Helix Backcountry has a �_oswipe�__ control surface that is free of buttons and gives access to a dimmable white mode, plus a dimmable red mode for low profile use.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little multi-use lantern
*by R***W on December 6, 2018*

Awesome little lantern. Puts out a surprising amount of nicely diffused light for its size, not too heavy for an overnight or multi-day casual backpacking trip, and has a bunch of cool features that really make it worth the extra weight over the ultralight alternatives unless you're the kind of person who cuts the handles off your toothbrushes to save a few grams...I wouldn't take this on an AT through-hike, purist alpine style ascent, or anything else where carry weight is of primary concern, but for the types of trips that most of us do most of the time, this is a perfect fit. Also a great backup to have around the house for power outages.Solidly constructed, well thought out with regards to the adjustable legs and multiple hanging options, and the glow-in-the-dark shade is more useful than you might think when bedding down for the night.Very highly recommended, and Princeton Tec (from my experience) is in the top tier of customer service in the outdoor products industry.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Safe Emergency Light
*by C***P on October 31, 2020*

I have never been comfortable with propane or kerosene lanterns during a power outage. Being in fire safety for 40 years i know that some house fires are caused by open flame lighting sources particularly candles. The Princeton Tec Helix Basecamp is a safe alternative for short term emergency lighting. These little lights do a great job. Love the dimming and red light features. I have since bought 2 of them. Only one comment. It would be good if there would be a low battery feature. Just an idea for Princeton Tec to consider. I have another brand of headlamp and they have incorporated it into their product. Until then you just have to sense that the light is not as bright as it once was. Good investment for emergency purposes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My New Favorite Lantern (and it glows)!
*by D***N on May 14, 2019*

What is not to love about this light. Durable quality with both red and white led light (not at the same time) and a locking switch to prevent it from turning on in your pack or storage. Battery compartment closes solidly and the light collapses for easy packing. The feet are fabulous in that you can hang it from a line or position it in a number of different ways. My favorite feature is that it glows in the dark--you can charge it for a few seconds and have enough of a glow for basic functions in the dark and it is super easy to find too. I'm a real Princeton Tec fan and this one is no exception to what I've grow to love about their lights.
