Diode, inductor, some transistors and sepic processor - typical modern DC-DC buck driver. The mcpcb (metal core pcb) mentioned earlier, enables for much better heat distribution from the LED-s, in contrast to normal PCB applied in the Spot. This is an interesting solution since delicate heating-up in the case of chargeable or not chargeable batteries enables to squeeze more energy from them - it is simply a solution of genius for winter season. But I'll write about that later ).Ĥ screw later, everything is on the top this additional component in the battery compartment is a heat sink screwed to mcpcb, on which the LED-s are set. In the middle of the compartment, a little riddle. This time, the battery compartment has been thought over very carefully the batteries find their way accurately into their places, they may be pulled out easily, the additional strap enables to remove the fourth cell. The pushbutton rubber is also glued into the casing thus, nothing will leak here, too. Never less, I would like that the screw will be a little bit bigger. Green – more than 75% - this is a very important information since, in this headlamp, it means also the time during which the light is regulated. The battery level indicator known from the Spot - when the light is powered on in white mode, the battery meter on the side of the headlamp will show for 3 seconds: The screw closure, the casing halves are not matched ideally but, this time, it does not mean any gap - the additional edge ideally contacts the rubber gasket surface what ensures the tightness of the whole casing. XP-E is a good industrial standard for the present day, considerably cheaper but only a little lower efficient these small things of 350mA provide at least 90 lumens of light at the lowest selection This TriplePower led looks somehow familiar this is Cree XP-E - the economic version of XP-G that I’m putting into all modded headlamps these days. First switching on and the first illumination: wow, this little thing lights really good !
The control system is known to me from the Spot already, though I do not bother too much ). In total, similar to Spot, but somewhat another, the front glass integrated with then casing, screw closure, grey – orange colors… Where did I see it? That is exactly Princeton Tec EOS on steroids well, almost, the closing screw is somewhat smaller what makes opening a little bit more difficult and the head deflection range is also smaller.
LED Type : 1 TriplePower, 4 SinglePower (2 white, 2 red) Lumens : 100 Max Distances * : 70 m (TriplePower LED) 25 m (2 SinglePower LEDs) Max Burn Time * : 200 H (TriplePower LED) 125 H (SinglePower LEDs) Batteries : 4 AAA Weight Without Batteries : 110 g (3.9 oz) IPX Rating : 7 (Protection against immersion in water - immersion to the depth of 1 metre for 30 minutes) We also included a lock mode to stop accidental battery drain when the lamp is stored in your pack. In addition to versatile proximity, distance and strobe modes, the Storm's 2 red LEDs preserve night vision and activate without cycling through white mode. When you need bright, reliable light in the worst conditions, the fully waterproof Black Diamond Storm offers up 100 lumens of illumination for spotting rap anchors or lighting up the trail. In addition, it looks like the designers have met all assumed targets: compact size, 100 lumen, regulated, waterproof headlamp. However, after a closer acquaintance, it turns out that it is not a headlamp competing with Tikka 2 XP but with Princeton Tec EOS 70. Black Diamond Storm - at the first look it is not especially different from the Spot - powered from 4 AAA cells and 100 lumens except of 75 and 3 AAA.
