Amber Light vs Insects

Anyone who has ever been camping knows that insects tend to congregate around lights, due to a phenomenon known as positive phototaxis.

However, not all light colours are equally attractive to these flying nuisances; entomologists have found that longer-wavelength (amber to red) light is generally much less attractive to insects than shorter-wavelength (UV to green) light.

Dawnchaser’s amber LED chips are specified at a colour temperature of 1500K – roughly the same as the colour you’d get from your campfire. It’s not only pleasant to look at but sits at the far edge of insects’ perceptual range of 300nm to 650nm, and well outside their preferred range of 300-480nm, meaning that they are very effective in reducing insect attraction.

Control in the palm of your hand

Where's the switch for these lights? It's wherever you are. Control the lights easily via our smartphone app, even when you're out of mobile internet range.

Greater than 180 degree beam spread

Our unique curved and ribbed lens design diffuses the light from the LED chips, creating an even beam that spreads more than 180 degrees.

Removable 40Wh lithium battery

We've designed our lights with a removable battery. If the battery runs out, you won't lose use of the light for hours while it recharges – just simply swap it out for a spare!

Multiple Control Methods

One of the frustrations with many app-enabled products is that you can only control them with the app. It can be very inconvenient if your phone goes missing or the battery goes flat.

That’s why we’ve designed our Dawnchaser camp lights with a physical button as well, to give you another way to control them even if you can’t use your phone. You can not only turn the lights on and off with the button, but also cycle through the different colours as well. On the RGB lights you can cycle through 8 preset colours, and on the white & amber lights you can cycle through all 3 colours at 100% and 50% brightness.

There’s no question that lighting up your campsite can be a challenge.

Do you choose camp light bars, with metres of cable to run (and trip over) and dimmer switches that can be difficult to find in the dark?

How about gas lanterns, that radiate heat and contain mantles that are notoriously fragile?

Or little battery-powered lanterns, that have to be turned off and taken back to a power source in order to charge the battery trapped inside?

As keen campers ourselves, we know the difficulties and frustrations with camp lighting, and that’s why we made our own – a revolutionary product that solves all of these challenges and many more.

Once you start using Dawnchaser camp lights, you’ll wonder how you ever made do before they arrived on the scene.

Here’s a few key features of our 25cm wireless white & amber camp lights that you’ll love:

  • Absolutely no cables – put the lights wherever suits you best
  • A strong XXX lumen light beam that spreads evenly through more than 180 degrees
  • An intiutive smartphone app for full control at your figertips, wherever you are on site
  • A physical button on the light to allow basic control even if your phone dies or goes missing
  • Three light modes: cool white and warm white for maximum brightness, and a scientifically-proven bug-reducing amber setting, which is particularly useful for areas such as your camp kitchen (note: full-colour RGB model also available)
  • A removable 40Wh battery which is good for 6 hours on full power per charge, and can simply be swapped out for a spare if it runs out
  • A huge 5 year warranty on the light body and 2 year warranty on the removable battery, so your investment is protected if anything goes wrong
