SELORSS Inflatable Camping Light Review

What’s in the box

A light, waterproof inflatable LED camping light with warm and cool colour modes, USB-C charging and several ways to mount it. It suits tents, cars and minimalist setups.

Quick Specs

First look: More Practical Than Expected

Right out of the box, we were surprised by how compact the SELORSS light is. Deflated and folded, it’s flatter than a wallet and weighs 189 g on our scale. Inflated, the frosted TPU tube spreads the light nicely. There are no harsh LEDs in your face, just an even glow. It feels well made for the price, and the elastic strap and magnet are smart additions.

Setup couldn’t be easier. Blow it up in a few puffs, press the button to go through the brightness and colour modes, and hang or stick it wherever you need it. We’ve clipped it inside rooftop tents, stuck it to the side of the Prado and used it as a table light for meals.

What surprised us most was how useful it became in everyday camp life. 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 nothing to assemble and nothing to learn. Inflate it, tap the button, and you’re set. A long press on the power button switches the colour temperature, and short presses go through the brightness levels. We like being able to choose between cool white (for seeing what you’re doing) and warm light (for a softer feel). The power button sits on a small panel with a solar cell and the USB-C port, which has its own cover.

The magnet is stronger than we expected. We stuck the light to the Prado’s roof, the inside of the tailgate and even a cook stand with no trouble. The elastic strap makes it easy to hang from a tree branch or pole.

In the wet, the IP66 waterproofing held up well. On one rainy night at Capertee it ran for hours through light showers with no moisture damage and no drop in performance. Even after the morning dew soaked it, the TPU dried quickly and it worked as normal.

It also charges from the sun through the small solar cell. That’s not as fast as USB charging, but it definitely helps to keep the light topped up during the day. We normally just lay it on the dashboard when driving, so it can catch some sun.

Another tip: you can run it from a USB power bank while it charges. We had it plugged into the Kings 24Ah Power Pack for a whole night hanging inside the tent, with no problems.

Materials & Build Quality

The SELORSS light is a frosted TPU tube with LEDs inside. The outer material feels thick and flexible without being flimsy, and it showed no wear after being shoved into storage bins or used in muddy camps. The magnet is sturdy and doesn’t scratch paint. The elastic strap is strongly stitched and has good tension, with no sagging after many uses.

We especially like the waterproofing. The charging port is well sealed, and the TPU kept dew and drizzle out. After a dusty trip we just rinsed it under clean water, and it showed no wear or damage. There’s no fancy case, but it comes with a light TPU storage bag that keeps it clean between uses.

Field Test: Lighting Performance in the Wild

Over several weekend trips, the SELORSS light proved itself. 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 jobs, and the lower settings gave a pleasant, campfire-like glow.

What we noticed most is how evenly it spreads the light. The frosted TPU works as a built-in diffuser, so you don’t get harsh light in one direction. It works well as a central tent light, and hung sideways it’s like a bar light under your awning or inside a rooftop tent.

During one wet and foggy trip in the Watagans, the light never failed or flickered. The battery lasted more than 12 hours on the medium setting, and the switch kept responding even when the light was damp.

Overall, it passed our test easily. 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 like compact, clever gear, the SELORSS inflatable camping light is a good buy. It suits hanging light, soft light in a tent or an emergency backup in the glove box. There’s no battery level indicator, it isn’t bright enough to replace a floodlight and there’s no pouch for the accessories. If you’re trying to cut bulk and still have a safe, usable camp at night, it’s a good addition.

With its inflatable tube, IP66 waterproof rating and frosted TPU, this isn’t just a novelty light. It’s a well-designed light for campers who want something that saves space and runs on a built-in 2000mAh battery.
