Why We Like The Spot 400-R Headlamp

Whether we are hiking, camping, skiing, snowboarding, or climbing we make sure to add the Black Diamond Spot 400-R Headlamp to our preparation checklist. The digital lock function prevents the battery from draining while we go about our business in the daylight so that we can rest easy knowing we will have up to 450 lumens to work with as the twilight hours descend.

Great Headlamp

I've been using BD headlamps for 20 years, and the line keeps improving every year. Grabbed the Spot 400-R to keep at my cabin so I don't have to remember to bring the one I use for the backcountry every time I head north. Bonus: it's rechargeable, so I don't need to remember batteries, either.

awesome light, band improvement?

Awesome light, wondering about black diamond design choices. For all of your headbands, one of the plastic buckle is facing the inside, from everyone who I’ve seen use it. It is an uncomfortable piece of technology. Therefore, was wondering what was the thought behind this. As somebody has used your products over a dozen years, wanted to ask about this design choice. Sincerely a customer who just replaced his faithful headlamp.

Good headlamp - poor product color

This lights functionality is great. Buttons work well and all settings perform as expected. The color of the product I purchased was listed as bordeaux and the accompanying pictures showed a dark scarlet or marroon case and band. The color of the bordeaux case and band in real life is much closer to milk chocolate. There is very little red.

Small, bright, simple

It makes light. It's rechargeable. It's not trying to do anything else. Lives inside my pack all the time, comes out for walking the dog at night.

Please update to USB-C

This is a great all-around little headlamp for most backcountry purposes. I've used it since it first came out on backpacking trips. I enjoy the light modes and separate button to switch between lights. The door on the charging outlet is a little cheap looking/feeling, and I really wish BD would update it to USB-C like everything else has now. Really tired of needing different cables/connectors for everything. Other than that it's been good.
