Black Diamond Apollo or Orbit?
Forum rules
TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Have seen the Apollo in use and it looked really good but also check out the 24 LED lights that Super Cheap and Auto Barn sell under $12 .00 used one this weekend and it was more than adequate (needs to be suspended though) runs on 3 AAA and only weighs 98g with batteries.

Late edit could use Walking pole to suspend

Have the apollo. Good design, sturdy. Probably wouldnt carry it unless with a group, weighty.

The Orbit is great - Small, light and throws alot of light. 4 man tent / small cooking area of the same size is well lite by the Orbit. I hang it under my tarp when hammocking and the dimmer function is great as on full it would be to bright to read under but with the dimmer it can be set to what ever your needs are.
