Why We Like The Black Diamond Sprinter 500 Headlamp
The Black Diamond Sprinter 500 Headlamp is our top choice for runners who often find themselves running in the dark. With its impressive 500 lumens on the brightest setting, it provides us with exceptional night vision. What makes it even better is the PowerTap technology, which allows us to easily adjust the brightness level with a simple tap.
This headlamp has a convenient single-button interface that makes it effortless to turn the lamp on and off, as well as switch between the six available modes. Another useful feature is the digital lockout, which prevents the lamp from accidentally turning on while stored in our pocket or backpack.
The Sprinter 500 also offers versatility with its two power options. We can choose to use three AAA batteries (sold separately) or the included rechargeable Lithium Ion battery, ensuring we have backup power for those long, overnight runs.
Not only is the Sprinter 500 Headlamp lightweight and comfortable to wear, but it also provides ample brightness on the trail. This headlamp is designed with the safety of runners in mind, allowing us to run confidently on both roads and trails.
