And it looks like a space ship.

A couple weeks ago I underestimated travel time and ended up having to search for a campsite in the dark. The only one available by then was a walk in site that was well out of the range of car headlights. Luckily I had my Apollo along and tent set up was a breeze. I found it a little on the heavier side for backpacking, but the extra ounces are well worth it for the light quality and power.
Awesome!

Works as well as the previous review suggests. With regards to the rechargeable battery, that is the NRG made by black diamond. It fits the icon headlamp and the apollo. It is great not to have to buy batteries!

I am a scout master and needed a battery lantern that I could use after calling for lights out yet have something immediately accessible w/ a broader field of view than a flashlight.Pros: - Very bright light for any form factor- Great design (expands / collapses easy)- Feels durable (has some substance to it)- One button operation (works well w/ big fingers too)- Since we're from Houston, love the NASA themeCons:- Afraid I will crack the lens when packing in my backpack.- No A/C adapter avail - I can't find the rechargable option anywhere- My son wants one and it is a little expensive to outfit a 12 year old.

I am a scout leader and needed a lantern that I could hang in the tent after calling for lights out, and still have enough light immediately accessible should I need it that wasn't just a flashlight (broader coverage). Pros:- incredibly bright for any form factor- great collapse / expansion design- seems like it will last (feels solid)- single button operation works well (easy for big fingers)- live in Houston and like the NASA themeCons:- a little hard to pack due to being scared I'll crack the lens- though advertised w/ rechargable capability, can't find it anywhere- would be great to have an optional A/C source when electricity is avail.- my son wants one of his own and is a bit expensive for outfitting a 12 year old.
This is the ONE

I was looking for a lantern for kayak camping. Most small lanterns are cheap and just don't have the lumens. The larger ones take up too much space in the boat and/or use heavy batteries. This one is just right. It folds to the size of a beer can, uses two AA batteries, and puts out enough lumens for a small camp site or large tent. Plus, the legs and switch are cool. Buy an extra to give for Christmas.
