As you need to hold it down for 5 seconds, it is highly unlikely that it will come on by accident and drain your batteries. The lock feature ensures that your headlamp won’t come on by accident with one unfortunate bump of the button. As that happens, the power switch can be hit which could potentially turn the headlamp on. When your headlamp is in your pack, it can get moved about quite easily. This means you’ve locked the headlamp out of active mode. By that I mean when you hold down the power button, from the headlamp being ‘on’, for 5 seconds, the battery power light, on the bottom of the headlamp, at the top of my finger in the picture below, will flash blue and go off. Let’s look at how it works a bit more below, I’ll try and walk you through how it works.įirst off, the headlamp can be locked. This is a feature I was accustomed to in the my old Black Diamond Spot Headlamp and is something about the headlamp I really like. All of these options are operated using a single power button on the top of the headlamp. The LEDs also have a memory function so it stores the brightness level you were last using. The Storm also features red and green single power LEDs for night vision modes which also have dimming and strobe settings. Starting with a features overview, the Storm comes with 1 Quad Power LED and 1 Double Power white LED which emit up to 250 lumens on max setting. The Storm comes in multiple colors (Aluminium, Olive, Nightshade, Octane and Matte black), I went with the matte black option and it is the one you will see in the photos in this review. That was appealing but from experience, I am never entirely convinced with those kind of promises. The product also offered that the max setting would be maintained for a period of 60 hours at the higher performance levels i.e.
Offering 250 lumens of light in the max setting, I was happy that this would cover most if not all of my hiking needs. I had a good experience with the Black Diamond Spot Headlamp so I thought the Storm would be a good investment. I bought the Black Diamond Storm Headlamp last October in a bit of a rush as my old headlamp had stopped working properly and I needed something for a camping trip I was going on.
