Why We Like The Black Diamond Deploy Run Headlamp
When we rise before the sun to get in our miles before the heat, we cinch on the Black Diamond Deploy Run Headlamp to illuminate our path. The light's padded backing and flexible wings boost comfort, improve fit, and prevent bouncing for a set-it-and-forget-it wear. When the trail steepens, we adjust the beam's angle to always know what's coming, and when the sun greets us at the summit, we slip this minimalist torch into our pocket for the strides back home.

Trail Tested - Review
The Deploy headlamp from Black Diamond has become a staple in my running gear. I’ve used it for countless early morning runs—both on roads and trails—and it never disappoints. The adjustable brightness and light angles provide more than enough options, whether I’m navigating uneven terrain or cruising through low-light streets. What stands out most is how lightweight and comfortable it is. Once it's on, I honestly forget it’s even there. It fits perfectly under a hat, stays secure without bouncing, and the foam padding adds a nice touch of comfort. When the sun comes up, it’s small and slim enough to stash away easily in a pocket or vest. I also rely on the Deploy as a backup during ultra-trail events or as my primary until I reach my main lighting system. The quick USB-C charging is super convenient and means it’s always ready to go. This is another awesome product from BD—compact, powerful, and thoughtfully designed. Highly recommend!

Cheap garbage
Light started failing after 5 months. Loses charge in as little as 15 minutes. Reached out to warranty department. Send a video, they said. A 15 minute video of the light slowly dimming? Seriously? Yep, seriously. They were rigid. No video, no warranty. Garbage company. Garbage product.
