Key Findings

The ETENWOLF CL6 camping lantern was evaluated for illuminance performance across three lighting modes at 1 m distance in a controlled dark room environment; results are provided for reference only and confirm the product’s lighting capability across camping-relevant scenarios.

• Product: CL6 Portable Camping Lantern
• Report No.: 20260418-001
• Test Date: 2026-04-18
• Samples: 3 PCS (1#, 2#, 3#)
• Side White Light (1 m): 8.6 – 9.2 LUX
• Side Red Light (1 m): 2.1 – 3.1 LUX
• Flashlight White Light (1 m): 2280 – 2540 LUX
• Verdict: For Reference Only

Test Overview

Test Equipment & Setup

Test Procedure

1. Pre-test: Confirm the dark room environment is free of ambient light interference. Calibrate the illuminance meter (range 0–20,000 LUX) and allow the instrument to stabilize.
2. Sample preparation: Label the three CL6 units as 1#, 2#, and 3#. Charge or insert batteries to ensure full power before testing.
3. Setup: Position the illuminance meter probe horizontally at each designated test point, exactly 1 m from the lantern’s light source along the optical axis.
4. Side White Light measurement: Activate the side white light mode on each sample. Record the maximum illuminance reading (LUX) for 1#, 2#, and 3# individually.
5. Side Red Light measurement: Switch each sample to side red light mode. Record the maximum illuminance reading (LUX) for 1#, 2#, and 3# individually.
6. Flashlight White Light measurement: Activate the flashlight (torch) white light mode on each sample. Record the maximum illuminance reading (LUX) for 1#, 2#, and 3# individually.
7. Post-test: Compare all recorded values against nominal specifications and camping-scene usage requirements. Document all results and observations in the test record.

Acceptance Criteria: Results must satisfy the usage requirements of different camping scenarios as defined by the internal standard. This test batch is designated For Reference Only.

Test Data & Results

Observations: The flashlight white light mode produces substantially higher illuminance (2280–2540 LUX) compared to the side white light (8.6–9.2 LUX) and side red light (2.1–3.1 LUX) modes, consistent with the directional beam design of the flashlight function versus the diffuse ambient lighting of the lantern sides. Variation across the three samples is within a normal manufacturing tolerance range for all three modes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What illuminance does the ETENWOLF CL6 camping lantern produce at 1 meter?

At 1 m distance, the CL6 produces 8.6–9.2 LUX in side white light mode, 2.1–3.1 LUX in side red light mode, and 2280–2540 LUX in flashlight white light mode, based on testing of three production samples in a controlled dark room at 23 °C and 60% relative humidity.

What is the difference between the CL6’s side light and flashlight modes?

The side white light and side red light modes are designed for diffuse ambient illumination, suitable for lighting a tent interior or campsite perimeter. The flashlight white light mode uses a focused directional beam and delivers significantly higher illuminance — roughly 275 to 295 times more than the side white light — making it suitable for trail navigation or signaling.

Why does the CL6 test report say “For Reference Only” instead of Pass or Fail?

The illuminance performance test was conducted against an internal standard to characterize the product’s real-world lighting output and verify it aligns with nominal specifications. Because no fixed minimum or maximum illuminance threshold was applied as a pass/fail criterion for this batch, the result is designated For Reference Only rather than a formal compliance verdict.

What test equipment and conditions were used for the CL6 illuminance test?

Testing used a calibrated illuminance meter with a 0–20,000 LUX range. The probe was positioned horizontally at 1 m from the light source along the optical axis in a dark room. Ambient conditions were 23 °C and 60% relative humidity. Three samples were tested across all three lighting modes.
