Black Diamond Moji R+ Azurite
Score: 88/100Rankings
The Coast EAL22 is a full-size emergency area lantern designed for portable and versatile lighting, delivering up to 1,250 lumens across five output modes including warm and cool white options. Its main trade-off is the brief high-mode runtime and the potential need to purchase a rechargeable battery separately for optimal convenience. It is best suited for emergency preparedness, professional inspection work, and search and rescue operations.
The Black Diamond Moji R+ is a compact, rechargeable camping lantern designed for ultralight backpackers and minimalists. It delivers 200 lumens of adjustable white light with full-spectrum color modes and features an integrated Li-ion battery with micro-USB charging. It is best suited for solo hikers and bikepackers who prioritize weight savings over maximum brightness.
