The Black Diamond Spot 400 is a compact headband flashlight designed for users who need reliable illumination in a small package. It delivers up to 400 lumens from an LED light source and is rated IPX8 for waterproof performance to 1.1 m, combining strong output with water resistance.

IPX8 waterproofing ensures operation in wet conditions, and the simple button controls permit quick mode changes. The product colour is black for a low-profile appearance, and the headband format ensures comfortable wear during extended use.

Recommendations for use

Keep spare alkaline batteries on longer trips to maintain all-round functionality if recharging is not available. Use lower brightness modes to extend runtime when full 400 lm output is not required.
