High on the list of must-have gear for outdoor lovers is a solid and bright headlamp. Encased in a sleek and small but durable plastic housing, the headlamp outputs 400 lumens powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The soft, recycled elastic headband easily adjusts with one hand, and the lamp has a second switch to go between lenses along with a memory function that saves your last brightness setting. Improved lighting technology gives you a brighter, more efficient light which you can adjust by simply tapping the headlamp body. It’s also IPX8-rated for waterproofness and you get proximity and distance modes, dimming, strobe, and red night-vision settings.
Satisfied shoppers like that that headlamp is rechargeable with a long battery life and a bright light. "This little light is a powerhouse,” said one customer. “I love it—comfortable and easy to use." Another agreed, saying “The light is very bright,” adding, “I like its very long battery life—I don't want to be bothered to charge or change batteries very often and this model allows that.”
Other campers loved that it’s compact but still bright enough for big adventures: “This light is perfect for all outings—it is lightweight enough for trail/hiking adventures and bright enough for cross-country skiing and biking.” The easy-to-use controls also garnered praise, with one shopper saying that “the adjustment on this product is smooth and quiet” and another saying ”I really like the ability to ramp up/down the brightness and the ease of changing between your lights.”
A good quality headlamp like this one should be on your camping gear upgrade list if you don’t already have one. Not only is it full of features, well-made, easy-to-operate, and waterproof, it’s a shocking 40% off, which is rare for a Black Diamond product. It’s only available in one color though, so it's likely to sell out soon, which means it'd be wise to jump on it quickly.
