Excellent design, versatile, sturdy, compact, light weight, and runs for an impressive amount of time. Just enough light for a campsite and hassle free. Hang it from the tent ceiling, or from a tree...
We brought one of these and a flashlight for our last back packing trip. Worked great, we will bring 2 of these and maybe not the flashlight for the next trip.
We have a mantle lantern as well, it stays home now too.
Aside from the specifications already listed, it is the function of this lantern that make it a present class leader. The redesign elevated a good lamp to great.
Pros: battery gauge, collapses that prevents accidental activation and halves the size, great battery life thanks to the use of any AA batteries ( I use rechargable Sanyo Eneloops) and a fully adjustable one button dimmer switch, rubberized base, flashlight integrated (very floody), durable, nice even light from frosted globe, great stainless double hook for hanging, weight with Eneloop batteries 8.4 oz, reasonable price.
Cons: trying to think of one.
Better light transmission than a 3 D cell Rayovac Sportsmans lantern.

The lantern is much smaller than I thought it was. Check the dimensions so you know what size to expect. The lamp is plenty bright for its size, but don't expect anything like what a full size lantern can produce. I had it set up on a bench at the campsite and it was able to light the table pretty well, but not really much past it. It also works great in a tent to hang from the ceiling.
Overall it is really a nice mini lantern with great battery life and basic waterproofing. I am very happy with this purchase, but I may get a full size lantern for car camping as well.
This is an AWESOME product. I was a little shocked by how little it is but don't let the size detour your decision from buying this product. I bought this in addition to the Black Diamond Revolt Headlamp as I needed something in a lantern form. When comparing the two the headlamp is definitely brighter but I am still satisfied with the overall product. In one aspect its a flashlight and then you simply pull it and it becomes a lantern. I can't wait until our next camping trip to test this out in the tent. If you're looking for a compact lantern and know the quality of Black Diamond you MUST BUY! You won't be disappointed!
I dont think you will think its really that small. Collapsed its the size of a coffee cup. Pull the top up as the pix shows, its maybe 8-10". But does a great job of illumination. The bottom can be more of a flashlight (or downlight if hung up) and due to the size is easy to hold or the top works like a camp light. But really great to have around the home for when the lights go off (that why we have it) and small enough where you can have 3-5 out of the way, for the times you need them. I bought two more after this.
