Black Diamond Storm 450 Headlamp

This headlamp provides a wide range of versatility with a spot beam and flood beam that have adjustable intensity (battery saver!) for any situation. It also has red, green, and blue lights and a locking feature so it doesn't turn on accidentally in your bag. It's small and light weight and you can use alkaline or a rechargeable battery cell. It's also waterproof! I've used this model for years and it's all I need. I just bought the newest version for me and my wife for backpacking trips and we love them.

Functions well. Bright light. Easy to use. Only issue is the BD 1500 battery doesn’t sit inside perfectly and the door doesn’t completely close when the BD 1500 battery is used. The light works fine but I’m guessing there will be issues with waterproofing now.

I own 3 of these headlamps! I keep one in my hunting pack, truck and boat bag. That way I never forget one! Its just an all around great headlamp!

BEST HEADLAMP ON THE MARKET. Fantastic product. I've been the die hard who has been holding out on switching to Rechargeable battery systems. This one is top notch and I should have transitioned a long time ago. Eliminates the problems with regular battery corrosion and the battery life of these little packs is really amazing. Fantastic product. And for the price, you can easily justify carrying an extra one for those long multiple night hauls ! Headlamp functions are really simple to use and shockingly bright. Easy to pack and will take a ravishing amount of punishment.

I’ve always been a bit of a flashlight guy. As a kid I cost my dad a small fortune in D cells running down his baseball bat sized Maglite. I’ve been through more headlamps than I can count over the years. I picked up this particular one a few months ago and I have to say it has been by far the best headlamp I’ve ever had. The door fuel capability comes in handy, and the functions on this light are super useful and navigable. It’s great to having the brightness memory as well as the powertap feature to be able to instantly switch to max and back. One feature that stands out is the way each mode dims/brightens. I haven’t seen that on a light before. It also seems a lot brighter than 450 lumens at max. If you’re looking for a good reliable headlamp I truly don’t think in any way you could go wrong with these. Hope this helps

The new Storm 450 is a really nice headlamp! I had to purchase this one to replace my Storm 400 that has a broken latch (no replacement part available). I hope the latch on this one lasts!

The Storm 450 is another great, lightweight, intuitive, inexpensive headlamp from BD. I've relied on them for years and find all of their headlamps to be the best!

We use this lamp daily for performing chores on our farm. In addition we use it for hunting and as a “bright” light when doing equipment maintenance.
