Why We Like The Black Diamond Astro 300 Headlamp
With a lineup as versatile as Black Diamond's, it's no surprise they'd design a headlamp that plays in as many sports as we do. The Astro 300 Headlamp is a simple, lightweight, and ultra-versatile light source for early-morning tours, late-night climbs, and every camping trip in between. Three brightness settings allow us to limit sight damage or maximize visibility for the adventure ahead.

Sweet little headlamp. Not the
Sweet little headlamp. Not the brightest but certainly good enough for my 12 year old. Price was great too as my kiddo is prone to losing things.

Great little headlamps
Bought three for the grandkids. They just used them daily at summer camp. Easy to use for kids age 6 and up, simple controls. Very bright but easy to dim for use in the tent or to save the battery. As inexpensive as these are they are so much better than the best headlamps available a generation ago.

The design of the Astro
The design of the Astro is really nice and the different settings are very fun to switch through. The weight is really good and the band is able to tighten enough that it doesn't move around on my head when I run.

Just the basics
A lamp that any neophyte could operate. It’s my second. Paired with the rechargeable fuel cell, it’s a win. I just wish it had a red light option, a nice addition for those of us who prefer to wake up to a less intense beam.

Light weight, Simple.
I was looking for a light and simple product and I just thought that it was appropriate.There is one button, and the adjustment of the headband size is intuitive. In particular, I like that the headband is detachable and washable.
