Black Diamond Orbit Lantern (Super Light, Tad Pricey)
The Black Diamond Orbit Lantern is a great light. The Black Diamond Orbit Lantern is super tiny but boasts and “ok” light for its size. With LED bulbs, this takes a long time to run out of the batteries. Through my use I have found this to be great for all uses, due to its size and weight. I used this hanging at the top of the tent and works great. Price is a little high, and the light could be brighter than 45 lumens. This is around – depending on where you get it. Berzy Rating: 81/100 Details: LED Type : DoublePower (1-watt) Batteries : 4 AAA not included, NRG2 compatible Max Burn Time : 24 H Lumens : 45 Weight Without Batteries : 84 g, 3 oz DoublePower LED with 45 lumens (max setting) enclosed inside a frosted globe produces bright, non-glaring light Dual reflector system captures and maximizes light output Uses NRG2 Rechargeable Battery Kit (with Battery Power Indicator) or 4 AAA alkaline batteries Unique dimming switch provides adjustable brightness Compactible to 102 mm (4 in); extended height is 140 mm (5.5 in) Collapsible hang loop

Investigating LED Bulb Power Factors
Investigating what happens to the power factor and apparent power of an LED light bulb as it is dimmed. I found that the apparent power of an LED bulb does not necessarily decrease as the bulb is dimmed. In the case of several of these bulbs, the apparent power actually increased as the bulb was dimmed. What this means is that it may be more efficient to run certain LED bulbs at full brightness rather than dimmed. If your house has a “smart meter” that takes power factor into consideration, then these high-tech LED light bulbs won’t be saving you as much as they claim on the packaging. However, if you have an old fashion electric meter, then the bulbs will be charged at their face value. ledbulbreview.wordpress.com
