User Review: Black Diamond Apollo

I wish that this lantern were lighter (bad pun) and less expensive, but otherwise it meets all of my requirements.

The fact that BD has made obvious efforts to minimize environmental impact of its products (reminds me of its sister company, Patagonia) is important to me- I refer to their encouraging users to employ rechargeable power systems whether for lanterns, outerwear or headlamps.

The Apollo's quality of light as well as its intensity and control is excellent. I highly recommend the Orbit, a smaller version, as well.
