Black Diamond Storm Headlamp Problems. When it works it is a great light. This device is not the type of headlamp that dims as it hits the years.
Ive switched to a rechargeable single 18650 lithium-ion cell headlamp and will never look back a single 2200mAh cell have 814Wh thats more than twice the capacity of 4xAAA or close to three times 3xAAA. It can maintain the dazzle throughout its life. An issue with most headlamps featured in the Black Diamond range including the Storm itself is the single button operation.

There are any number of things that can impact your battery life like cold weather and battery age. This was never a problem when climbing mountaineering or caving as most climbing helmets have attachment points to fix a headlamp to them. Use a hat or helmet to prevent headtorch. The Storm headlamp weighs 62g without batteries.
