Overland Park, Kan. - Bushnell Outdoors, an industry-leader in outdoor product innovation, has introduced two new lanterns in its new RUBICON line of lighting products. From a family camping trip to a backcountry adventure, the two new RUBICON lanterns are designed to efficiently illuminate camp with comfortable, practical lighting options.

Purposefully crafted to offer brighter and more reliable light, the RUBICON lanterns are outfitted with high-quality Cree LEDs that provide maximum brightness and longer, more efficient battery life. Each lantern also features a regulated circuit, which translates into consistent brightness and less dimming throughout the battery lifecycle.

The A200L Compact Lantern is the ultimate combination of portability and light output, emitting up to 200 lumens of light for five hours. With a height of 8.4 inches and a weight of 11.8 ounces, the A200L is compact when stowed and offers great utility with features such as folding legs and an integrated carabineer that makes the lantern easy to hang. Powered by four AA batteries, the lantern has four light modes: high, low, down light and the exclusive Red Halo setting. When hung, the down light emits a 21-lumen light that's perfect for reading or organizing gear, while the Red Halo emits a soft red glow that won't overwhelm fully dilated pupils and disrupt natural vision.

The A350L Lantern offers up to 350-lumens of light with several convenient features for campers and outdoor recreationalists. Designed to serve as the central light source for camp, the A350L has a 30-hour runtime on high and a total of seven light settings. In addition to high, low, ultra-low and Red Halo modes, the A350L can quickly be converted to a spotlight with the twist of a collar on the lantern. The spotlight, which can operate in high, low or ultra-low mode, provides a directional beam that can be used to navigate back to camp or illuminate a trail.

The RUBICON A200L Compact Lantern is available for a suggested retail price of $29.99, and the A350L Lantern retails for $49.99.

Designed for the modern outdoorsman, Bushnell Outdoors is a new collection of rugged and durable gear built to withstand the rigors of the trail, off-trail or wherever camp is pitched. For more information about Bushnell Outdoors, visit www.bushnelloutdoors.com.
