Product Description: Winner of the Alpinist Mountain Standards award, the compact Black Diamond Apollo Lantern packs down to only 5 x 3 in. and then extends to a nine-inch height when you need some light. Added folding aluminum legs make the Apollo stable when it's on a table, and a top loop lets you hang it inside the tent for those storm-bound mental sessions. The three LED bulbs light up a 30-foot radius for outside use, and the Apollo dims to save energy when you don't need the power. You can use Black Diamond's NRG rechargeable battery system or four AA batteries. A 3-Watt LED works in tandem with dual reflectors and a frosted globe to provide maximum light output without causing glare. A unique dimming switch provides quick and easy brightness adjustability.
Amazon.com Product Description: A bright, non-glaring, soup-can sized backcountry lantern with foldable legs and NRG rechargeable battery compatibility, the Black Diamond Apollo lantern is equipped to illuminate all of your nighttime camping activities such as cooking, reading in the tent, or playing a three-hour, no-mercy game of Rummy 500. The Apollo's frosted globe combined with its inset 3-watt LED, eliminates glare while the dual reflectors capture and maximize light output, casting off illumination to brightly fill a four-person tent.
A unique dimming switch provides adjustable brightness, and the distinctive fold-down legs increase the Apollo's height to 9.5 inches, boosting light dispersion. The lantern runs on 4 AA alkalines as well as Black Diamond's NRG Rechargeable Battery Kit, and it has a handy battery power indicator with green, yellow or red LEDs that display either the amount of battery power left or the charging status of the NRG.

This lantern has quite a few things going for it. Collapsed, it's very small - about the size of a can of soup. The 3W LED puts out a decent amount of light, even running off 1.2V NiMH AAs (it might be a tad ... Read More
