Light, bright, and easy to charge, this is one storm you’ll want on your trip. Black Diamond has broken their flagship headlamp into a few different versions. The Storm 550 sits right in the middle: not as bright as the Storm + but brighter than the Storm 450, and lighter than both. If you want a rechargeable headlamp that weighs less than 2 energy bars and throws up to 550 lumens, this is your Storm. Signature features like smooth dimming, flood and spot lighting, and red-, green-, and blue-light night modes are now even easier to use. And USB-C charging means you can top up your light with almost any phone charger—no more “good enough” batteries for you.

- 3-level LED power meter lets you know how your batteries are doing
- Lock-out mode prevents accidental activation, so you don’t pull out a dead headlamp just when you need it
