Mosquito-free summer evenings in the van: the Carbest rechargeable camping lamp takes care of it

Bivouacking by the water, a June night with the sliding door open, dinner under the awning… summer evenings in a van are among the finest — until the mosquitoes show up. The Carbest anti-mosquito camping lamp solves this problem without chemicals: rechargeable LED lighting and insect protection in a single compact accessory, ready to go wherever your van takes you.

The principle is simple and effective: an integrated UV light attracts insects and a heating grid neutralises them on contact, without releasing any substance into the air. This is a real advantage for use in an enclosed or semi-open space — inside the van, under the awning or placed on a picnic table. No toxic products, no cartridge refills: just two independent switches (lighting and anti-mosquito) to manage both functions according to your needs at any given moment.

In lighting mode, the lantern offers 4 brightness levels — 100% (over 150 lm), 50% (over 70 lm), flashing and standby — allowing it to adapt equally well to reading in the van or creating a soft ambiance outside. The built-in 3.7 V / 2,000 mAh battery charges via micro USB, with a battery life in anti-mosquito mode of up to 30 hours. An integrated hook allows it to be hung from the roof bar, an awning arm or a door hook; it can also be placed flat on a surface.

Carbest is a German brand specialising in technical equipment for leisure vehicles, with products that are equally suited to motorhomes and converted vans. 

How to use the Carbest anti-mosquito camping lamp?

No installation is required. Charge the lamp via the supplied micro USB cable before you leave, then hang it from your awning arm, a sliding door hook, or place it on a table. Activate the LED lighting and/or the UV anti-mosquito function as needed using the dedicated switches. The lamp can also be used inside the van on bad-weather evenings. Remember to clean the collection grid regularly to maintain the system's effectiveness.
