The camping light is versatile and bright, with adjustable legs and a hook for hanging. It has excellent battery life and thoughtful features like variable brightness settings. While some found it a bit heavy and bulky for backpacking, the lantern generally provides ample illumination for outdoor activities and is well-designed and durable.

The Apollo Lantern is great!
The Apollo Lantern is great! It is bright, adjustable, lockable, and can switch between an internal battery or AAA's. The charging feature is great, but the fact that it uses a USB Micro B instead of USB C drags it from a 5 star to a 4 star.

Great Lantern
Took this camping in Tahoe for a few days. Great for the tent, great for cooking. The dimming function is pretty clutch.

Great lantern
This is a great lantern. If functions great and gives off the right amount of light. My only gripe is that the charger port is micro USB.

Versatile lantern
Got this lantern on a recent sale. I really like the ability to open up legs and the ground or hang inside the tent.

Great lamp
The light is adjustable and is so lightweight you can hang it anywhere. It's also great on the table as the lamp is designed to cast the light down so it's not hitting at eye level.

Brightens up my life
Good lantern. Gets as bright as I'd ever want it to and the dim setting is perfect for hanging out in the tent pre-sleep time. I love that it can be hung from a carabiner or used on a table. Charges fast and holds a charge for a while.

Go to cabin and base camp lighting for group camping!
This is our go to light for a battery bank and light source in remote cabins or when setting up a car camp or base camp where groups of people will come together for meals and spending time together. We use this whenever we are all together as its lumen output can be raised and lowered to supplement individual headlamps and campfires!

Useless lantern
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Lantern didn’t work correctly and when returned to backcountry they said I damaged the packaging and refused to give me a full refund, I got store credit instead for the defective item.

Nice for light, but not for charging a phone.
Took this up on Mt Baker. While the light worked, the charging capabilities did not. Was not able to take many photos or check in with people because my phone died. Pretty useless, dead weight item to have taken with me.

Perfect!
I just love this Apollo lantern! It is very sturdy, easy and quick to charge and features like the dimming process are very clever. It will be an excellent addition to my upcoming camping trip!
