Once I realized that leaving a summit before sunset was unacceptable, I had to invest in a good headlamp. The Spot from Black Diamond had everything I wanted. I was looking for the brightest light I could find that would keep me safe and enable me to reliably see all of those imaginary forest creatures lurking in the shadows. This headlamp is 130 lumens with a custom dimming feature, red lamp, easily adjustable positioning, comfortable strap and locking system so it doesn't turn on accidentally in my pack and drain the batteries. I recently purchased The Storm for my daughter which has 160 lumens and is waterproof. You won't go wrong with either of these models.
