Why We Like The Black Diamond Sprinter 500 Headlamp

The Sprinter 500 is Black Diamond's premium headlamp for runners who rack up miles after sunset or before sunrise. With 500 lumens on its brightest setting, it gives us plenty of night vision while the PowerTap technology lets us adjust our brightness setting up or down with simple taps. The single-button interface makes it easy to turn the lamp off and on and switch between six modes, and the digital lockout feature prevents the lamp from accidentally turning on in our pocket or pack. Conveniently, the Sprinter features two power options—it can run off three AAA batteries (sold separately) or the included rechargeable Lithion Ion battery, giving us backup options on long, overnight runs. Light on our heads yet bright on the trail, the Sprinter 500 Headlamp helps us run safely on the road and on the trail.

Replaced My 25 Year Old Black Diamond Headlamp

Finally time to replace my faithful head lamp. The Sprinter provides ample light for early morning walks in the dark. Very comfortable. Easy controls, backlight a plus for street walking!

Sprinter Headlamp

Spent quite a while looking for a new headlamp. This best met my needs. Pros: Bright, Batteries in the back for balance, rechargeable, straight forward operation. Neutral: Switch is large enough for gloves, probably not mittens, miss having focus, would like a little more downward tilt.

Disappointing Performance

The light output is a wide beam, but the distance is minimal. I like to have the ability to see further down a trail not just a few feet in front and to the sides. I found my 5 year old Storm headlight out performed the Sprinter 500.

Great while it works - until it doesnt

Great headlamp, comfy fit on the head, good light and battery life. Sadly, after only 6 months this headtorch is completely dead. Won’t re-charge via usb charger, won’t work with batteries. Not the first time i’ve heard of this happening. :(

Great for Biking and Trail Runs

Fits comfortably with or without a bike helmet, battery has a long life, and it has great visibility. The ability to gradually adjust the brightness is really nice, too.

Great headtorch

Light enough on the head, you don’t feel it. Great for winter running, especially with the red backlight!

Perfect for Runners

Lightweight, long battery life, and fits comfortably on the head without shaking or sliding as you run. Would recommend for any early morning or late night runner who wants to have better visibility.
