"The Black Diamond Orbit Lantern is super small, light, and with the super awesome dimmer switch, is easy to get the appropriate level of brightness. The Orbit has two separate hooks that make hanging this bright little guy from anything a snap."

A DoublePower LED works with our dual reflector system and frosted globe to illuminate everything from tent-bound reading to pre-dawn racking.

"Near perfect for small groups under in one tent." 05/09/12
Collapses down a bit smaller than a can of Red Bull (the lil ones) and lets off a good amount of light. Also has a dimmable switch and clever bail (also collapses and can hook around mesh/cord to hang from gear lofts). Small footprint, lightweight, decent construction, plenty of light on AAA power. For a few people sharing a tent, there's nothing not to love.
"Economic and Practical Lantern" 11/16/11
This is a great choice for any camping or backpacking trip. The adjustable brightness is an awesome feature that I used at night for reading or writing in my journal. The area this lights up is also incredible and can hook to anything. This is something everyone should pick up.
"Excellent Light" 10/28/11
Light weight and very bright. What more could you want in a backpacking light. Creates enough backlight in the tent to look into bags and get ready for the night. Lasted on a 14 day hiking trip on one set of batteries.
"Excellent light" 10/28/11
Light weight and bright. What more can you want? Lights up a tent at night with enough backlight to see into bags, to set up the tent for the night or to get ready for bed. Lasted 14 days on a hiking trip without needing to change batteries.
"Great for (long) weekend trips but bring extra batteries for longer trips!" 10/10/11
Batteries died on the 4th night of our week-long trip, which was disappointing. We were using it 3-4 hours a night on average on the lowest setting and I was expecting a fresh set of batteries to last the entire trip. By comparison my Petzl Tikka Plus headlamp, which runs on 3 AAA batteries, was used 5-6 hours a night and lasted through the entire trip on one set of batteries. BD is going to have to work to improve the efficiency of their lanterns/LEDs. Bottom line: this is a great compact/lightweight lantern for (long) weekend trips. If you're going to be out there longer, bring extra batteries or step up to the Apollo.
"Great buy.. but CHECK THE DIMENSIONS!" 09/08/11
After going off of the other reviews it seemed like it would be more than bright enough for our needs for a large group camping. I was incorrect. Now, don't get me wrong, this is a great little lantern that if your alone, or only with a few people, does a great job of casting a bit of light to see the back of a pick up, or cards on a picnic table. Its number one use is hanging from the top of your tent and lighting up the entire thing with ease. Just be cautious if your looking for something to brighten up a larger area for a few more people, this is not the lantern your looking for. But its small size and light weight make it perfect to serve the purposes I stated above.
"Great little light, but attracts bugs" 08/29/11
We used this lantern a few weeks ago while backpacking through parts of the Mt. Hood National Forest. The light is great for inside-tent illumination, but attracts lots of bugs when hung on a tree branch (we used it while setting up tent and the mosquitoes were going crazy over it! Otherwise a great lantern, providing the perfect amount of ambient light.
