Here's what other sites are saying:

From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Bibler Beta Light Shelter (Spring 2008) An ultralight version of the Betamid, the two-person Beta Light by Bibler is built from 30d SilNylon to provide the same coverage of 3.2 square meters (34.7 square feet) at half the weight and space in your pack. It pitches taut and is fast and easy to set up and break down with seven stake outs and two adjustable length trekking poles or ski poles (not inlcuded). The floorless design lets you set up your stove inside and have dinner without worrying about spilling on the floor. For a three-season shelter, the Beta Light can be used with the Beta Bug."

From Backcountry.com:
"The floorless Black Diamond Beta Light Shelter protects two backpackers from the elements and only adds a scant 19-ounces to your pack. Pitch the Beta Light with the two trekking poles you already have with you, and relax in the massive 34.7sq feet of interior space. Thanks to Black Diamond's use of ultralight 30D SilNylon material, this spacious shelter packs to an incredibly small 4 x 6 inches."

Depending on your activity you can toggle between the two LED or five LED option. The micro-chipped output can be adjusted using three brightness settings including strobe illumination. The streamlined battery box holds 3 AAA batteries and is easy to access. Weighing only 102 grams, the NightRay is our lightest and most compact, full-function headlamp for trail running, evening desert hikes and early morning approaches."

"Very impressed with this tent. Incredibly light. . . and since your trekking poles will double as the upright poles, your total bulk/weight is very low. Fly material is supple and tough, and compresses very well. The design and stitching of the fly is of good quality."
