ReviewsBlack Diamond Spot Review | 53 g, 450 lm, IPX7 for ¥8,800A review of the Black Diamond Spot, a new fall/winter 2026 headlamp. Buy it if you want light weight and waterproofing: 450 lumens, 53 g, IPX7, ¥8,800 with tax. High mode lasts only 2.6 hours on AAAs, so I compared it by the numbers with the Petzl Actik Core and the Black Diamond Storm.Oct 19, 2026Products shown (Rakuten Ichiba): Petzl Actik / Petzl Actik Core / Petzl Swift RL / Ledlenser HF4RPetzl Actik Core Review: Compared by the Official Numbers625lm, 88g, 7 hours on medium. A review of the Petzl Actik Core. Worth buying if you usually recharge and want to add AAA batteries only on long trips. The official numbers are 625 lumens, 88g and ¥13,530 incl. tax; medium (100 lumens) runs 7 hours on the rechargeable battery or 10 hours on AAA. I compared it with its sibling models and three models from other brands by price per lumen.Review · Oct 18, 2026
