The opinion of Aventure Nordique
The Spot 400 Headlamp from Black Diamond is a headlamp that will satisfy the needs of those who are looking for a compact multi-functional lamp for their outdoor activities. With a maximum power of 400 Lumens and a 2.5 hour runtime, this 78 grams lamp (including batteries) will adapt to your needs depending on the activity you practice. It is possible to power this lamp thanks to 3 AAA batteries included or to couple it with the rechargeable battery BD 1500 (sold separately) which will boost even more the autonomy of the lighting.
It is equipped with a gradual power dimmer and an instant full power button (PowerTap) that will allow you to go directly from your cruising intensity to the maximum power in a simple gesture. You can use this headlamp to store your gear and cook at your bivouac site without dazzling your neighbors, as well as to open up the road for up to 100 meters thanks to the proximity or long range modes.
This headlamp is equipped with a red LED night vision mode that you can activate directly without going through the white mode. Thanks to the intensity memory, you will be able to turn the device on and off while keeping your setting.
One of the big advantages of this device is its weather resistance and waterproofing. It has been tested to withstand aquatic submersion to a maximum depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes.
