Product Highlights

The pocket-sized, ultra-lightweight Black Diamond Orbit lantern utilizes a full 1-Watt LED bulb to provide ounce-counting backpackers with bright, non-glaring illumination. Despite weighing just 3 oz (not including batteries) the Orbit serves as a powerful, reliable light source.

Working in tandem with dual reflectors and a frosted globe, the 1-Watt bulb provides maximum light output without causing glare. An integrated dimming switch allows for quick and easy brightness adjustability. Operated by 4 AAA alkaline batteries (not included), the Orbit offers 24 hours of burn time. The Orbit is also compatible with Black Diamond's NRG2 Rechargeable 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 NRG2 Rechargeable Battery Kit.

When collapsed, the Orbit is a mere 4 inches in length. At full extension, the Orbit stands at a full height of 5.5 inches, increasing the disbursement of light.

The Black Diamond Orbit lantern is available in your choice of colors.

Colors available: Dark Chocolate, Dark Shadow, Lava, Lime Green, Process Blue, Ultra White

    Likes: Amazing product and performs very well considering its size.

    Dislikes: None

    Likes: This little lantern is perfect for backpacking. It's lightweight and puts out enough light to see what you need once it's gone dark. It puts out 45 lumens, so it's not going to light up everything around you, but it should give you what you need. If you want more lumens, you'll end up with something heavier. The other thing I like is that it seems fairly durable.

    Dislikes: I haven't found anything I don't like yet.

    Likes: This thing is very cool! I was surprised at how small it was, which is a good thing. I should have looked at the specs. The battery holder for the 4 AAAs is well made. Very light. Nice features like hooks to hang it and variable brightness. Have not used it on an outing yet so can't comment on battery life. Looks like a great product and excellent value.

    Dislikes: Nothing.

    Likes: This light was perfect for my tent. I was able to read by this light and sort clothing for the next day's bike ride. The dinmming switch is a real plus. We plan to use it as an emergency light for power failures in the home. Liz was especially helpful with the selection of this product.
