Black Diamond Head Lamps
A few weeks ago, I was admiring the new Black Diamond Head
Lamps at REI. I especially took note of the extra 75 Lumens that these new
lamps had over my two existing Black Diamond head lamps. I made a mental to
pick one up soon.
Later this year, I have several night trail races on my
calendar. My two head lamps have served me well in the past, but there is no such
thing as having too much light during a night trail race.
Today, I was back in REI for something else, and I circled
by the Black Diamond lamps to admire them a bit more. The first thing I noticed
when I walked up to their display, they were having a 25% off on these head
lamps.
I couldn’t resist and it fell right in my price point.
When I got home, I tried it. I don’t remember the weight of
my existing lamps, but this new one is definitely a bit heavier. I suspect most
of it is from the extra AAA battery. My older lamps use 3 while this new one uses
4 batteries.
Next step, I want to do a test run with it. Nothing long but
just enough of a run to get a sense of how this new lamp sets on my head while
running.
Look for me to share an update on my experience.
