I was surprised to notice that this feature even works through thin gloves, such as liners. It works great, though I did find myself fiddling around looking for the exact spot. It’s called “PowerTap.” Simply touch a factory determined spot on the right side of the headlamp with your finger and the lamp will switch back and forth from bright to dim. The Black Diamond Storm has the ability to switch from full power to any preselected dimmed position with the touch of a finger. And it’s here that one of those new features really comes into play. The two red LEDs are great for night time photography when you don’t want to ruin your night vision, or, perhaps, when you are crammed into an Appalachian Trail community trail hut and don’t want to disturb fellow hikers.Īll three sets of lamps are dimmable, simply by holding down the single button located on top of the lamp. The two small, white LEDs are perfect around camp or in your tent where you don’t need full power. On high power, the Storm really lights up the night. The central spot is used when you need those 160 lumens, such as hiking at night, trying to find that belay point, or like I did, exploring abandoned gold mines in Death Valley National Park. The Storm has three sets of lamps, a main central spot, two small white LEDs, and two small red LEDs. On low power, its output drops to 4 lumens, casting a beam out to three meters (10 feet) and a burn time of 200 hours.
The Storm is rated at a whopping 160 lumens on full power, with the capability to throw a beam 70 meters (230 feet) with a burn time of 70 minutes. At first glance, the Black Diamond Storm headlamp looks pretty much like any other lamp available on the market, but upon further inspection, you’ll notice it has a couple of interesting features not yet available on many other lamps.
