Why We Like The Storm 450 Headlamp

Whether we are making a camp meal after dark or we need light to get back to the trailhead from the backcountry, we know we can trust the Black Diamond Storm 450 Headlamp. This compact headlamp can use either 3 AAA batteries or the BD 1500 Li-ION battery to power a bright LED bulb that can shine a bright light all over the trail or a small red light that doesn’t blind our camping partners. This versatile and reliable functionality means there is always a spot in our pack for the Storm 450.

Love this Headlamp ❤️‍🔥

I’ve always been a bit of a flashlight guy. As a kid I cost my dad a small fortune in D cells running down his baseball bat sized Maglite. I’ve been through more headlamps than I can count over the years. I picked up this particular one a few months ago and I have to say it has been by far the best headlamp I’ve ever had. The door fuel capability comes in handy, and the functions on this light are super useful and navigable. It’s great to having the brightness memory as well as the powertap feature to be able to instantly switch to max and back. One feature that stands out is the way each mode dims/brightens. I haven’t seen that on a light before. It also seems a lot brighter than 450 lumens at max. If you’re looking for a good reliable headlamp I truly don’t think in any way you could go wrong with these. Hope this helps

Storm 400 Replacement

The new Storm 450 is a really nice headlamp! I had to purchase this one to replace my Storm 400 that has a broken latch (no replacement part available). I hope the latch on this one lasts!

Great Headlamp

The Storm 450 is another great, lightweight, intuitive, inexpensive headlamp from BD. I've relied on them for years and find all of their headlamps to be the best!

Chores

We use this lamp daily for performing chores on our farm. In addition we use it for hunting and as a “bright” light when doing equipment maintenance.

Practical gear

I spend months each year camping in wilderness areas. The Storm 450 is a very practical and easy to use piece of equipment, that just got better with the use of a rechargeable battery. Wouldn't want to be in the woods without it.

Best headlamp

These black diamond headlamps I feel are the industry standard. This particular one for me is my 5th I owned. My only cation is don’t leave in a cargo pocket when hiking or climbing. I damaged my last that way

Battery latch will break.

Please beware the battery latch will break. Plastic latch is very thin and this headlamp will disappoint. If this review would let me post a picture I would. The Spot 400 is a better choice. Good luck.
