Discover the four colors and versatile lighting modes included in the BioLite AlpenGlow Mini Variety Pack, plus tips on setup and use for camping and home.
Quick answer
The AlpenGlow Mini Variety Pack includes four lanterns in Charcoal, Teal, Red, and Gray, each offering ChromaReal warm white light for accurate illumination plus multicolor modes for ambiance.
Why a variety pack instead of single colors
If you camp with a group or want different lanterns for different rooms at home, the variety pack gives you four distinct colors in one box. Each lantern works identically—same brightness, same modes—so you can mix and match without buying separate units. The trade-off is that you cannot choose your own color combo; the pack is fixed to Charcoal, Teal, Red, and Gray.
What the ChromaReal LEDs actually do
ChromaReal LEDs are designed to render colors more naturally than standard camping lanterns. That means your campsite meals, maps, or book pages look closer to how they would under daylight. The multicolor mode adds fun color options for parties or relaxing, but the warm white mode is the practical choice for reading or cooking.
