After the sun sets, you can’t rely on campfire alone for lighting. Especially after the fire is out and you’ve gone to bed, if you need to leave the tent to use the bathroom, you don’t want to be fumbling around in the dark. Headlamps are not only lightweight and super easy to pack, but they make it much easier to navigate the campsite after dark, or even just read in the tent. For illuminating the body of the tent or an outdoor table, small camp lamps come in handy too! Even if the fire is still roaring, they’ll make it much easier on the eyes if you’re playing board games or snacking.
