"Lightest Headlamp. Black Diamond Ion. This tiny, weatherproof headlamp is a perfect choice for scale-carrying gram-counters or as a backup light in any survival kit (or glove compartment)." - Backpacker Magazine 2008 Gear Guide
Description
A great ultralight backup light, the new Black Diamond Ion is small enough to stash just about anywhere, plus the reflector-housed, 1/2 watt LED casts a far-reaching beam for finding your way up that final pitch of 5.11 or down that last mile back to the trailhead.
Black Diamond's lightest weight headlamp at 30 grams (1 oz), the Ion has a pivoting head that angles the light anywhere you need it, and a replaceable 6-volt battery provides power for 15 hours at the low setting and 3 hours on high. Yes, the Ion is unnoticeable in size and weight, but don’t let its diminutive size fool you—this two-setting headlamp is Black-Diamond-tough, able to withstand apocalyptic levels rain and sleet.
