Black Diamond Moji R Plus
#2 — Best Value Rechargeable

Black Diamond Moji R Plus Review (2026)

70-hour runtime, magnetic base, $50 -- the rechargeable lantern that just works

★★★★★
8.9/10
Reviewed by William • Updated May 2026 $50

The Black Diamond Moji R+ does everything a camp lantern needs for $30 less than the BioLite Alpenglow. At 250 lumens it is bright enough for any camp use. The 70-hour runtime on medium covers a full camping season of weekend trips without recharging. The magnetic base sticks to any steel surface for hands-free positioning. Reliable, well-priced, and backed by the Black Diamond lifetime warranty.

What Sets It Apart

Two camping seasons as primary campsite lantern. The magnetic base is the standout feature in practice — it attaches readily to canopy metal supports, cast iron camp cookware, and tailgates. The 70-hour medium runtime covered a full 7-night trip without recharging.
