STORM 400 HEADLAMP

Product Information

Power Tap allows you to adjust the brightness simply by tapping the touch sensitive housing with your bare finger, think of it like the main beam switch in your car. The PowerTap feature allows the user to make beam adjustments with a pretty casual bump of the fingertip to the right side of the light housing.

These buttons are more or less operable with cold hands or wearing gloves, but it helps a lot of you're already well familiar with using the torch since you can't feel much.As a climber, I need a headtorch that goes on over a helmet with ease and can stand up to the odd knock against a rock face.

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including Bisphenol A (BPA), and Nickel, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. That big 2400 mAh Li-ion battery holds a lot of juice, giving you a very generous 7 hours at full beans (as measured by the ANSI FL-1 test standard now used by many manufacturers). Spot mode is a lot more focused, throwing a narrow beam a long way but at the expense of closer range peripheral vision. The only drawbacks I've found are it being 4 AAAs, which is nitpicking, and having slightly too soft proximity lighting.

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. I'm coming round to that PowerTap thing, but I do think small torches are best as simple as possible, and as such I would definitely prefer three distinct output modes rather than endlessly scrolling through the dimmer function. This new version of the Storm however is totally back on form, which them having upped the lumens yet again to an impressive 400.
