very disappointed good for flashlights and reflectors

I bought this headlamp for a week long camping trip. Needless to say I was left in the dark! I spent a little more than usual because I relied on Black Diamond's excellent reputation. Boy was I wrong! The "rechargeable" batteries don't hold a charge and the bulb itself isn't even that bright. I emailed Black Diamond 2 weeks ago and still haven't gotten a reply. Spring . live and learn.

Pros
  • great construction
Cons
  • hard to tell

FAILED TWICE at low temperatures!

I replaced the batteries with lithium batteries as they work better and last longer in cold temperatures. Tested and re-tested at home, works great. Went to a snow camp for a lesson. We had to go to the camp after dark in a snowstorm. The white light didn't work. I managed to get only the red light to work. Came home and worked fine. Went on another trip, temperature 35 ° at night. Again the white light didn't work, only the red. Waste of money.grrrr!

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • High price

A far cry from my current Blackdiamond headlamp.

I only had problems with the headlamp and the batteries that came with it. The lithium batteries either didn't charge or didn't hold a charge very long (it was a combination of both that I was able to get the headset to charge correctly). I had constant flickering of the LEDs and the output wasn't as bright as my current Blackdiamond headlamp, even when using regular AAA batteries. I may have received a bad block, but unfortunately I had to return this product. I still love my current…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Short manual

Fara works great. There are not many batteries.

I bought this headlamp in June 2018, I have used it 5 times in total (3 of them to work on my truck at night). I charged it for a hike this weekend and the charge light is flashing red indicating a bad battery or a problem with the batteries. Tried replacing the batteries but the red light is still on. Unfortunately, I'm not happy about the headlamp having to replace batteries so early in the game. I'll be using regular AAAs this weekend, but I need to find rechargeable batteries to replace the

Pros
  • While satisfied
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

inferior quality. From "Hero to Zero " in just 6 months

Used about once a week and worked very well for about 6 months, bright light and comfortable oh. Stop loading! So, took out batteries, even tried standard AAA batteries, still doesn't work. Noticed the loose middle battery and found that the middle battery had no electrical contact but moved freely between the contacts on each end. There is no spring tension. I bent the spring (-) and the light didn't work for long, then it was too loose again. The spring contact metal is soft and will not hold

  • Absolute legend

Very unreliable. Observed the failure of 4 units.

I bought one of these and was immediately so happy that there is a compact and rechargeable headlamp. I had three in total. The first woke up after a few months of casual use. The second was bad upon arrival and the third could finally live to be a year old with occasional use. I replaced one under warranty and saw it break again after a few months. I've kept them dry for the most part and they haven't been beaten up, but for some reason they all go bad pretty quickly and just stop working and…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Negative impression

The best headlight I've ever had.

This headlight has convinced me. I've had a lot of headlights over the past few years, they always fail or have some sort of problem like flickering or low light or just not working. The Black Diamond ReVolt suffers from none of these shortcomings. I took it on a recent hike and my friends and I compared the light. They both also had Black Diamond bulbs, but this was the brightest of the three. Ambient lighting is very handy for finding things in storage, as it's not as noticeable to others and

Pros
  • Easy assembly
Cons
  • Piggy bank price

Ideal headlamp for everyday use and long journeys

This headlamp is conveniently charged via Micro-USB and also runs on AAA batteries - the perfect combination that makes it useful for everyday use ( where there are chargers) and for long journeys (when it makes more sense to take several batteries with you). It comes with a set of batteries but as mentioned other batteries (eneloop etc.) can be charged in the unit by removing part of the plastic sleeve to match the OEM batteries. In terms of light and control, in "normal" mode the headlamp…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Good products but a bit misleading

Great headlight but I was disappointed with the claim that it's rechargeable. This flashlight charges like any other flashlight or device if you have rechargeable AAA batteries installed or used. The only benefit of a rechargeable headlight is that you can charge AAA batteries with the headlight itself, rather than using an external charger. Another downside, not listed in the description, is that this light only emits its maximum lumens on regular non-rechargeable AAA batteries. This is due to

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Problems
