Sports reviews of Black Diamond Gizmo Headlamp
Customer Review: OK - 5 stars in the first 45 min!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This headlamp gets a 5-star review in the first 45 minutes of use! I got this because I wanted a lightweight headlamp for running after dark and to take backpacking/canoeing and other places where weight counts. I have some Black Diamond climbing equipment and their headlamps all got great reviews too, so I went with this one. As soon as I opened it I decided the design is great. Very compact, just big enough to squeeze in a couple AA batteries right behind the 3 LEDs. The elastic headband is small and won't absorb much sweat, but it's quite strong with a lot of stretch and I have to loosen it up quite a bit or I'd probably get indentations in my head!
On my first run, I like the way the three LEDs lighted up a swath ahead of me, not just one bright focused beam. There was a bright moon so I turned the headlamp off after the first 10-15 min. As I got back to my car at the end of the run I whipped off my hat and totally forgot the headlamp was on it - just for that split second until I heard the sound of lightweight plastic pieces tinkling on the blacktop. Uggh - actually had the light on for only 10-15 min and already I broke it! Take it to the car interior light for damage assessment... The lid on the batteries had popped open, but was still attached because there's a flexible retainer band that keeps the two pieces from ever getting separated by more than half an inch. The headlamp assembly had also separated from the bracket on the headstrap. I closed the lid on the battery and it turned on. Aha! Still works! I popped the headlamp back into the bracket, but put it in upside down and actually had to work a bit with a key as a lever to get it back out again to put it in the right way. So it's made of very strong plastic with a lot of flex to it. I can see a pair of tiny scratches on one corner and that's it. Bottom line: No Wal-Mart cheapie here! This well-designed headlamp constructed of very lightweight, very flexible, very strong plastic. All around great product, especially for the price!
