Overview
Black Diamond builds this headlamp around a bright LED, a tap-to-adjust housing and colored night-vision modes, sealed against rain, snow and dust. It runs on AAA batteries or an optional rechargeable pack.
Waterproofing, high output and dual power make it dependable for alpine starts and stormy nights. Running rechargeable means buying the pack separately.

Performance notes
Runtime depends on brightness level and battery type, and the battery meter helps track what remains. Colored night modes preserve night vision for map reading and camp tasks. Full sealing blocks water from the battery compartment in heavy rain.
