Headlamp Review: Black Diamond Spot
A headlamp with a swiveling compact head and easy-to-use buttons.
SPECS: $43 3 oz. 3 AAAs 3 LEDs
KEY FEATURES: The Spot has high and low beams that cycle through three brightness levels each, plus an emergency flasher. The compact head swivels, but it doesn’t bounce when you’re jogging.
BRIGHTNESS: ****
PERFORMANCE: Our top choice for cool weather, because its buttons are usable when you’re wearing gloves. Nitpick: Not as bright and sharp as the Tikka.
