Product Details
Description:
Add a little space age to your gear with Black Diamond's Apollo LED Lantern that sits up on its own foldable legs like the NASA's lunar module from the Apollo program. You'll get the multi-directional light of a lantern without the weight of one rolled into a 9.5-inch-tall lantern that folds down to a mere 5 inches.

Features:

  • Get plenty of illumination with the dual reflectors that refract the light of the 3-watt LED that casts a 10 meter light radius
  • Keep it powered up with 4 AA batteries or use the NRG rechargeable battery; and don't worry, the battery power indicator will let you know when you're getting low
  • Adjust your light level with the dimming switch
  • If space is an issue, don't worry, the legs can be folded to make the 9.5-inch-tall lantern only 5 inches in height
  • After you crawl into your tent for the night, hang it by it's ring at the top of your tent

Specifications:

  • Weight without batteries: 7.8 ounces
  • Dimensions: 3 x 5 inches (collapsed); 3 x 9.5 inches (extended)
  • Battery type: 4 AA batteries or NRG recharcheable battery
  • Burn time: up to 60 hours

Comments about Black Diamond Apollo LED Lantern:

Can't describe how much we love this light. We bring it xc skiing at night to light up the cabin during soup break, backpacking so we can both read while laying in the tent or cooking outside, and we use it at home on the rare occasion that the power goes out. Love the different light settings and the fact that it can stand on its own or hang.

like having a little sun at your command

Bottom Line:

Comments about Black Diamond Apollo LED Lantern:

This light puts out an incredible amount of usable light. The light is even and diffused enough to not ruin your night vision. Using the Apollo on the lowest setting is perfect for reading in a tent and is also sufficient for cooking on a pitch black night. When the light is put to it's brightest setting it can be used as a light source to walk through the woods or along a trail.
The three legs are also incredible at being capable of putting the light in a variety of positions.
