With Black Diamond's introduction of the LED Apollo Lantern, gas lanterns have officially become a thing of the past. The Apollo has even won the Alpinist Mountain Standards award. This compact lantern packs down to only 5 x 3in and then extends to a nine-inch height when you need some light. Black Diamond added folding aluminum legs to make the Apollo Lantern stable when it's on a table, and a top loop lets you hang it inside the tent for those storm-bound card games. The three LED bulbs light up a 30-foot radius for outside use, and the Apollo dims to save energy when don't need the power. You can use Black Diamond's NRG rechargeable battery system or four AA batteries.
