Black Diamond created the Ion Headlamp for backpackers and climbers who want a just-in-case light source for all-day outings and anyone else who likes to pack light. Two LED lights provide plenty of light to build anchors, make a few rappels, hike down the trail, or pitch a tent. Thanks to the ridiculously low 1-ounce weight, the Black Diamond Ion Headlamp makes the cut for any ultralight trip.

A minimalist light

EGUSTing at Backcountry.com on 11/18/2008
Rated: ***
This is a good lightweight headlamp for early morning runs or MTB rides, but you won't be able to see too far down the trail. The two LEDs put out an adequate amount of light, but nothing spectacular. This is a light I'll keep in my pack in case of emergencies due to its minuscule size. However, for a light that works in a wider array of environments, I'm upgrading to the Petzl TacTikka Plus. If you can get this light for under $10, then go for it...otherwise, I would go with something else.

Super light

its extremely light weight, stays on your head surprisingly well for not having an over the head strap(i can run with it) on the down side it does not give out a ton of light, and it uses a 9v camera battery.

I love this little headlamp. It replaced my Princeton Tec that I had for 4 years. The Ion is infinitely lighter and more compact. It stays on my head even when I'm running and the dual brightness settings is a nice touch. It sends plenty of light down the trail so you're not tripping on roots and rocks during a pre-dawn ascent. Get it as a backup if nothing else.
