Product Description:
A bright, non-glaring, soup-can sized backcountry lantern with foldable legs and NRG rechargeable battery compatibility, the Apollo 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 (24.1 cm), boosting light dispersion. The lantern runs on 4 AA alkalines or, better yet, Black Diamond's NRG Rechargeable Battery Kit, and 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.

Rating: - Worth It
Okay, I admit that I am a flashlight (torch, if you are a Brit) junkie, especially LED types. So that's the bias, but that also qualifies me as somewhat of an expert -- well, somewhat. In any event I am very pleased with the build and design of this LED lantern. It is a quality, durable, functional piece of equipment that will last and serve you well. I may even get another one (his and hers when camping). If you can live with the price tag, then it is a good purchase. Even for seldom needed ... Read More
Rating: - Many uses!
We received this as a gift and it works great! Advertised for camping, and I'm sure it will work great for our next trip, but we've already used it for venturing outside in the dark of our backyard. Being battery operated, its perfect for indoors use during power outages. Gives off more light than I would have thought possible from these LEDs. I'm going to send one to my family in FL to keep with their hurricane kit!
Rating: - Great Van and Cabin Light
I got my Black Diamond Apollo and was excited to open the package and try it out. I think it's great! Nice package with pull-up lighthouse and pull-out tri legs that restore into a compact footprint. It's perfect for van camping, which is what I need.
The light output is totally satisfactory, also. All in all, a great little lamp for emergency or cabin use that stores very well.
Rating:  - Compact and bright
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 bit brighter w/ alkalines, or their proprietary NRG battery pack, though I'm guessing lithiums might be too much for it). The dimmer works well, and has a clever feedback method - it blinks once at the top or bottom of the range, and then starts over again if you continue to hold. Oddly, the battery ... Read More
