Description :
I love this amazing little lantern. Bright yet not glary, compact yet effective.
Here is the Black Diamond people's blurb
A pocket-sized, collapsible camping mini lantern, the Orbit is perfect for (motorcycling) trekking and backpacking excursions where gram shaving is crucial.
- The 84-gram (3 oz) Orbit compacts to 102 mm (4 in) and extends in height to 140 mm (5.5 in), yet still casts a broad, six-foot radius of light.
- The brightness of the Orbit's non-glaring 1-watt LED can be adjusted thanks to its dimming switch, while the dual reflectors and frosted globe maximize light output and minimize the lantern's shadow.
- Cleverly designed dual hooks on top of the Orbit allow it to be quickly and securely attached to a tent or tree branch.
- The lantern runs on 4 AAA alkalines, as well as Black Diamond's Orbit-specific battery pack
Even the base uses neat non slip feet.
Reading while camping is always a challenge. I use it resting on my chest to read a book in perfect light. The solid top reflects light onto the page...perfect!
