The headlamp also has a lock activated by the solo button to prevent being turned on accidentally. On the side of the headlamp, there is a battery gauge to keep it from dying on you at an inopportune time. I haven’t kept a log for power usage, but can say that my light lasts a very long time on 4 AAAs. The light requires 4 AAA batteries and is listed as lasting for 36 hours. I haven’t used the strobe function on this light, other than for testing, but it’s nice to have should it be needed. Just hold down the solo button for a few seconds while in off mode to get red LEDs, then repeat to bring back the white light. You don’t have to cycle though all light modes to get the red lights, which is very nice. I use the red lights the most while doing night photography.
The red LEDs are perfect for preserving night vision while in a tent or star gazing.
This is perfect around the campsite when you need light, but not too much. What is great about this, is you can hold down the solo button to dim the light and then again to bring it back to 160 (range is 25 to 160 lumens). The standard 160 lumen output is my light for primary use. There are three basic modes:ġ.) 2 SinglePower red LEDs output 25 lumens Red LEDsĢ.) 2 SinglePower white LEDs output 25 lumens White LEDsģ.) High-output Quad Power Single LED output up to 160 lumens 160 lumen output All modes can be activated and controlled from a solo button on the top of the lamp.
The functionality of the Black Diamond Storm is great. Support Trail to Peak by purchasing this headlamp on Amazon using the links below: I’ve used this headlamp for a pretty long time now, and in many situations. Last year, I did a little bit of shopping around and found the Black Diamond Storm Headlamp for a pretty good deal at REI.

Well, neither happened, but the headlamp was incredibly useful while rummaging through my gear early in the morning in an albergue full of 100 people! Since then, I’ve had to buy a new headlamp, as I’ve been getting a lot of very early starts for hikes, and also need a solid reliable light source for overnight backing trips. I bought my first headlamp before walking Camino de Santiago, thinking I’d be waking up early to walk, and passing miles by when the sun went down. We also included a lock mode to stop accidental battery drain when the lamp is stored in your pack.A good headlamp is critical for backpacking and hiking, yet a piece of gear that’s easily overlooked. In addition to versatile proximity, distance and strobe modes, the Storm’s 2 red LEDs preserve night vision and activate without cycling through white mode. When you need bright, reliable light in the worst conditions, the fully waterproof Black Diamond Storm offers up 100 lumens of illumination for spotting rap anchors or lighting up the trail. With a full feature set, including dimming, and a weather-resistant housing, the ReVolt is ready for nearly any mission. Distance mode is powered by one TriplePower LED, two SinglePower LEDs power proximity mode and two SinglePower red LEDs power night vision mode. When recharging is not an option, the ReVolt accepts standard alkaline AAA batteries. The 110-lumen ReVolt runs off three Black Diamond NiMH AAA rechargeable batteries and recharges via a USB cable that can be plugged into anything from a computer to a solar charger. The Black Diamond ReVolt marks a paradigm shift for versatility in a rechargeable headlamp, capable of being powered by rechargeable batteries, as well as standard alkaline batteries. The newest Black Diamond headlamps are exactly what you need for your next big adventure!! We have the ReVolt (rechargeable!) and the Storm (100% waterproof) in stock now at Pack & Paddle.
