Overview & Intended Use
The Vango Midge 180 is designed for outdoor environments where both practical lighting and insect control are required. It functions as a standard LED lantern for illuminating seating areas, tables, or tents, while also operating as a UV insect zapper to reduce flying insects nearby.
This model sits above basic campsite lanterns by incorporating a dedicated insect control function, making it particularly suitable for summer camping, fishing trips, and outdoor dining. The rechargeable battery supports repeated use, and the hanging hook allows flexible positioning around campsites or shelters.
