Black Diamond Storm 450

Introduction

The Black Diamond Storm 450 is engineered for epics in all conditions, featuring a robust waterproof/dust-proof housing and 450 lumens of bright light.

With a compact body, the Storm 450 is more ergonomic, and the updated user interface includes a secondary switch for easy mode selection. In addition, the updated optical efficiency not only provides brighter light, but also saves battery life that you can now easily track with a six-setting, three-LED battery meter. The Storm 450 also has three different colored night vision modes and peripheral white lighting for close-range activities like carefully re-racking for the final summit pitch in the dark. The headlamp has our Brightness Memory feature, which allows you to turn the light on and off at a chosen brightness without reverting back to the default, full power setting. The Storm 450’s PowerTap Technology enables you to quickly and easily access maximum brightness with the touch of a finger. The main upgrade from previous models being the fact that the Storm 450 is a dual-fuel head-torch, allowing the use of rechargeable LI-ION BD 1500 battery (not included) or Alkaline cells (included).
