    Comments about Black Diamond Orbit Lantern:

    The specific trip I bought the lantern for was a sub-freezing base camp trip. I primarily used the lantern to light our kitchen set up. It performed great from an elevated nest. The lantern also worked great in my tent and is plenty bright for reading or changing. I plan to bring the lantern on my next backcountry trip in April.

              I have never used a small lantern like this, always use a headlamp in the tent. Love using it in the tent while getting ready for bed, the adjustable brightness is great.

                Comments about Black Diamond Orbit Lantern:

                This light is great for hanging inside a tent. There are two folding loops at the top of the lantern to engage straps inside the tent. Light output can be increased/decreased by holding down the on/off switch for dimming capability. Light weight and compact when not in use (approximately half its normal height). Plastic is frosted to reduce glare.

                  Comments about Black Diamond Orbit Lantern:

                  I tried several different brands / models of small lanterns before this. The either were too heavy, shone in my face no matter where I put them when trying to use them for cooking / eating, or were just too darned dim.

                  This, for me, is the right combo of illumination, adjustability, weight, and features for what I needed for backpacking and for car (truck) camping.

                  Adjustability (brightness) is darned good, frosted shade dumps the glare without losing lumens, and battery life is good once I got rid of a bad recharbeable battery I was using.
