Powered by our BD 2400 Li-ion battery that’s charged by a micro USB, the Storm 500 R also features a sustainably made elastic headband with Repreve recycled textiles. The compact body is ergonomic, and the updated user interface includes a secondary switch for easy mode selection. In addition, the updated optical efficiency not only provides brighter light, but also saves battery life that you can now easily track with a six-setting, three-LED battery meter. The Storm 500 R also has three different colored night vision modes and peripheral white lighting for close-range activities like carefully re-racking for the final summit pitch in the dark. The headlamp has our Brightness Memory feature, which allows you to turn the light on and off at a chosen brightness without reverting back to the default, full power setting. The Storm 500 R's PowerTap Technology enables you to quickly and easily access maximum brightness with the touch of a finger.
Instant transitioning from any setting to full power light output with the tap of a finger.

"The illumination and the dim feature are great! But the charge status LEDs on the bottom are blinding you every single time after switching off. And the powertap is so uncontrollably annoying that you find tons of people complaining, asking for a proper switch and trying to modifying their torch."
"Looks good, great features but when will it be USB C chargable?"
"Ich habe die Lampe jetzt ein Jahr und kaum in gebrauch gehabt! Leider bin ich über die Lampe nicht zufrieden! Die Lampe schaltet willkürlich um in irgendwelche Modi, und Sie lässt sich auch nicht mehr verriegeln! Dieses Produkt ist nicht zu empfehlen !"
"Le power tap tactile est vraiment pas pratique, lorsque l'on manipule la lampe sans l'avoir sur la tête. Et même quand on l'a sur la tête, on active et désactive le power tap par accident très souvent en voulant ajuster la frontale. Gros bug d'éclairage également, réclamation en cours"
"Twice in a row I've bought a headlamp that jumps automatically to max beam and back to the set beam. In the video I display this with movement but it doesn't need that for this to happen it just encourages it to display the issue"
"Really pleased with this HT. Used a couple of times on night navigation training and it’s super. I like the rechargeable battery system. I carry a 20,000MaH battery and this recharges it easily. The internal battery seems to last ages anyway."
"Loving this headlamp! I purchased this mostly for use in the daytime in dark wooded areas for invertebrate studies to aid spotting snails, insect etc down to a couple of mm in size. The bright focused light enables me to spot insects/snails ca 2mm with greater ease in subdued ambient light levels. What's most impressive is the burn time and even on full power its lasting more than a day in the field. Simple to use, light weight/compact and the lock facility means it doesn't get switched on accidentally whilst in my field bag. Very pleased so far. My only slight criticism is that it could do with being able to angle down a fraction more for the purpose I am using it ie holding rocks close to my face for examination of insects but I guess they weren't designed for this niche activity. That said, if I lost it tomorrow, I'd buy another."
"makes the perfect light, and lasts longer as you are awake :-)"
"leicht und super licht"
"Can highly recommend the headlamp. Even though you need a few hours getting used to choosing the right buttons for different occasions, the variety of possibilities is really great!"
