Why We Like The Storm 500-R Headlamp
Black Diamond is enhancing its Storm headlamp lineup with the new R-Series lamps. This particular Storm 500-R Headlamp is a high-lumen and multi-mode lamp that gives us the power to fully illuminate our nights with nine different lighting modes and the potential for 5H of charge time at the highest setting. We really like that the Repreve headband stops that uncomfortable, hair-pulling sensation we often get with cheaper headlamps.

Bright, light, and easy to use
Love this headlamp. It’s a real step up from others I’ve had in the past. I was weary of going rechargeable vs standard batteries, but so far so good!

Gets the job done.
Easy to use. Practical and useful functions, like red and blue light for illuminating without causing over lighting. Haven’t used it for trail navigation yet, and happy for the helpful brightness I’ve noticed. The usb charging is the reason for choosing this model.

Don’t get this headlamp.
1. The tap feature on the side makes it way harder to keep your settings. If something bumps the headlamp it changes the beam setting. Super annoying. 2. The blinking feature sucks because if you turn your headlamp off and then turn it back on quick it goes into automatic blink mode which takes multiple more buttons to get out of blink mode 3. The dim setting of the white light actually lights up your nose and in the dim light your nose is the brightest thing you see and your eyes never adjusts so that’s annoying. 4. The battery level of the battery is on the bottom of the headlamp and when you turn the headlamp off the battery levels blink right in your eyes so you have to let that stop happening before you can actually try and let your eyes adjust to the now darkness. Possible the most issues I have ever had with a headlamp. Not worth the money.

Best Headlamp ever!!
Say goodbye to batteries or daily recharging. This headlamp's rechargable battery lasts a long time. The different brightness allow for greater flexability and allow for even longer battery life if you so choose. The standard bearer. I am a volunteer fire fighter and I always bring this headlamp to calls. Thank you for making such a dependable, adjustable, rechargeable headlamp!

Amazing performance
Excellent light, i bought two for my wife and I. functions are easy to use, the red/green/blue lights are way brighter than any competing headlamp that I could find in my extensive online research. I'm very happy with the lights and plan on them lasting a very long time.

Nice bright lamp
Its bright, and illuminates for a lot longer than other brand headlamps. I will say its slightly bulkier and heavier than my old Petzl lamp but the battery lasts longer.

Good, lightweight for the size and rechargability
This thing blinded me immediately (no, I didn't purposely mean to look into the light) Has worked great on late night ski tours.
