Looking for a great headlamp I can depend on. Had my Black Diamond Storm crap out on me during a 7 mile pack out in the snow. Not ideal. Not looking to save money here just want a light I can trust. Thanks in advance.
It has a lock out function, at least my Black Diamond does, not sure what model I have, but I like it so far.People always suggest Zebralight... but which model? They have a dizzying amount of options. I am in the same boat, I am interested in a dependable lamp, regardless of cost. I have a black diamond that is not clicking on and off constantly, the slightest tough sets it off. This weekend, it was on all weekend in my pack and died on a hike, no bueno

Hmm, I will have to check. Mine is seriously on a hair trigger. The slightest tap to the button and it goes on or off.
Neutral white if you like a natural yellow tint to your light. Cool white if you like that blueish old school led look.People always suggest Zebralight... but which model?

What happened to your Storm, and how old was it?
That's my favorite headlamp I've found so far. I've had mine for about a year.

The Zebralight won't turn on by itself without somehow depressing the switch. To prevent accidental 'on' events....turn the battery cover/end cap just 1/4 turn. The light will NOT be able to operate until the end cap is tightened. I do this when packing or traveling and have never had accidental battery drain.
One nice thing about 18650 batteries is the rechargeable feature. They are powerful cells and most 18650 lights offer way more illumination and operation time vs CR123 or AA/AAA units. Over the life of the light, recharging the 18650 battery will more than pay for the increased cost vs replacing batteries many times.
