"Light is nice and bright, headband comfy and snug…only problem is that I need to replace batteries every single time I use it. It doesn’t matter if I use it for 20 minutes or 2 hours. The batteries must be draining even when light is off. The battery compartment is super difficult to open, making it an even bigger issue."
"Not only did the battery clip stop holding the battery in after 2 months, the time I spent to register the product on the Black Diamond website on day of purchase meant nothing because they wouldn’t honor the warranty without my original paper receipt. Cheap and not worth it."
"There are no instructions for installing the battery"
"Great light for the price. Then I ordered the rechargeable battery but beware, you have to buy it with a charger! I got the battery but it doesn’t come with the charger."
"Better than my wrap around my neck lights, so much easier to use because it doesn’t slid off . . fantastic . . lit up the entire room . . I was shocked at how good it was . . I am a coal miners’ grand-daughter. . now I’m just like my grandpa!"
"I recently traveled to Poland for the holidays and brought along two of these incredible little lights—just in case. (It gets dark there around 3 PM!) During my visit, I ended up with a small injury that required stitches. When it came time to have them removed, a friend who’s a medical professional used his regular utility light but couldn’t quite see the last suture clearly. I handed him this compact light and said, “Try this!” He was instantly impressed by how well it illuminated the area. I ended up leaving it with him as a thank-you for his help, and he was thrilled. This is truly a fantastic device—thoughtful design, great performance, and surprisingly handy in unexpected situations. I’ll definitely be ordering another one soon!"
"Perfect for checking heifers, hands are free to work"
"Solid workhorse of a headlight. Simple and effective"
"I love this headlamp! super easy to use and gives great bright light!"
"I just bought it and for the life of me I can’t figure out how to open the battery case! Help! It’s an Astro 300."
