Black Diamond Cosmo Headlamp

REI

Updated and improved, Black Diamond Cosmo headlamp now boasts a brighter beam and greater lighting versatility.

  • Two side LEDs and one central 0.5-watt LED throw light a maximum distance of 32 meters, bettering the 21 meters of the original Cosmo
  • Streamlined design sets the beam at an efficient illumination angle; ratcheting swivel head aims light where you need it
  • Two bright LEDs and single 0.5-watt LED operate independently; switch on top lets you select from low, medium or high lighting levels for each
  • Strobe functions for the paired LEDs and the 0.5-watt LED create signaling capabilities
  • Water-resistant construction gives full-on reliability in inclement weather
  • Headlamp features an automatic turn-off function should it accidentally be left on in a pack; lamp turns off at 9.5 hours
  • Compact design fits securely around head with adjustable elastic band that won't pull hair
  • Runs on three AAA batteries (included); battery compartment is just behind LEDs for a compact design

Providing bright, close-range light, the Cosmo Headlamps by Black Diamond use a 1/2 watt LED beam for scrambling back to the car or nervously scanning the darkness to see what’s making that “bear-like” noise. Switch to the two proximity LEDs for plenty of close-up ambient light for cooking in the vestibule or peeping under the bumper for your stashed car keys. Both lamps have eight different brightness settings (including strobe illumination) and two modes, allowing you to tailor your light intensity and conserve batteries—because sometimes your one-day push turns into a few. Like all Black Diamond headlamps, the Cosmo and Moxie are fully stormproof and can handle the worst weather Mother Nature can spit out.

Surprisingly Efficient

Tomas Jecny at Backcountry.com on 11/18/2008
Rated: *****
I thought this headlamp would be kinda mediocre at its price, but I was pleasantly surprised! The two modes produce strong beams of light and you can even set different degrees of brightness + flashing mode -> multiple uses: for camping, working around the house and riding a bike.

Very solid

Used this headlight for camping and hiking and it performed very well. It was even quite handy when I wanted to go cycling at night. Unless you're doing some hardcore hiking or cycling through the bush at night then this is all you'd need. Note: I originally pruchased the Spot, but was sent this accidentally. Backcountry refunded me for the Spot and told me to keep Cosmo. Thanks guys, awesome service!!!

All you need

This lamps generates a good amount of light for the weight and size. I used it on a recent camping trip and it was very handy. I needed it to help find my way back to camp for the final three miles of a trail and I was pleased with its performance. It is nice around the house, too. This was my first headlamp.

"Awesome"

Always wanted one of these and wish I would have had it on my last trip for cooking at night, but seems to work really good.

"comfort and pretty birght"

Chris at Moosejaw (Fall 2008) on 10/31/2008

This is a pretty good little headlamp. Bright enough for some night adventures. Selecting the brightness levels is a PITA, and should really be easier.

"Very bright, very light, great buy."

I love this headlamp. In fact I bought a second one just to have if something should happen to my original.

Strong performance at great price

Small and lightweight, this headlamp gives you three brightness settings and strobe. Weatherproof, reliable and bright!

Backpacker Mag Review (March 2008)

smokeymountaindan at REI on 07/10/2008
Rated: *****
(from backpacker mag, mar 2008) Get a near-perfect blend of price, weight, and brightness in this versatile headlamp, which was entirely redesigned for 2008. It has a 1/2-watt LED for spot uses (like routefinding) and two smaller LEDs for proximity uses (reading or cooking). The spot beam reaches 75 feet, with a piercing bulls eye amid a wider-than-average beam, so you can see side trails and tree-tunnel details. The tilt mechanism is secure enough for scrambling and trail running. Burn time: 120 hours on high, although it dims noticeably after 30 hours.

"I likey"

Graham at Moosejaw (Fall 2008) on 07/04/2008
Rated: ****
I like this headlamp, it's bright and good on battery life so long as you utilize the LEDs for the majority of your use. Both the xenon and LEDs are pretty damn bright. The functions are a bit funny but you get the grip of it after a little bit of playing with it. I recommend.
