BLACK DIAMONDBLACK DIAMOND Storm 500-R Rechargeable LED Headlamp, Waterproof and Dimmable for Camping, Hiking, Running, Hunting, Work with Red Light Headlamp Mode, Azul

outstanding device with long battery life and a lot of different light intensity/color options. if i had to complain about anything, i wish it had a USB-C charge port instead of Micro-USB.

Great brand and long lasting battery life. Lightweight and fairly water resistant, and nice variety of light settings

My previous Black Diamond light was the Revolt model and it worked flawlessly for years, unfortunately I lost it during a move and went right back to Black Diamond for their latest model. Great light for hunting or any closeup work that you need a Bright, long lasting light.

The controls are easy to use. I really like the fact it 'remembers' it's last setting. Extremely bright. Charging was fast.

I really like this headlamp. The battery life is great. The way you adjust the brightness is great. Hold the right button down and it gets brighter until it flashes, that means it's at its brightest, hold it again and it dims until it flashes, now it's at its dimmest. That works on all 3 modes, spot, flood and color led. Red, blue and green leds are a pretty cool feature, although I can't think of a reason for using blue and green, I still like having them. Even the band is pretty decent. The one thing I don't like, I really don't like. There's a feature that lets you swipe from back to front on the ride side of the lamp to insanely turn the brightness on full. Whoever came up with this idea has probably never worn a headlamp for more than a few minutes. In the 2 weeks I've owned this lamp I've used that feature 1 time, however, I've accidentally used it and blinded myself about a hundred times. Every time I adjust it, I accidentally turn it on and fry my retinas. Unfortunately there's no way to turn this feature off. I'm sure in certain situations this feature would come in handy, not for me though.

Solid headlamp. Have had several black diamond headlamps however the latch for the battery compartment breaks after much use. A rechargeable unit eliminates this problem. Easy to use weatherproof, very bright.

Easy to use, comfortable and also rechargeable

According to the specs this has a 2,400mah battery. If we generously assume they're using top-of-the-line LED tech, you can produce about 100 lumens per watt. So at 2.4AH * 3.7v for a lithum battery, their battery can theoretically store ~9wh of energy, slightly less than an iPhone battery. The theoretical maximum amount of light that can produce is 500lm for ~2hr, or 300lm ~3hr, or 100lm for ~9hr, etc.Take Petzl's Actik Core light for example, which has a similar battery and package size to the Storm 500-R: 600lm for 2hr, 100lm for 7hr, 7lm for 100hr, seems very reasonable.There is no way black diamond can >3x these specs in the same overall volume and weight, it's not physically possible with battery tech today.And yet... on the 500-R box Black Diamond somehow claims theirs can do 500lm for 7h, 250lm for 19hr, or 6lm for 350h, which would require a battery >21wh, impossible to fit into a headlamp that size. The "ANSI burn time" spec supposedly measures the burn time until 10% of initial output, so they only way they can achieve these numbers is if they *rapidly* drop the brightness from the initial e.g. 250lm down to like 50lm for the majority of the runtime.Don't support products that blatantly mislead consumers with bogus specifications. The fact that Black Diamond chose to mislead people this much on a headlight makes me question their integrity and think twice about buying climbing gear or anything else safety-critical from them, I cannot fathom why an otherwise reputable company would burn their brand like this.To top it all off, when I bought this light I played around with it for like 20min and the electronics promptly failed. It got stuck showing one battery status light and became entirely unresponsive (and it wasn't in locked mode or any other mode). I had to wait a week for the battery to die before it seemingly rebooted and started responding to button presses again. The charging port flap is also questionably waterproof, I wouldn't trust it to reliably stay closed on an intense climb or bicycle ride in the rain.

Good

Great light that lasts a long time and is easy to charge

Super bright spot and added area lighting...if desired. Multi-colored secondary light for night/signalling.Easy charging.

Tiene un error que cambia automático cuando se mueve un poquito , cambia las intensidades y modos de luz

Sehr hell, die Bedienung ist durchdacht mit zwei Knöpfen (muss man aber erst mal lernen, die optionen sind vielfach) und die Akkulaufzeit der Hammer.Ich habe auch die Campinglampe von BlackDiamond (Moji+) , welche das gleiche Bedienkonzept hat.Richtig toll finde ich auch, dass sie sich in allen drei Modi die Helligkeitseinstellung merkt. Und falls man mal sehr viel licht braucht, tippt man auf die seite.Hatte inzwischen 5 Headlamps über die letzten 15 Jahre (Petzl und LedLenser) und das ist wirklich bisher die Beste die ich je hatte.Einziges Manko, der Akku ist nicht tauschbar. Falls der Akku irgendwann schlapp macht, muss die ganze Headlamp dran glauben. Jedoch hat ein Freund einen der Vorgänger und wünscht sich inzwischen, seine alte BlackDiamond würde endlich schlapp machen, dass er einen Grund hat, sich die 500er zu holen ;)
