I threw in the new Storm as a \"treat. \" I could not have been more wrong\n\n#1 Issue, when infiltrating or exfiltration from the \"0 line\" batteries are removed from most electronics especially headlamps and flashlights. The perpetual threat of drones means an accidental button push even miles from the front can be spotted so they always take out the batteries. This also causes the lamp to \"forget\" its settings and require several button pushes to \"dial in. \" A 3 way toggle switch on top for right/left/middle for small light/big light/ both would solve this so it saves the setting physically \n\n#2 Issue, power tap is very sensitive and donning a headscarf or simply brushing the lamp in the wrong way suddenly turns on all the lights. This can quickly drain the battery or at worse, give away your location. A lockable physical button on the side would solve this\n\n#3 Proprietary batteries like the integrated Lithium Ion or BD1800 and BD1500 are difficult to charge. Dual fuel solves this but not on the 450\n\nThe good\n\n#1 Durability: The storm can get super dirty. Troops report rolling in mud to hide from drones and knowing their headlamp will work despite caked with filth is reassuring\n\n#2 Low setting: Troops who have been stuck at the 0 line for up to a month have said they can use the lowest setting and haven't had to charge it, can see everything they need to in their dugouts, and don't have to worry about being spotted.

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.
