Nice redesign...
Love the new easy-to-distinguish top buttons and the smooth light angle adjustment. My older Spot 350 has more flush buttons that are hard to differentiate, especially while wearing gloves and the "clicky" angle adjustment was a bit annoying.

Best headlamp I've ever had
This headlamp is fantastic and I've had quite a few. I just graduated from a non-rechargeable 400 spot which I thought was great to this rechargeable version. I have taken it on a seven day backpack and had plenty of power left over. Features that I love are if I were to bring a power bank, I could charge it up without bringing an extra set of batteries. Effective elastic strap. Spotlight or close light and I actually do use the red light so I don't destroy my night vision or wake everyone else up in the tent. Easy access buttons and a super bright tap on the side. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone. Thanks, black diamond for another quality product!

super bright
Wow..this thing is super bright! I really like the ability to ramp up/down the brightness & the ease of changing between your lights depending on the situation. My hubby appreciated the 'red' light when I was using it in the tent. Also liking the ability for a 'lock out' so that it doesn't accidentally get turned on in my backpack. Solid headlamp thus far.

awesome headlamp
light and works really well, it's a little too easy to accidentally press the button on the side that changes from dimmest to brightest mode but other than that its perfect!

Perfect for night work
I wear this lamp every night for weeks. The controls are intuitive and easy. Charging is great and the battery life is long. It's a very simple lamp that doesn't bugger up your pocket during the day and hangs lightly around your next at night. Recommend to all my coworkers and also to friends that spend time outside at night.

so many settings!
I replaced my existing headlamp (it was pretty cheap) with this one. The existing one only had 1 brightness and 1 color light so it was pretty blinding at night backpacking. Tested the Spot 400 at home and it was so much better! I could dim the lighting to adjust to the brightness of the room and use the red light at night. Also love that it's rechargeable so I don't always worry about swapping batteries in the middle of the trail!

Very lightweight and is extremely bright for those hikes that start before dawn the rechargeable version is lighter than the disposable batteries

Solid headlamps for dark walks
Solid headlamps for dark walks or trail runs with the dogs. Haven’t had a chance to use them for camping but given how bright, lightweight and with a small profile; they will be a welcome addition to my gear.
