Black Diamond Spot 400

Introduction

For midweek dawn patrols, all-night approaches, or just big climbing objectives that push beyond daylight, the Black Diamond Spot 400 has 400 lumens of power, now housed in a smaller, more efficient design.

With a compact body, the Spot 4000 has been redesigned with a lower profile for better balance and is more ergonomic for added comfort. In addition, the updated optical efficiency not only provides brighter light with more peak intensity, but also saves battery life that you can now easily track with a six-setting, three-LED battery meter. The Spot 400 also offers peripheral lighting for close-range activities like sorting gear, cooking, or reading in camp and it sports an IPX8 waterproof housing. The Brightness Memory feature allows you to turn the light on and off at a chosen brightness without reverting back to a default setting. Plus, the Spot 400’s PowerTap Technology makes for instant brightness adjustment settings.The main upgrade from previous models being the fact that theSpot 400 is a dual-fuel head-torch, allowing the use of rechargeable LI-ION BD 1500 battery (not included) or Alkaline cells (included).
