Black Diamond Spot 325 Headlamp, Dark Olive, One Size
January 11, 2020 - Comment
The award-winning Spot 325 Headlamp is back, redesigned with a lower, lighter, and even brighter profile. Black Diamond updated the user interface to include a second switch for fuss-free lens mode selection, which allows you to switch easily between proximity and distance lighting, or change to strobe or red night-vision. Peripheral lighting comes in handy for close-range activities at camp, and if you turn the headlamp off at any point, Brightness Memory keeps track of your last used setting so you don’t have to fiddle with the headlamp each time.

The King of Headlaps This is my third headlamp purchase and by far my best. It’s lightweight, it fits comfortably, and wow is it BRIGHT! Note to users: it’s not intended for full-intensity running for long stretches. it will last a while at 325 (maximum), but save that for when you need it! The lower settings and optional lamps do the trick for 80-90% of your trekking and uses far less power doing so. But that’s just common sense, right? A bit confused by reviewers assuming running at maximum power this would last…
Burn time ten times less than advertised. We’ve lived off-grid for the past two decades and have used a dozen or so different headlamps for our evenings and nights over the years. We purchased two of these last week at a local outdoor store based solely on the package (and insert) claim of a 65 hour burn time at maximum brightness (325 lumens). Interestingly, on the Black Diamond website, the burn time for the Spot325 is listed as only 4 hours on maximum. If we’d had that information, we’d never have purchased these, as we rely on them…
