Just Right!!!

Not too much not too little bring when you need it but it’s got a great low setting Weight is reasonable Love it!!!

Black Diamond 400

Bought recently, been pleased with it so far. The full power white light is very bright, the red is not as bright or focused as i would have liked.

Great Lamp

This is the perfect size/weight that I was looking for both for casual travel, early morning and winter evening run/walking and anything else. My one gripe is learning the buttons. I need to reread the instructions as I can't seem to find the right settings or they change quickly. Otherwise, I think I'll be in good shape.

Button Size And Placement

Button is a pain to find with gloves, on freezing nights. The buttons should be larger.

Not Great

I have had and used a Spot 350 for years. After reading the reviews for the 400 it sounds like it has all the same problems as the 350 and costs more. Difficult on/off; impossible with gloves; easy to tap to undesired setting. If you can get the 350 on in the first place and on the setting you want the light works fine. But I've cussed it many a time trying to get there. I would never buy another one. That one reviewer thought this better than Petzel is a real blow to Petzel. Frankly, I have one from Walmart that is far easier to use.
