Black Diamond Sprinter 500

Introduction

The Black Diamond Sprinter 500 is a purpose built head torch for runners, whether on early morning road runs or on the trails.

The Sprinter is compact and well balanced with a perforated headband for increased breathability. The top strap can also be removed if that is your preference.

The beam is smooth and universal to minimise hot spots and eliminate harsh transitions. The beam is adjusted with a tap and can be fine tuned too with variable dimming.

The rear of the Sprinter has red flashing lights, combined with reflective logos you are more visible at night.

The Sprinter is supplied with a rechargeable lithium ion BD 1800 battery but it can also be used with three AAA batteries.

The Black Diamond Sprinter 500 makes for a solid choice when looking for a running head torch, bright, decent battery life and a comfortable fit.

What The Rock+Run Team Say

“I really like the tap function on the side to quickly go between really bright andnot so bright.The dimmer on the top is great especially when it starts getting lighter in the mornings, or darker on after work runs. I have previously had head torches where there isn’t an option for the top strap to be removable, which is annoying when wearing a helmet so having this option is great. The strap is also super easy to tighten or loosen, but stays in place once left, it’s a great bit of kit.” – James
