Why We Like The Storm 500-R Headlamp
Black Diamond is enhancing its Storm headlamp lineup with the new R-Series lamps. This particular Storm 500-R Headlamp is a high-lumen and multi-mode lamp that gives us the power to fully illuminate our nights with nine different lighting modes and the potential for 5H of charge time at the highest setting. We really like that the Repreve headband stops that uncomfortable, hair-pulling sensation we often get with cheaper headlamps.

Only one for me
Comfort, battery life and touch sensitive brightness. I have two and use them all the time, for camping, climbing at night, mechanic work and just about everything I do after hours

Incredible lighting with robust housing
Purchased this headlamp for missions where weight matters, but so does lumens. I've found it to be way more light than anticipated. . . welcomed oversight! The headlamp housing is durable and robust, and performed phenomenal in a late afternoon downpour. The buttons are easy to find and operate without removing the headlamp. Recommend!

Mountaineering headlamp
I used this headlamp for my hike up Mt. Hood and this headlamp held up perfectly with plenty of charge left. The freezing cold temperature didn't bother it.

Best!!
Having a headlamp with a rechargable battery is great! The illumination from the lamps are great the different modes make it multipurpose and the increased dust and waterproofing from a sealed compartment let me have peace of mind even in inclement weather.

Didn't last more than 3 months
The worst headlamp I ever bought. The battery doesn't last nearly as long as advertised and I only use it for a maximum of 15 minutes on beacon mode or whatever it is called when it flashes. most likely a defect but horrible first impression.

Tradesman's review
This is the best headlamp I have ever used! The rechargeable battery lasts all day on the construction site, is compact and has a variety of settings. Other headlamps only claim to last all day. I use the red light feature to read a book on a plane, at night, and don't want to disturb the sleep of fellow passengers.

Lighter, more comfortable, and rechargeable
I had the original storm for many years, and upgraded to this rechargeable version recently. So far I’m finding that it’s lighter, more comfortable, and I love the fact that it’s rechargeable.

I have only used this headlamp once, but it is bright and rechargeable; everything I was looking for.
