"My first BD light with the rechargeable battery and I love it. Super easy to change the battery and they charge quick. Solid light and I’m happy with my purchase"
"I’ve used it on several early morning hikes and man this thing works great. I has great lighting modes and very easy to operate. Another great plus is the head strap, very smooth to adjust unlike other brands. Also, very comfortable elastic on the headband as well. Great job!"
"I bought this to replace an aging headlamp from my pack. This works very well. Also very useful in power outages and walking the dog at night, especially in rainy weather."
"The claim 450 lumens , I went hiking and one of my friends has a different brand with less lumens and it was way more brighter than mine and he pay half of the price Quite disappointed"
"Awesome headlight! Really enjoy all the features. Especially love that it is submersible up to 1 m. ! I purchased the storm 450 and can’t wait to try it out in the hiking in the back country of Montana. Tommy F"
"I had high hopes for my Storm 450, but almost immediately it started exhibiting frustratingly strange behavior. The "Power Touch" sensor on the side of the light was difficult to actuate when wanted. However, it was prone to activating on and off continuously for no reason when it was not wanted. Eventually the light itself would not operate correctly at all. When I put new batteries in, only the small white and RGB lights would operate for a few seconds then die completely. I definitely did not get my money's worth and now own a very expensive bit of toxic landfill."
"muy buena linterna para montañismo"
"Headlamp is very bright last long great for backpacking trips."
"The Storm 450 Headlamp is awesome. This headlamp is the BEST headlamp I've ever purchased. I work a lot of military contract jobs. The light is amazing in all modes. The large white light is very bright at night. Rub the side and the second white light comes on. The two white lights illuminate a large area. It's great that it stays on the last mode you were on, comes in really handy depending on the situation. It's really nice that you can lock it during the day and not worry about the light accidentally coming on and burning your batteries up. I've used many headlamps over the past 40 years; this is definitely top of the line. Worth every penny."
"Has a brighter red light than my spot."
