User Review: Black Diamond Orbit
Rating: ![]()
Price Paid: $29.95
Summary
BRILLIANT, yeah it is bright
Pros
- Doubly adjustable, by using the adjustment button and gently/slightly collapsing will furthermore reduce the light output to a bare minimal light.
- Excellent in the tent, on the table, in the field. When I arrive at a campsite in the dark this is one of the first things I pull out, turn it on along with my headlamp and find the area to pitch the tent. Then place it right next to that area while setting up.
- This smaller version of lamp has been by far enough for the minimalist camping that I like doing.
- Nice and small to hang inside tent BUT don't be fooled as it puts out lots of light in the tent.
- Good diffusement of good light.
- Packs real small and it quite light.
- When packed down the on/off button is protected from an accidental turn on.
Cons
- Not waterproof, but doesn't really need to be.
- The two overlapping double hooks for hanging would be better being longer.
This is one of only a few luxuries I take and it is well worth the small room and tiny amount of weight.
Yes, I do recommend and would buy this model again from REI.
