The ultimate adventure guide
The Black Diamond Spot is a great value headlamp packed with features.
The Spot has two different white LEDs as well as one red.
The Spot is compact and lightweight.
The Spot has a lot of gestures to access all its features.
There's a small indicator light (the little yellow LED) that tells you when the battery drops below 50% and 25%.
The Spot uses "PowerTap" - a tap on the side of the headlamp instantly brings you to full power mode. One of my favorite features!
The Spot is lightweight and packable.
The lamp takes 3 AAA batteries.
The Spot has a red light, though it's not very bright.
