| Black Diamond ION Headlamp |
 |
A great ultralight backup light, the new Ion is small enough to stash just about anywhere, plus the reflector-housed, 1/2 watt LED casts a far-reaching beam for finding your way up that final pitch of 5.11 or down that last mile back to the trailhead.
Our lightest headlamp at 48 grams (1.7oz, inc battery), the Ion has a pivoting head that angles the light anywhere you need it, and a replaceable 6-volt battery (28g) provides power for 15 hours at the low setting and 3 hours on high.
Yes, the Ion is unnoticeable in size and weight, but don't let its diminutive size fool you this two-setting headlamp is Black-Diamond-tough, able to withstand apocalyptic levels rain and sleet.
Our Verdict
Being minimalists we think that this light will serve as a main light or a summer trip, afterall by the time it gets dark in summer we should be well fed and tucked up in bed.
Testimonials
'I lost my Ion Headlamp last summer on a hiking trip in the Northeast, much to my disappointment, along with my orange whistle. Hiking a couple of weeks ago, I found it next to a boulder?apparently where it had fallen out of my pack unbeknownst to me. Still nice and bright and no worse for a year of exposure. Cool.'
