"Honestly, I was disappointed with the durability of the Spot 400 headlamp. I've had it for just over three years and it already has several cracks/fissures in the front glass/film and on the edges that support the film. Furthermore, the part on the back that adjusts the headlamp's angle also mysteriously broke. I've always been extremely careful with the headlamp, keeping it in a secure case whenever I transport it. Even so, it wasn't enough to prevent this damage. I sincerely believe the damage is due to a lack of durability, not carelessness on my part. Now, I'd like to know if, with this damage, it's still water-resistant? I'd also like to check if it's possible to send the headlamp to Black Diamond for repair. In short. . . it's a good headlamp, simple to use and with good brightness for walks in wilderness areas."
"This head lamp has been super durable. Couple that with a great price, and you got a product that’s tough to beat. Finish it up with dual fuel option it’s a no-brainer for every gear bag."
"Honestly, I bought this headlamp to replace a headlamp that my buddy had borrowed and lost during an ice climbing festival. The battery is good and there aren't any complex or unnecessary functions on the device. The headlamp is suprisingly light and the brightness was enought to partake in some night time ice climbing sends."
"I’ve owned several Black Diamond Spot headlamps, and the Black Diamond Spot 400 Headlamp keeps that same reliability. Lightweight, dependable, and bright enough for everything I need—from camping to evening walks. Simple and effective—it just works."
"Easy to use, has a really nice light spread and variety of light modes. I love how lightweight it is!"
"I love how lightweight and comfy this headlamp is. It’s everyday carry for me. For the prescious Nightly bedtime reading with red light for easier falling asleep for kiddos, to the frustratingly mundane grab out of the purse for finding the lost shoe in the car, to before the sun is up Grand Canyon hiking. It does everything, for years, very well."
"I live this! So light and comfortable."
"Perfect headlamp - light weight, adjustable brightness, good for a multiple activates - used it for hiking as a belt for running and biking"
"Perfect"
"Excellent"
