Now running on our new modular bd 1800 rechargeable battery the black diamond revolt 350 is a powerful versatile and rechargeable headlamp that has now been fully redesigned. The black diamond revolt is a fully featured rechargeable headlamp that can also be run using regular lithium ion or alkaline aaa batteries. The revolt wins our top pick award for travel as the best usb rechargeable headlamp for travel and an overall excellent product. Now producing 350 lumens of light we ve also updated the user interface by adding a second switch for easy lens mode selection.

This version has a sleeker housing an ipx8 rating a max of 300 lumens a redesigned opening mechanism and is styled differently. A big improvement to this headlamp is the way the battery compartment opens. The black diamond storm 400 has several settings including three night vision colors. It is our testers favorite black diamond headlamp winner of our editors choice award and a headlamp we would readily recommend to friend.

It took me a while to figure out the settings but once i did the headlamp provides great lighting options. The revolt is a great option for extended trips where you don t want to carry extra batteries as the revolt can charge off just about anything with a usb adapter. It s a major update to the very popular 2015 version. The black diamond storm is a robust and full featured headlamp that offers a bright and wide beam a fully waterproof enclosure and excellent optics for both close proximity flood and long distance spot lighting.

Lighter brighter and smaller than its predecessor the black diamond revolt 350 headlamp casts up to 350 lumens with its modular 1800mah rechargeable battery or standard aaa batteries not included. All in all it s a much better headlamp and you should make sure you re grabbing the. A solar panel. While it does not stand out for any one attribute it is a solid performer all around.

Black diamond comes close to eliminating the gap with the revolt a powerful light that packs serious battery life 200 hours on low or 4 hours on high into a medium sized package. During a nighttime run on boulder s lion s lair trail the revolt s 350 lumen spotlight was powerful enough for our tester to spot icy patches 150 feet.
