Black Diamond Gizmo Headlamp
Gets the job done
By Spencer Marr
March 8, 2010
I bought this headlamp along with the Petzl Tikkina 2 and I'll honestly say that I like the Petzl a little better. The Gizmo is smaller in size which I like, but it's not nearly as bright and the batteries don't last as long. It only takes 2 batteries vs. the Petzl's 3 which can be more convenient, lighter, and cheaper when replacing batteries, but the life of the light is much shorter because of this. The strap on this headlamp is a little awkward at first the way it adjusts, but once you get the hang of it, it's really comfortable and easy to adjust. All in all, it's a good headlamp for the price. If I wouldn't have compared it to the Petzl Tikkina 2, I would be completely satisfied with this headlamp.
