Every seasoned camper knows: reliable lighting can make or break your off-grid setup. A poor-quality camp light can leave you fumbling in the dark—or worse, drain your power source before the night’s even over. That’s why we tested the SELORSS Inflatable Outdoor Camping Light across a variety of trips, from misty forest camps to sandy beach setups.
The good
- Inflatable & compact
- USB-C fast charging (~2.5hr charge, 30hr runtime)
- Magnetic & strap mounting
- IP66 Waterproof & dustproof
- Multi-mode (Warm/cool & brightness levels)
The not-so-good
- No battery level indicator
- Brightness won’t replace floodlights
- No storage pouch for accessories
Designed to be compact, rechargeable, and tough enough for Aussie conditions, this light isn’t your average tent lamp. Its inflatable design makes it ultra-portable, while the built-in magnetic base and elastic strap let you hang or stick it just about anywhere. Here’s how it performed after multiple Aussie adventures.

First Impressions: More Practical Than Expected
Right out of the box, we were surprised by how compact the SELORSS light really is. Deflated, it’s flatter than a wallet and about as light. Inflated, the frosted TPU tube diffuses the light beautifully. No harsh LEDs in your face—just a nice, even glow. It feels premium in the hand despite the price point, and the elastic strap and magnet immediately stood out as smart additions.
Setup couldn’t be easier. Blow it up in a few puffs, press the button to cycle through brightness and colour modes, and hang or stick it wherever you need. We’ve clipped it inside rooftop tents, stuck it to the side of the Prado, and even used it as a table light for meals.
What surprised us most? Just how useful it became in everyday camp life. Whether you’re brushing your teeth after dark or grabbing something from the car late at night, this light is always where you need it—and never in the way.


Setup & Use of This rechargeable camping light
There’s no assembly required, and the learning curve is nil. Just inflate it, tap the button, and you’re good to go. Long-pressing the power button switches colour temperatures, while short presses cycle brightness levels. We appreciated being able to choose between cool white (for visibility) and warm light (for softer ambience).
The integrated magnet is surprisingly strong—we stuck it to the Prado’s roof, the inside of a tailgate, and even a cook stand with no issues. The elastic strap also makes it easy to hang from a tree branch or pole.
In wet conditions, the IP66 waterproofing stood up well. We had one rainy night at Capertee where it stayed running for hours through light showers with zero moisture damage or performance issues. Even after morning dew soaked it, the TPU material dried quickly without affecting usability.
Bonus tip: You can run it off a USB power bank while charging. We had it plugged into the Kings 24Ah Power Pack during an all-night hang inside the tent—no drama.


Materials & Build Quality
The SELORSS light combines frosted TPU and internal LED tech in a smart inflatable form. The outer material feels thick and flexible without being flimsy, and it didn’t show any wear after being shoved into Storage bins or used in muddy setups. The magnetic base is sturdy and doesn’t scratch painted surfaces. The elastic strap has strong stitching and a good amount of tension—no sagging after multiple uses.
We especially liked the attention to waterproofing. The charging port is well-sealed, and the TPU material resisted dew and drizzle without letting in moisture. After a dusty trip, we simply rinsed it off under clean water—no signs of wear or damage. There’s no fancy case, but it comes with a lightweight TPU storage bag that works fine for keeping it clean between uses.


Field Test: Lighting Performance in the Wild
Over the course of multiple weekend trips, the SELORSS light earned its stripes. We used it in Camp Kitchens, as a general tent light, and even during a roadside tyre change after dusk. The brightest mode was strong enough for basic tasks, while the lower settings gave off a pleasant, campfire-like ambience.
What stood out most? The even light spread. The frosted TPU acts like a built-in diffuser, so you’re not getting harsh light in a single direction. It works well as a central tent light, and if hung sideways, it mimics a bar light under your awning or inside a rooftop tent.
During one wet and foggy trip in the Watagans, the light never once failed or flickered. The battery lasted more than 12 hours on the medium setting, and the switch remained responsive even when the unit was damp.
Overall, it passed our test with flying colours. For its size and price, this is one of the most practical camp lights we’ve used.



Conclusion: Selorss Inflatable Outdoor Camping Light
For campers who value compact, clever gear, the SELORSS inflatable camping light is a solid win. It’s ideal for hanging lighting needs, subtle mood light in tents, or an emergency backup for your glove box. If you’re trying to reduce bulk while keeping camp safe and functional at night, this is a great addition.
With its inflatable tube design, IP66 waterproof rating, and frosted TPU finish, this isn’t just a novelty light. It’s a well-designed tool for campers who want smart, space-saving lighting that runs on a built-in 2000mAh battery.
Gear That Complements Your Camp Lighting Setup
Pair this light with the Adventure Kings LED Strip Light for larger lighting areas, and keep it charged with a Kings 24Ah Power Pack or use a San Hima 160W Solar Blanket.
For hygiene at night, consider a Sea to Summit Pocket Shower or a compact toilet setup for full camp comfort.
