Once the lights are plugged on they turn on. Features/Specifications: This is surplus item. The only complaint I have is that when trying to change the batteries this thing is impossible to open.Untitled Document. To be honest I really dig the light and have been pleased with it for the most part. In fact very few lights produced these days use bulbs other than LEDs, not only due the increased illumination but also due to the decreased power usage (increase burn time), lack of heat emission, and compact size. The light emitted is a bright white from the LEDs, I actually prefer this type of light as opposed to what folks refer to as natural light which tends to be a bit yellow and does not seem to light up an area quite as well. To run through the functionality is fairly simple but the key that BD includes make it helpful for the uninitiated.Īs you can see from this guide there is also the ability for you to lock the headlamp in the off position so as to avoid inadvertent battery discharge by accidentally turning the light on in your pack. Wearing the headlamp you can feel the weight of this thing, especially if you are used to more classic headlamps that tend to weigh between 1-3 ounces this one comes in at almost 4 ounces without the 4 batteries. The headband is the same as other headlamps being easy to use and has enough expansion to allow fitting on a climbing helmet, however for some reason the elasticity can stretch out rather quickly so I really wish someone would figure out a better system. One thing with this regulation is that you still need to keep in mind that while the batteries will show "green" inside a warm house, on the cold trail that can quickly change with temperature change. I am one of those that constantly carries extra batteries and more than likely recharging or tossing batteries before they have been fully depleted so knowing the expected life was pretty neat. Green – more than 75% – this is a very important information since, in this headlamp, it means also the time during which the light is regulated. On the right side of the case (as worn) there is a battery meter which breaks down the expected life of the batteries inside: Pretty cut and dry as far as battery compartments go, I mean come on how exciting can this really be? Upon opening the casing I was surprised at the simplicity of the stacked chamber where the 4 AAA batteries power the beast. The screw holding the backing on and helping ensure it stays functional should it be submerged (1 meter only) was a bit small and I have to say I am a bit concerned I will break it eventually. When I got the BD Storm I looked at it and thought cool, heavy but cool. Little did I know that the technology is what makes the difference. I want to put the batteries in and see what happens. I am not a tech guy dissecting electronics to see the wizardry and fandangling that goes into it, rather I enjoy playing with stuff. IPX Rating : 7 (Protection against immersion in water – immersion to the depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes).įinding a good headlamp is one of the more important and at least to me the most exciting gear purchases. Weight Without Batteries : 110 g (3.9 oz) Max Burn Time*: 200 H (TriplePower LED) 125 H (SinglePower LEDs) Max Distances*: 70 m (TriplePower LED) 25 m (2 SinglePower LEDs) LED Type : 1 TriplePower, 4 SinglePower (2 white, 2 red) First impressions were good but did it hold up for the duration? Read on for the whole story. Black Diamond blinds the competition with their Storm headlamp boasting a whopping 100 lumen output this compact light features an output regulator and a screwback closure to keep this water proof to 1 meter.
