The right camp lantern for backpackers. Lightweight, rechargeable, and the magnetic base is genuinely useful.
