From Backcountry.com:
"The largest of the Superlight tents, the Black Diamond Lighthouse is quite roomy for two people, while weighing in at a little over three pounds. Built on the Bibler Eldorado footprint/Ahwahnee canopy and using the innovative fabrics Epic and SilNylon along with DAC Featherlite aluminum poles, this tent is great for hard-core climbers and minimalist travelers who embrace the "light is right" ideology. The Lighthouse boasts a full side-door opening with screen netting, a roof that tops out at 43 inches and a small back window for ventilation. The Epic fabric canopy breathes and repels water well while the SilNylon floor keeps the water out. An exceptional tent if space and weight are your primary considerations."
From Oregon Mountain Community:
"A spacious and superlight two-person, three-season tent, the Black Diamond Lighthouse is built on a simple, space-maximizing footprint. Using a two-and-a-half pole design, the Lighthouse walls are steep with awnings on both sides—over the small back window and over the full-size front door, which has a full no-see-um mesh panel for bug-free fresh air in nice weather. The EPIC canopy is breathable, water resistant and packs down small. The floor is built from durable, tear-resistant, double-silicone-coated nylon ripstop. The Lighthouse’s two interior net pockets help keep things organized inside.Black Diamond Lighthouse Specs: Capacity (persons): 2 Weight: 3 lb. 12 oz.

I've rated the tent with four stars because I haven't yet had it out in really nasty weather. Yes, it's been in the rain and the wind but I have not weathered a really bad storm inside it."
