- Welcome back to the Channel!
Thanks for checking out this review. I really hope it helps you.
Today we have the Black Diamond Storm 450 Head lamp, Its a dual fuel monster with impressive output of 450lumens but also the ability to run, x3 AAA Batteries or the Black Diamond BD 1500 Lithium pack. The device is around £55 GBP without discount and the BD1500 around £20. But always shop around for the best deals. Mine was direct from Black Diamond and this isn't sponsored, I just like what they do, and their quality products.
Dont need a powerful white light...? how about red, green and blue and also a white super wide beam. Did I mention it dims from lowest to brightest-stepless. It also has SOS and flashing modes. IP67 waterproof and is around 7g lighter with the BD1500 pack.
I hope you enjoy and find light amongst the darkness,

I've been using Black Diamond headlamps for many years, they are great! The company has amazing product support too.
couldn't agree more
@@AlphaPews I had two of the older storms that used 3 aaa, and currently two storm 350 that use 4aaa .. Looking for another with easy swap rechargeable batteries now .. I use and relay on my lamps every day
I think this storm could be 'the one' for you
Great video as usual buddy
😎 big love my friend
Got some cool features!
it's really powerful. hope your keeping well buddy
@@AlphaPews I'm doing well, you?
I'm good baby is well and getting big too 😀
the elastic band written black diamond is it reflective or does the letters glow in the dark?
glossy slightly. it's not unsightly or anything
@@AlphaPews tankyou
Have you had any issues with the battery latch breaking? I've just gotten mine and it feels like the cheapest plastic there is, but no breaking yet. However there are hundreds of reviews saying these break all the time - I'm not sure BD fixed it up in this 450lm model.
none for me. I did notice that with the battery cell, the battery can pop out slightly. but I carefully close it each time. latch has been solid and unit watertight also
I carry mine daily tho. it's my main task light and still loving it. my previous 350 spot is still going strong
@@AlphaPews aight fingers crossed mine won't pop out lol. Looking forward to trying it out while night climbing!
I think you will love the wide beam. it's really nice. powerful for sure. stay awesome 👌
Do you have to open the battery compartment to recharge it for the lithium?
yep, as its designed to use both aaa and a lithium cell
Can you explain what the 'Reserve' column means on the spec sheet? I'm not following what its trying to say
I believe its the low power setting once the batteries get low enough. I'm not sure if that's red or white output. but luckily it's easy to see the battery status and switch before they get low.
I bought a Storm 450 today. It's my first BD product. I like the features, but I'm concerned about the battery latch. Fingers crossed. Thanks for your review.
my latch had been solid. apparently BD will sort any issues with zero fuss. how you finding the output?
Output is great, I really like it. Very cool features too.
@musicM0VESme I carry mine daily. its got me out-of trouble a few times now. I wouldn't be without it.
Being able to use regular batteries is great and I'm going to pick up a BD1500 rechargeable battery pack today.
@musicM0VESme that's my current setup. 1500 charged and spare AAA for backup. plus a USB charger to keep it going
how does it hold up against dunking it in saltwater mate?? like for fishing??
I've not tried in saltwater but I've got mine soaked many times this last winter and was fine. with saltwater but they advise to rise with fresh thoroughly same with watches and other tech
Has anybody used the BD 1500 Battery until they have noticed it lose significant capacity? Wondering how long it will last for before needed recharging. Guessing (2-3 years with regular use?)
I think 3 years is fair. usually it's the number of cycles e.g 500 rather than time that all companies tend to use. so less charging gives more life. I have some older petzl cells that are working strong many years later. I expect the BD will be no different
@@AlphaPews appreciate your response
anytime my friend.
🎉 enjoy everyone ask me anything 🎉
Does it use USB C or mini USB?
AAA batts! but the battery pack is a usb bd1800. so i use the pack and then alkaline batts for backups
they also sell a rechargable lamp with integrated battery but i wanted the dual fuel goodness. I'll check the charging lead for you.
So you can't charge the battery pack thru the headlamp like the revolt does?The revolt is duel fuel but you can charge the battery pack inside the lamp without having to remove it. I don't see why they are going backwards.
The background music is extremely distracting.
noted. appreciate your feedback
Thanks mate! Glory to Ukraine!
slav my friend. praying

P.s. in my opinion storm-r more interesting than regular with br1500 battery - more light time, more power, less money
