Sprint 225 Lumens Headlamp Black Diamond Outlet

Black Diamond says

Our Verdict

Black Diamond’s Sprint 225 Headlamp is a great headlamp for runners who want to get moving come rain or shine, day or night. When using the light on the maximum 225 lumens, you still get a solid 2 hours battery life out of it which is more than enough for my runs. And if your really determined to run longer than 2 hours you can easily turn down the strength with a simple tap of the headlamp.

The developments in the PowerTap controls and Brightness Memory have now filtered down from the top of the range models to the lightest weight version here giving you some seriously impressive performance. The more you fiddle about with the settings and practice using it the more you’ll get out of it when you’re running.

The weight of the Sprint 225 is a huge improvement on similar versions in the past. The change from standard batteries to a rechargeable lithium battery mean that you don’t even notice it once you start running. The charging time is pretty reasonable too, just remember to pop it on charge as soon as your get in from your run, that way it’s ready to go the next time you need it.
