Black Diamond Gizmo Headlamp
The Black Diamond Gizmo Headlamp makes a great backup lighting source for day trips and a main light for backpacking trips when you don't need a big spotlight. The three SuperBright LED bulbs provide usable light up to 14 meters, so you can easily pitch your tent on a pitch black night. The Gizmo Headlamp includes two brightness settings, so you can save battery powder for a 42-hour burn time when you only need close-up lighting. This Black Diamond headlamp weighs only 2oz with batteries and easily fits in your pocket.
Bottom Line: The Black Diamond Gizmo Headlamp—lightweight backcountry lighting.

It's dead-easy to use and very reliable.
Really light, dimmable, tiltable and a real bargain.
What more do you need?!?

I haven't used it yet, but it is really lightweight and bright. I like that it uses plain AAA batteries (and only two of them). I look forward to using it on my next trip to the Sierras.

I have another super bright light I use normally, but really wanted something for reading when camping or just in bed. The least bright setting is fine for reading and doing simple activities at night around the camp. It is light weight, easy to adjust and comfortable on my head. Not ideal for use on a helmet or for fast paced night time activities, but a fine alternative when you don't need an expensive, heavy light weighing your noggin down.

It's light, with 2 power settings. Works great so far, especially for the price.

For the price this receives a 5, but I didn't give it a 5 because there are obviously better headlamps. This one is nice because it runs off of AAA batteries so they are easily replaced, and it seems to last a long time on those. We used these in some old tunnels in the rain forest. They lit up enough to see about 6 feet ahead of you, which was enough to walk, if you want a super bright headlamp don't get this one, if you want a water resistent headlamp at a low price that will be durable while taking adventures, then get this one.

Nice tent light or reading light. It's a cheap headlamp and you get what you pay for in light output. Good construction though.

this is a good light, nothing great, it doesn't put out that much light, but it is good for a backup or emergency light, it is really lightweight, and was pretty cheap, overall just a average headlamp, cheap, but does not put out a lot of light but has 3 different settings

The gizmo is my third headlamp and I am extremely happy with it. It is by far the most comfortable and the weight is great. The amount of light is perfect for trails, or around the campsite. An excellent find.

Let me agree with this first four of the reviews. This is a tough lamp to beat for the price. My first rule of headlamps is no specialty batteries. This achieves that goal with two AAA batteries, also helps keep the weight down. Press and hold on/off switch is a nice touch to prevent accidental turn on while stowing it. I have collection of head lamps, this is one will use most around the campsite. I do not play in the wettest of conditions, not sure how this one would hold up, does not seem to be very water tight. Bet you a nickel it will do just fine in a quick rain storm.

Really sweet lamp, and for the price I was really stoked. It's nothing amazingly fancy, but it works great in all weather. I haven't backpacked with it yet, but the light-weight nature will be great. It works for everything: flashlight in the shed, checking oil and tire pressure in the dark, even doing homework when my roommate is asleep. A great choice for sure.

I'd recommend this headlamp to anyone looking for a simple headlamp for camping etc. It isn't super bright, but for that same reason you aren't changing the battery very often. I also like how it doesn't have straps all over my head and there isn't a bulky battery pack on the back. One button design is nice- no bells and whistles. It gets the job done for a good price.

Perfect emergency headlamp, keeps your pack light, comfortable fit, and it still plenty bright for trekking in the dark.

This lightweight headlamp works great around camp or around the house when you need both hands free. The thick, stretchy headband makes it comfortable to wear. This headlamp has different settings, so it’s perfect for night reading or lighting up things around camp. The LED gives you stellar battery life. You can't beat the price on this headlamp. If you're looking for a simple, inexpensive headlamp - this is your best bet.
