Of the original 4 I'm down to one still going strong. One one failed while two 'disappeared'. I 'was' a Petzl headlamp person. . . The Zoom (who remembers that battery!), Variations of Tikka's and then moved to DB. Bit make goos stuff but I like dealing with BD when something goes wrong. . . Generally the company, like Patagonia or Nordstroms just make is right. . . So when I had the chance I moved to BD Storms. \n\nThe last iteration I had had 4 AAA batteries and a longer run time but I'd rather save a little weight (over all and bounce) so I'm thrilled with the new current model (8/2025). \n\nI use it for everything; Backpacking, Mountaineering, BC Skiing in a pinch, car repair, and looking under the bed. It's great, love the dimmable red light. Not sure I will use the green or blue but it doesn't add weight so what ever.\n\nI did not want the rechargeable version with the built in batter because I wanted the option to use AAAs. You never know where you will be in the world and you can get AAAs anywhere. AND regardless of how great lithium ion batteries are currently they still die. They all do. ALL OF THEM. . . so wanted the ability to replace the batteries, either with a new lithium ion or AAAs. \n\nA gripe - I would have give 5 stars if the I could charge the rechargeable BD 1500 Lith batteries without the huge bulky charger. Yes that would add bulk, weight and size but if I \"could\" recharge the removable battery with in the unit or directly while outside the unit (think micro or usbc) it would make this set up way more versatile. Charge a battery on the go with a solar panel on you pack, or directly from you power cell. . . or your phone. \n\nAnyways. . . thats my only grip. \n\nAs for brightness, there is no reason you would need more Lumens than this outside of activities where you are moving fast. . . Night Skiing, Night Trail Running, Night Biking. . . If you're just walking. . . this thing is plenty bright. All the little beady eyes out there will still light up 50+ yards away:-)","textLength":2053,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":0,"downVotes":0,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"SGWest","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2025-08-27T00:00:00-04:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Black Diamond","siteUrl":"https://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en_US/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/1638_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"793661-BD620671","title":"Black Diamond Storm 450 Headlamp","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/793661-BD620671","category":"camp-power-supply-lighting-headlamps","reviewCount":192,"ratingCount":192,"averageRating":4.1,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":26,"2":11,"3":4,"4":25,"5":126},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":7248314,"locale":"en_US","rating":1,"title":"Poor quality","text":"Only used the headlamp a few times.
