Black Diamond Sprinter 500 Headlamp

• A smooth, even beam eliminates hot spots and harsh transitions, so the trail ahead stays clearly lit
• Dual fuel flexibility means you can run the included rechargeable battery or swap in AAA batteries when you need backup power on the go
• PowerTap technology lets you flick between dimmed and max brightness with a single tap, no fumbling with buttons mid-stride
• A perforated, breathable headband keeps things comfortable even when you're working hard
• A rear red flasher and reflective logos help keep you visible to others on the road or trail

• Maximum output: 500 lumens
• Weight with battery: approximately 105g
• Max beam distance: 52m on high, 8m on low
• Max burn time: 2 hours on high, 28 hours on low
• Dual-Fuel compatible: BD 1800 rechargeable lithium ion battery (included) or 3x AAA alkaline batteries
• Micro-USB rear charging port
• IPX4 water resistance rating
• PowerTap technology with variable dimming
• Digital lockout feature to prevent accidental activation in a pack or pocket
• Removable top strap

• Early morning or after dark runs on roads, footpaths, and well formed trails
• Runners who want strong, even light without carrying extra bulk
• Urban running where visibility to others matters as much as seeing the path ahead
• Less suited to fast paced, overnight missions on technical terrain needing maximum power. The Black Diamond Distance 1500 Headlamp is a better pick from our range there, with a swappable battery system and up to 1500 lumens for demanding night terrain

The Sprinter 500 hits a sweet spot for runners who need genuinely strong light without stepping up to a heavier, more powerful mountain headlamp. The dual fuel setup is a smart bit of thinking, since it means you're never caught out with a flat rechargeable battery and no backup plan. It's an easy recommendation for anyone doing regular early starts or evening runs who wants dependable, comfortable light that stays out of the way.
