I also have a black diamond orbit lantern.
I use one of the little LED lights I bought from Dutch to read by, and a glo-stick for ambient light.
With beauty all around you, may you walk.
I used one of these for awhile, as I already had it laying around the house. Costs $1, has plenty of light, clips to your ridgeline, and the battery lasts pretty much forever (I've got at least 30 hours on mine so far)
I use my fenix pd20 light with the diffuser tip on it... It's my every where light, 15 lumens is the most used and with a simple twist I get 180 lumens out the front... 15 lumens to me is great for.this although a bit bright at 3am -_o ... It gives a walking amount of light to about 20' or ten foot out the front when I hang it from my chest strap... It hangs light down so you can just hook it straight to ridgeline or I use a prussic loop to keep it in the same spot...
Live, Laugh, Love, if that doesn't work. Load, Aim and Fire, repeat as necessary...
Buy, Try, Learn, Repeat
I bought a bunch of these and put them all over the place, truck, EDC, pack, keychain, mom's keychain, ridgeline, FAK, etc.... Insanely bright for its size. A buddy used one clipped to hit baseball cap bill as a headlamp last time were out in the woods because he forgot his...he ended up ordering a dozen when we got back from the trip lol.

I use a Mammut headlamp with the ambient light accessory http://www.rei.com/product/799384/ma...ight-accessory
Might want two sources - use something like the Nite Ize or glowstick for ambient light and use a headlamp for detail work/reading, etc.
May not need both on at same time; but for me, having the choices are worthwhile.
PS: hikelight.com sells the Photon Freedom Micro Light. Tiny and bright for detail work or night strolls. Clips onto hat, pocket, ridgeline, etc

"Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn." — John Muir
