The Xiaomi Multi-function Camping Lantern BHR7349GL is not limited to illuminating one table or tent. Its separable design creates two independent light sources: a broad primary lantern for shared areas and a removable secondary light for walking, directional lighting and smaller spaces.
The primary unit provides adjustable white and RGB illumination up to 230 lumens, while the compact secondary module works as either a 120-lumen flashlight or a 70-lumen side light. Together, they create a flexible lighting system for camping, gardens, balconies, indoor ambience and emergency preparation.

Two Lights, Two Different Jobs
| Lighting Unit | Type of Light | Recommended Position | Best Uses |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Lantern | Wide diffused illumination | Table, tent, balcony or central camping area | Cooking, dining, conversation and ambient lighting |
| Secondary Flashlight | Focused 120-lumen beam | Held in the hand | Walking, checking equipment and directional visibility |
| Secondary Side Light | Broader 70-lumen illumination | Hung from its hook or placed nearby | Reading, tent lighting and compact task illumination |
The removable module reduces the need to carry a separate handheld torch for short movements around the campsite. Users needing a more powerful long-distance beam can also explore dedicated AS2 LED Flashlights.
A Lighting Schedule for a Typical Camping Night
1. When Arriving Before Sunset
Place the complete lantern in the central camping area and use a moderate white-light setting while organising equipment. The broad primary light is more suitable than a focused flashlight when several people need to see the same area.
2. While Preparing Food
Select a brighter cool or neutral white setting so ingredients, utensils and equipment remain clearly visible. Position the lantern above or beside the working surface rather than directly in front of the users’ eyes.
3. During Dinner and Conversation
Reduce the brightness and switch to warmer illumination. A softer warm tone creates a more comfortable atmosphere and causes less visual disturbance than operating the lantern continuously at maximum output.
4. When Leaving the Main Camp Area
Rotate the hook and remove the secondary light. Its 120-lumen flashlight mode provides a more directional beam for walking, finding equipment or checking the surrounding area.
5. Inside the Tent
Use the secondary side light or lower the primary lantern to its minimum brightness. Strong illumination inside a small tent can create uncomfortable glare, especially when the light is positioned close to eye level.
6. Before Sleeping
Return the secondary module to the primary lantern. When correctly inserted, the secondary light switches off and begins charging automatically, keeping the portable light together with the main unit for the next use.
More equipment for tents, travel and outdoor organisation is available through the AS2 Camping Accessories collection.
Choose Brightness According to the Activity
| Situation | Suggested Light Style | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Finding Items Inside a Tent | Low warm white light | Provides visibility without excessive glare |
| Preparing Food | Medium or bright white light | Improves visibility across the working surface |
| Walking Around the Campsite | Secondary flashlight mode | Directs light towards the path |
| Reading | Secondary 70-lumen side light | Creates a compact and less distracting light source |
| Outdoor Dinner | Warm white at moderate brightness | Combines visibility with a relaxed atmosphere |
| Decorative Home Lighting | RGB or warm ambient mode | Adds colour without functioning as the main room light |
| Power Interruption | White light adjusted to the room size | Provides temporary general illumination |
Manual Lighting and Smartphone Control
The lantern connects directly to the Mi Home or Xiaomi Home application through Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0. App control expands the available lighting adjustments without requiring the lantern to be physically repositioned each time.
Through the compatible application, users can:
- Adjust the primary light brightness
- Change between white and coloured lighting
- Select warm or cool colour temperatures
- Create lighting scenes for different environments
- Change ambient colours from a nearby smartphone
This functionality allows the lantern to work as both portable outdoor equipment and part of a connected indoor lighting setup. Similar app-enabled products are available in the AS2 Smart Home gadgets category.
How the Docking System Works
The secondary lamp is stored inside the primary unit rather than being carried as a completely separate accessory. Turning the integrated hook releases the smaller light for independent use.
When the secondary light is returned to its docking position:
- The secondary light switches off automatically.
- Charging begins through the main lantern.
- The smaller light remains protected during transport.
- Both lighting units stay together inside one compact structure.
The secondary module also includes its own hook, allowing it to be suspended inside a tent, beneath a canopy or from another suitable support.
What Does IP54 Protection Actually Allow?
The IP54 rating provides protection against limited dust entry and water splashes. It supports normal outdoor use but does not make the lantern waterproof for immersion or prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
| Generally Suitable | Should Be Avoided |
|---|---|
| Light rain and occasional splashes | Submerging the lantern in water |
| Dusty campsites under normal conditions | Leaving it uncovered during severe storms |
| Balcony and garden use | Washing it under running water |
| Protected outdoor dining areas | Charging while the lantern or port is wet |
| Temporary emergency outdoor lighting | Using it for diving, boating immersion or underwater work |
Charging Both Lighting Units
The primary lantern contains a 4800mAh lithium-ion battery and requires approximately 210 minutes for a complete charge. The removable secondary light has its own 800mAh battery with an approximate charging time of 150 minutes.
USB Type-C charging allows the primary lantern to be recharged through a compatible adapter or portable charging source. A charging cable is included, but a separate power adapter is not supplied as standard.
For longer trips away from electrical outlets, suitable AS2 Power Banks can provide an additional charging source, provided that the selected output and cable are compatible.
Xiaomi Multi-function Lantern vs Foldable 8000mAh Lantern

| Approximate Weight | 565g | 800g |
| Best For | Smart ambience, portable lighting and two independent light sources | Higher battery capacity and emergency phone charging |
Choose the Xiaomi model when Bluetooth control, RGB ambience, lower weight and a truly separate flashlight are important. The 8000mAh Foldable LED Camping Lantern is better suited to users prioritising a larger stated battery and phone-charging capability.
