A lightweight and minimal headlamp that’s powerful enough for camping, but also great for general use – the Astro from Black Diamond is great value for money.
The sleek and modern housing has one triple power LED that emits 150 lumens, which is plenty for general use. The Astro runs on 3 x AAA batteries and has three settings - full strength, dimming and strobe which gives you a few lighting options.
This headlamp also features brightness memory, which means you can turn it on and off at a chosen brightness without it going back to full power. The Astro is also stormproof, so it will withstand rain and sleet from any angle thanks to its IPX4 construction.
Bring it as a backup to your more powerful model, or slip it into your glove box in when you need an emergency light – either way, the Astro is a valuable addition to your outdoor kit.
