Icon 700 Headlamp

The Icon Headlamp is Black Diamond's most powerful and reliable option designed with multi-day backcountry hut trips and linking summits in mind. It brightens up skin tracks and rocky peaks with 700 lumens that you can adjust via Black Diamond's innovative PowerTap technology, and Brightness Memory remembers how bright you had it the last time you turned it on. Apart from its dimmable white light, the Icon also has red, blue, and green lighting to satisfy the spectrum of night vision needs. The battery pack is removable if you don't like it on the back of your head, and Black Diamond included a longer cord and waist band for versatile mounting capabilities.

Best head lamp

This is the best headline I’ve ever had. That works great batteries last long

The best ever !

I have owned many head lamps and am blown away by the Black Diamond 700. The sophisticated light switches are incredibly useful and easy-to-use. I'll never go hunting or camping without it.

Hard-working headlamp

This is the second iteration of this lamp that I have owned and used. I put the Icon to work trail running, cross country skiing, mountain climbing, and camping too. It is super bright when I need it to be. I can change the colors or brightness when I need to. I can make the batteries last forever. It fits nicely on my helmet, but I can wear it comfortably on my head. This new version has an extension cable so that I can drop the battery pack into a pocket. This will be handy on Aconcagua this December.

A little disappointed.

I used to work with sea turtles in Costa Rica. I bought it for the red, blue and green lights for my work. From the beginning I had problems because the lights didn't work well. When I used blue or green light, they changed themselves or they didn't work at all. I stopped using the Icon700 because one of the wires broke, like old plastic, maybe it didn't have 100h of use. I always thought it was a very good headlamp, powerful, good light... but the lights and the quality of the plastic disappointed me.

Helmet Headlamp

Great headlamp. With the extra weight on the back, using it on a helmet is the best option. Overall balanced but heavy and bulky for daily use. Extremely bright and good User interface.

Best headlamp on the market

Fantastic piece of hardware, as with all black diamond equipment built to withstand the harshest conditions. Love having a choice of multiple low light colors, sometimes the red is just not quite enough so having blue or green is great. Would recommend this product to any one! Thanks BD

I feel like a shark with a freaking laser beam on my head

I live in Alaska and this winter was particularly brutal and cold. I used to be locked in watching Netflix and drinking all winter… and then I bought this light. I found all the loose change in my couch with this new found light source. I could afford xc ski’s with the change. Using my skis and becoming more active I gave up drinking and started geocaching. I have seen so many parts of my hometown with a new light, pun intended. It has allowed me to romanticize and fall back in love with the outdoors instead of netflix and chillin’. But now that it’s summer and sunny all the time it also works as a bottle opener to crush some frosty boys on an evening walk. Still a great investment. I am no longer afraid of the dark or winter.

Very cool

The new features and increased output make this a nice update to the icons I have used in the past

Turns off when shaken

This headlamp has a tendency to turn off whenever you jump or hit a bump while skiing. The issue seems to be loss connections b/t the AA batteries and the terminal at the top of the battery pack. If you shake it, you can hear a little wiggle in there, as if it all needs to be tightened up a bit. For a year or so, the problem was manageable by pushing the battery pack cap in tight and restarting. Then the battery pack unit started to develop small cracks in it (cheap plastic) which made the problem much worse. Overall, this productive is illustrative of the multiple troubles I've had over the years with BD lighting. Better to look to Petzl for lighting stuff.

Icon 700

I bought one headlamp and the rechargeable pack as a gift for a friend who helped me out a lot after my wife died. I haven’t gotten it to him yet but if I get any feedback, I’d be happy to share it. I used mine the other night under my Seattle sombrero blowing snow during our blizzard here in Madison WI. It worked well, It was comfortable and I could get my hat over it, which was a bonus, considering the conditions. It’s a nice piece of equipment.
