Black Diamond Spot 400-R Hoofdlamp

Dual fuel, brighg enough for Alpine climbing. Good value.

I accidentally put an older version of the spot headlamp in the washing machine with a load of laundry and it came out working. Amazing.

Battery drain. Known issue. Instructions say to remove batteries between use.

I have generally trusted Black Diamond, but this was less powerful than expected, PLUS it only lasted for a year and a half. I barely used. I went to replace the batteries and though there was no sign of physical damage and the battery compartment looked fine, it won't turn on. I tried other new batteries, but nothing. Disappointing.

Frustratingly hard to open the battery hatch. Once installed, it throws out a helluva bright light with several options. Fit my head right out of the box. Very good buy at 25% off.
