Compared to most cheaper lamps it’s on the heavy side, but those lighter models aren’t anywhere near the same class. The Storm is a compact and sturdy unit that weighs under five ounces with batteries fitted. There aren’t many other lamps that can beat it on raw performance but what really earns our recommendation is the overall package. The latest Storm has its light output boosted from an already impressive 100 lumens to 160 lumens. The Storm is already a familiar design, but Black Diamond has now released an upgraded version that, in our opinion, wins it the accolade of the best general-purpose headlamp.

There’s a wide choice of headlamps on the market and it’s possible to make an expensive mistake. To avoid discomfort look for minimum weight and a low profile.

Light – You might be wearing your lamp for hours at a time – and ounces can add up fast.Because LEDs are so light and compact multiple colors are also possible. Variable power and emergency strobe mode are common features. They’re all electronically controlled, so it’s easy to build in extra functions. Versatile – Old-style headlamps with a bulb were usually limited to two modes – on or off.Waterproofing is also essential – wear a cheap headlamp in the rain and it’s not likely to survive very long. Rugged – Any piece of outdoor equipment is liable to take a few bumps, so it needs to be robust enough to keep working.
