Tonight I’m taking a look at the Uyled X5 Plus and answering the big question: is it actually a good camping light, or is it just another chunky gadget? Right out of the gate, this thing is built like a tank—and it feels as heavy as one too. If you’re expecting an ultralight backpacking lantern, this isn’t that. But if you want a tough, utilitarian light that can live in a truck, camper, or emergency tote, it starts making a lot more sense. What I like is the versatility. You get three levels on the main area light, plus extra modes like red/blue strobe, a yellow light option, and even a built-in flashlight. It charges via USB-C, which is what I want to see in 2025, and it also includes a USB-A output so you can use the internal 6000 mAh battery as a power bank to top off a phone or another light. The big takeaway: it’s heavy, but it’s a solid area light and an even better emergency light—especially if you value durability and multi-function over compactness.
