G'day Matthew,

I've just checked with our resident expert Biolite Baselantern owner Jake, and he's indicated your phone doesn't need to have mobile coverage, just Bluetooth connection to the lantern.

G'day Ron,

You can use the power button on the BaseLantern XL to turn the unit on or off, to dim and press through the cycles. 

G'day Ron,

We've double-checked the catalogue and product itself and the low lumen output is not actually advertised anywhere. The BaseLantern XL has fully adjustable brightness and colour temperature via the app, and based on trying it out we'd say it's not too dissimilar to a low light lamp.

G'day Phil,

I've just double checked the BaseLantern Xl for you and there are no mount on the base of the lantern to attach it to the outside of a caravan. The stainless steel legs can be rotated and the unit is able to be hung upside down if there is somewhere you can hang it from. The proximity activation sensor is based on your connected Bluetooth device's proximity to the unit rather than being a motion sensor. This means you can have the light activate when you're coming back to camp, Bluetooth range tends to be around 20m. Alternately you can switch the light on/off using an app on your connected device, so you can turn the light on from bed in the caravan too!

G'day Matt,

I've just had a chat with our assistant store manager, Jake, who has a BioLite BaseLantern himself. He said that his stays dimly illuminated for about a minute after he switches it off but that it doesn't stay on permanently. If yours is staying on permanently, then it might well be faulty. Feel free to give us a buzz on 1300 914 007 and we can help you out.

G'day Alex,

It can. The BioLite BaseLantern XL is charged via a Micro USB cable.

G'day Sam,

Great question. From my investigation, the Biolite BaseLantern XL can power 4 SiteLights. This would equate to a set of 2x lights running from the 2 available ports on the BaseLantern.
