Color Gray Ultra White Qty:
Powerful enough for camping trips or base camp illumination, the innovative Black Diamond Apollo lantern is so compact and lightweight, that you can also throw it in your pack for your next backcountry adventure.
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. Operated by 4 AA alkaline batteries (not included), the Black Diamond Apollo offers 60 hours of burn time. The Apollo is also compatible with Black Diamond’s NRG Battery Kit (sold separately) which cuts down on waste and provides you with a renewable energy source. An integrated battery power indicator lets you know the amount of battery left or the charging status of the NRG Rechargeable Battery Kit.
The Black Diamond Apollo has a free-standing design that employs foldable and extendible legs. At full extension, the Apollo can stand at a full height of 9.5 inches which greatly increases the disbursement of light.

Likes: Great little lantern that puts out a lot of light. Haven't gone camping yet, but it did a great job during a power outage last week. I will be buying more
Dislikes: pretty expensive
Rating: Customer: Michael J. - Bremen, OH Review Date: 6/22/2009
Likes: I just finished a trip in the OBX. Nice design lite and compact. It worked as expected. I hung it from the loop at the top of a 12 x 12 tent and we were able to read with plenty of light. We were car camping and I will deffinetely take this on my next backpacking trip.
Dislikes: Battery life was not as long as advertised but it is still pretty good.
Rating: Customer: Candice C. - Medina, OH Review Date: 6/3/2009
Likes: The light is very good to hang in your tent to see or provide a little extra light outside while camping. The battery life is pretty good even without buying rechargable batteries. The batteries lasted two weekend camping trips with kids who had the lights on for every thing all night.
Dislikes: I wish it was little bigger for the cost. But overall it does what is neededed - provide light.
Rating: Customer: Robert W. - Denver, CO Review Date: 4/9/2009
Likes: Great product. Replaced my gasoline lanterns. Use for car camping and short overnighters. Light output is suitable for whole campsite on maximum and morethan enough for tent on minimum. Mass is 299g with NiMh rechargables and 236g with NRG Black Diamond pac. Very efficient with power usage!
Dislikes: I would say it is too big and heavy for extended backpack trips...better off with "Orbit" model which is size of the "original candle lantern"
Rating: Customer: Travis I. - Boise, ID Review Date: 3/12/2009
Likes: Just wow. Coming from a really old Coleman battery lantern that takes D-cell batteries this thing is just awesome. I still can't believe how small it is.
Dislikes: Non so far. The legs spring closed if you aren't holding on to them and I always think they are going to crack the housing but I doubt it would ever happen.
