Best headlamp!
I bought this to check on my chickens, dogs and my garden at night. I’ve never worn a headlamp but it is very helpful. It frees my hands up from having to hold a flashlight. The size is great and not too heavy on my head. The build quality is very good and the lights have different strengths of brightness. The light even tilts so you can look ahead when you walk but also see the ground. I love it so much that I bought my husband one too!

Buy this, and not the recharable or cheap ones…
I bought this because earlier I went with a cheaper and rechargeable set. Those things honestly were crap, and I am on my way to leaving a review on those that say so. This one however, so much brighter, its not heavy at all, and it lasts SO LONG because it is driven by batteries. I would avoid the rechargeable ones and get this guy. Totally worth it.

Great headlamp!
This lamp is very bright and has awesome battery life. I love that there are so many colors and modes. Particularly green as it gives the best visibility while preserving your night vision best. As a service member, I needed a headlamp that would dim green, and when I turn on and off, remember the last settings and remain dim and green. Its the only lamp I’ve found that does that. I have had some issues with the capacitive auto bright feature. I do very much wish that I could disable that. Not only is it not tactical, you risk blowing out your rhodopsin and blinding yourself and everyone around you if you touch the thing in the wrong place. That being said I have had several lamps and this one has the best battery life with options for decently bright and the color green.

Lots of brightness options, good visibility when camping
I love this headlamp. It is really powerful on its highest brightness setting. Just be cautioned that if you leave it on the brightest setting, the battery will drain quicker. That is compounded when the temps are cold. But I think this is something you’ll encounter with many of the headlamps on the market.I have taken this camping in Yellowstone, in my neighborhood, and have also used it to search for bugs or for hunting. It is multi-purposed and has great longevity. Just pack some extra batteries.

Better than the older version Storm — Update: Broken after 3 years
I use headlamps when doing home repairs, not outdoor active pursuits. For my needs, the Storm works great.I bought the 400 to replace a 5-year old Storm. (I think it was the original version with 250 lumen output and white and red lamps–no green or blue. That headlamp was working perfectly until it died of corrosion from leaking Amazon-branded batteries that were nowhere near their expiration date.)My older version had an incessant high-pitched coil-whine when the light was on. This one is silent. It’s much brighter at it’s max setting, as expected. I always had to use my older Storm at the highest setting while I don’t with the new one.The biggest improvement is the second physical button to toggle between the lamp colors. It’s much more intuitive than using multiple taps of the same button to toggle color, brightness, and flashing. I never need anything other than solid white, but I would sometimes inadvertently toggle the red or start the flashing and have a hard time getting it back to white with my older version. This user experience is much better.The one thing that is a step back from the previous version is there is no longer a pad on the inside of the headband where it contacts the forehead. It’s slightly more uncomfortable to wear for a long time and leaves an indentation in the skin from the plastic.Overall, I’m pleased. The build quality of my original Storm was great and would have gone forever if the batteries didn’t kill it. Hopefully this new version will prove just as good over time.UPDATE 11/30/2024:My 3-year old Storm 400, which is used 100% indoors for home repairs and doesn’t even go outside, is no longer usable due to a tiny plastic piece in the casing that broke off. This piece is critical for positioning the headlamp and without it, the lamp flops downward and doesn’t illuminate what is directly in front of you.This is now the third Black Diamond headlamp that I’ve had that has broken and I think it might be time to move on from this company’s products.

Dependable
We own the old model. The added feature of RGB is phenomenal!I can depend on this headlamp, even in a survival class setting.

Really a handy and usable light
Have used this light several times. It is very handy the headband is comfortable and the light is bright. Also like the fact it s dimmable if you don’t need it bright.

もういつ買ったかも忘れるくらい前のペツルが暗いなと思いつつもダマシダマシ使っていましたが、今回思わず衝動買いをしてしまいました。なんで早く買わなかったのかと思うほど良いものでした。

Per un uso pratico e quotidiano questa è un’ottima frontale. Non servono potenze estreme (che non si usano quasi mai). Lèggerà e semplice da usare ma completa con i suoi tre tipi di luce (spot, flood e red).

Ich habe die Black Diamond Storm 400 Aufgrund eines Tests in einem Outdoor Magazin gekauft. Dort wurde sie gut bewertet und ich dachte mir, ich gebe der Lampe bei dem Preis mal eine Chance.Bisher hatte ich eine Mammut Stirnlampe, die mit einem hellen LED Lenser in der Mitte und 2 Flächen Leds aufgewartet hat. Leider ist diese nach nunmehr 10 Jahren nicht mehr wirklich bedienbar…Die Lichtausbeute des kaltweißen Lichts ist zwar nicht so harmonisch wie bei einer warmweißen LED aber dennoch sehr gut und hell. Die kleine kompakte Storm wartet mit den unterschiedlichsten Leuchtmodi auf. Spot, Fläche, Beides gleichzeitig, Rot, Grün, Blau und dann noch für jeden Leuchtmodus einen Blink-Modus und ein SOS Blinken. Durch tippen auf die Seite der Lampe wird sofort auf die hellste Stufe umgeschaltet und ebenso wieder zurück, im Blink-modus wird durch die Berührung zwischen SOS und Dauerblinken umgeschaltet. Die einzelnen Modi kann man an den 2 Tastern ändern, wenn man das System einmal verstanden hat, ist es auch sehr logisch. Der Clou ist, dass man in allen Modi das Licht stufenlos(!) dimmen. Selbst die farbigen LEDs, selbst wenn sie im Blinkmodus sind. Das dimmen erfolgt dann in einer Art Schleife, man hält den Haupt-Taster gedrückt und das dimmen beginnt, ist man an der niedrigsten Stufe angelangt, blinkt die Lampe 2mal kurz und unauffällig, drückt man weiter wird das Licht wieder heller, ist die hellste Stufe erreicht blinkt es wieder 2mal kurz. Hat man die gewünschte Dimmstufe erlangt lässt man einfach los.Die Lampe merkt sich das zuletzt verwendete Licht, Dimmstufe und z.B. das Blinken und wählt genau dieses aus wenn sie wieder eingeschaltet wird. Alleine das ist genial! Hier hat Black Diamond wirklich mitgedacht. Welche Stirnlampe kann das schon. Zu guter Letzt gibt es eine Batterieanzeige in Form von 3 kleinen blauen LEDs. Grandios, was will man mehr. Als Stromzufuhr dienen 4 AAA Batterien und kein fester, aufladbarer Akku – der nützt einem nämlich nichts, wenn man unterwegs ist und keine Möglichkeit zum Aufladen hat. Dann doch lieber einen Satz Ersatzbatterien oder AAA-Akkus im Gepäck und man hat seine Ruhe und ist ohne Wartezeit wieder am Start.Das Tragegefühl ist sehr angenehm, auch wenn ich das Gefühl habe dass die Lampe doch etwas schwer ist und manchmal tiefer in die Stirn rutschen will. Hier hätte ein Gegengewicht in Form eines Batteriefachs auf der Rückseite geholfen. Zudem man auf so einem rückwärtigen Fach auch noch ein rotes Rücklicht hätte einbauen können – alleine aus Sicherheitsgründen hätte das Sinn gemacht. Die Größenverstellung ist etwas leichtgängig, so dass man hin und wieder etwas justieren muss.Wirklich eine sehr gute Stirnlampe – Absolute Kaufempfehlung! Vor allem für den Preis. Ich hoffe sie hält ganz lange und bringt mir viel Licht auf meinen Wegen 😉
