Great headlamp
I’ve had many Black Diamond headlamps over the years and they have all performed well. I like the extra water resistance and brightness of the Storm 450 compared to the Spot series for a small weight and size penalty. Great combination of feature for those pre Dawn adventures.
Very bright
I've used this headlamp several times to get into the duck blind, and out. The light intensity can be adjusted for what you need at the time. It's very easy to get it to high beam with one touch. The ability to choose between red light and green light help with eye adjustment in early mornings.
Excellent light
This headlamp is extremely bright for it's size. Highly recommend!
Great headlamp overall
I really like the small compact form factor of the headlamp. I like the high-low beam option on the side of the headlamp just by touching the side. I've used this headlamp for a few years now for hunting, and performed well. The only cons/dislikes I have is 1: battery compartment is hard to open when your hands are cold. , 2: not having a case or an option for a case pitches, so your lens does not get scratched or roughed up when packing away in a pouch, backpack, or pocket. Would really like to see the case option for the headlamps
Let there be light
Very nice and very practical headlamp I ever had. Highly recommend Black diamond Storm 450
Fragile battery compartment clasp
On the third of fourth battery change, the small clasp on the battery compartment broke. Performed well for its short life, but is now un-fixable and unusable.
Great Headlamp
The lamp is exactly as described. Perfect for my winter Alaskan hikes and summer nighttime camping
Perfect for Stormy Nights
I use this headlamp all the time. It’s wide lens is perfect for climbing. The spot is perfect for hiking and running. Red for stargazing and other low light activities. Being able to switch between AAA and lithium ion batteries makes this a versatile beast. Hope this helps you through your next storm.
Best headlamp!
When it comes to headlamps, Black Diamond is the best, and the Storm 450 is the best of the best. I have a Black Diamond Cosmos headlamp which is great---so great that I then got a Black Diamond Spot 400 which is even better. So when the Storm 450 was on sale, I figured it was time to go for even better. Having great lighting on the trail and around the campsite is very important to me since I do a lot of solo backpacking. The Storm 450 provides the best lighting I've enjoyed so far. The dual power source (alkaline batteries or the rechargeable lithium battery) on both the Spot 400 and the Storm 450 is an excellent feature too. The only advantage I see of the Spot 400 is that it weighs about a half ounce less on my scale than the Storm 450. That might be important to someone counting every gram.
Solid Illumination
When running sweeps on patrol this little darling lights my way
