BLACK DIAMONDSpot 400 LED Headlamp, Waterproof and Dimmable Battery Powered Headlamp for Camping, Hiking, Running, Work, Travel with Red Light Mode, Graphite

Absolutely love my head lamp! It is bright! It had a few different modes of operation but it remembers the last setting you chose. I love that is pink! The batteries are durable, and the headband is very comfortable! It is adjustable so you can wear it as tight as you prefer! I feel this is the perfect price for a high quality, adorable headlamp.

This light is great and functions better than others I have tried. instead of having 3 preset brightness settings like the PETZL ACTIK CORE, it has a dimmer that you can press and select any brightness level for the regular lights and the red light. It has a wider option that lights up the room as well as a focused spot light. It has strobe/sos as well. All around even this has less lumens technically than others I find it more useful and easier to use.

I love this light. This is my second one. I finally used the "'dual power" battery and charger and quit buying regular batteries. Super bright light with several settings. Lightweight and easy to wear.

Thank you, Black Diamond, for not messing with the formula.They refining it every year or so, but keep the basics the same. A smart strategy.I've been using the Spot since version 1. I've used them for alpine starts on hikes and climbs; nighttime descents from just about everything, every time of year; as my sole light on multiday climbing trips (I never felt the need to bring a backup); and lately, for fixing things around a house where everything needs fixing. This light is as comfortable under a nasty kitchen sink as it is in a snow cave (even if I'm not).Killer features: Long battery life (if you dim the beam to what you actually need). Flood light, which is perfect for low-fatigue lighting while reading a map or hanging around in a tent. Great compatibility with Eneloop batteries (maybe slightly less bright than with alkalines, but plenty good). Compatibility with non-rechargeable lithium metal AAA batteries, for if you ever need insane battery life, or reliability down to -40°. I haven't used BD's new rechargeable custom lithium ion battery, but it looks like a cool option for some uses ... like maybe if you bring a solar charger on a long trip. very good water resistance.My one complaint—on earlier versions, the metal battery contacts were flimsy. We'll see how the new model does.

I have used this headlamp In and around the house, outside at night and while kayaking. The adjustable brightness is helpful. I notice I use the wide-angle LED Most often. It’s quick to get to full brightness by double tapping the side of the unit. While kayaking, hi predominantly used the red light under a full moon and could see well. It is also lightweight, adjustable and comfortable when in use. The learning curve is minimal to learn how to switch within the modes, brightness, etc. The build quality is very good. I had an issue with an older model where the battery compartment broke when I replaced the batteries. I don’t see that happening with this model. The only reason I’m giving at four instead of five stars is that the rechargeable battery pack is additional. I didn’t realize that when I initially ordered it, but it did come with Duracell alkaline batteries.

Easy to use and tough head lamp. Has three settings. I mainly use it to watch over my baby at night time with the red light setting. It is comfortable on the head

Awesome headlamp, super bright

Works quite well, bought with the rechargeable battery, battery seems to last a good amount of time on lower setting, don't really need the higher setting for general use. Low setting is plenty bright, it's easy to switch between modes and last mode is remembered when powering off and back on. Feels like a quality item, has a little heft to it. Band feels solid, too, like it will last. Seems a little pricey, but for the quality, it's worth it.
