Black Diamond Distance 1500 Headlamp
DESIGNED FOR FAST-PACED, OVERNIGHT ENDURANCE PUSHES AND MOVING THROUGH TECHNICAL TERRAIN AT NIGHT, THE DISTANCE 1500 REPRESENTS THE PINNACLE OF HEADLAMP TECHNOLOGY.
The Distance’s integrated PowerTap™ Technology boosts the light to the max setting of 1500 lumens for long-range terrain assessments or spotting trail markers. Constant-output programming provides continuous lighting, and the light’s engineered, multi-faceted lens provides smooth, reliable light that maintains depth perception without creating shadows or artifacts. The interchangeable, magnetic battery pack has enough capacity to last the entire night at a moderate setting and easily swaps one-handed without stopping when more power is needed. The Distance’s Comfort Cradle™ sits low and contours the head to eliminate bounce and features integrated cushioning for all-night comfort.

WHAT WE THINK
We’ve taken the Black Diamond Distance 1500 Headlamp on a number of night hikes and early morning trail runs, and we’ve been really impressed with its bright, consistent beam. At 1500 lumens, this headlamp is no joke—it easily lights up the trail for hundreds of meters ahead, making it ideal for fast-paced adventures where you need clear vision in the dark.
One of the best features, though, is the adjustable, comfortable headband. After wearing it for hours on end during night runs and hikes, it never feels uncomfortable or heavy. The adjustable light settings are perfect for switching between high for those night hikes or low for camp chores. The dimming feature and red night vision mode are great for preserving our night vision and managing battery life.
The only drawback we’ve found is that the headlamp is a bit on the heavier side compared to more basic models. If you’re looking for something ultra-lightweight for minimalist hiking or trail running, this might not be the best fit. However, if you need powerful lighting and don’t mind a little extra weight, it’s well worth it. -
