Whether you're cooking on the tailgate, playing cards in camp or sorting gear in the tent, the Black Diamond Apollo Lantern provides 250 lumens of bright, glare-free and fully adjustable light. The Apollo runs on either its internal rechargeable lithium ion battery or standard alkalines, and the lantern also charges handheld electronics via an external USB port. The redesigned housing features a collapsible double-hook loop for hanging in the tent or on a tree, as well as folding legs for setting on a table. Strobe and dimming modes allow for custom lighting, and a power meter displays for both alkalines and the internal rechargeable battery.

Reviews
Solid little light
"This is a nice little lantern. I ski into some back country huts that have no lighting so these do a nice job of throwing light at a fraction of the weight of a propane or butane lantern. They can also charge your devices in a pinch."
Great lanterns for backpacking groups!
"I ordered 2 (1 blue and 1 red) - I love them absolutely. They are the best convenience for camping / backpacking trips in group. Though it’s probably a bit extra weight if you are backpacking alone etc. , maybe go with the Mojo. But the Apollo lanterns have it all for backpacking groups that wants some entertainment at night!"
Outstanding lamp!!
"I know this quite possibly not fit in with all the elite BD athletes but my wife and I have acreage off grid that we power with solar. We, unfortunately, got vandalized and were left with no overhead lights. This lamp was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING for 3 days!! I am NOW looking forward to utilizing it for my summer backpacking treks!! SCORE!!"
Great
"Love that its reachable and has the option to put batteries in makes it last a long time"
Regret
"Was on sale over Christmas so I bought several as gifts & one for myself. After Christmas, tried mine out. No USB cord included. Went to local Walmart, no USB-A to USB-A cords, apparently they’re “old” now so had to order off Amazon. Once cord arrived, unit won’t charge past 1 of 3 lights. Run time on rechargeable battery (one of the main reasons I purchased) is only a few minutes. Suspecting old stock with old internal batteries, hence the $ markdown. On AA’s, works well with good adjustable light output but disappointed in the poor internal battery / rechargeable capability. Feeling bad for those I gifted also, not the Black Diamond quality I expected."
Apollo lantern
"The Black Diamond Apollo Lantern is a highly functional, well-designed lighting solution for any use!! With strong, 360° light output and a smooth dimming interface, it provides excellent usable illumination without harsh glare. The brightness range makes it versatile for everything from cooking and gear organization to low-light evening use. The construction is rugged and stable, with folding legs that work well on uneven surfaces and multiple hanging options for any overhead use. Battery performance has been solid, including in colder conditions, and the USB-rechargeable feature adds real convenience for extended trips. Overall, I don't leave my place without this lantern, plus its pretty light! Apollo is a dependable, thoughtfully engineered lantern that performs exactly as intended in real outdoor environments. A great addition to any kit"
Apollo Lantern
"This thing is great. It’s light enough so that if i wanted to take it 5-6 miles into a camp I could. It also serves as a backup phone charger, to an extent, which is great. I got it on sale, so it was a steal. Would buy again."
Great little car kit light!
"I have a ton of Black Diamond stuff and love it, so these were kind of a no-brainer when I saw them on closeout and got a bunch of them. The micro USB is a bummer, but I totally get it and I have a bunch of other BD headlamps and stuff that is also micro so nbd. Got one for the wife and daughter to keep in their car too."
Nice but not very bright
"A great lantern for small spaces but does not illuminate a bedroom. I used it when our electricity went out."
