Reviews of Black Diamond Cosmo Headlamp

Customer Ratings:

Someone recommended this headlamp to me as an inexpensive but durable light. It is very much brighter than I expected, and has two modes: a "spot" mode for trail illumination and seeing far away, and a "Superbright" mode for flood lighting and reading or seeing around the camp site. The light quality is very good, with a bluish hue from the Superbrights and a yellower hue from the spot light. Each mode has 3 brightness settings to conserve energy, and a flashing setting for emergencies. I have not used it in the rain yet, but it does say in the instructions that it works with water spray from all angles, and does not stop working even when water gets in the battery compartment. The headband is very soft and stretchy, and the light weighs only about 3 oz. when the batteries are installed. Overall, a very good little light for the money.

I have owned this headlamp for 6 months. I use it at my mountain cabin where it is sometimes pitch dark. I cannot say enough good things about how it brightens the night. I use the low setting for around the campfire or for house hold chores. The high setting single beam throws light clearly for about 80 yds. I use it for night hiking. Some headlights reflect down into the eyes of the user this one does not. I am buying a few more of these as I have need in my car and around the home, it is 1000x better than a flashlight. Great unit!!!

Best Deals for Black Diamond Cosmo Headlamp

I had to purchase a light to run in a night run over the 4th of July weekend. I never had used a light in the past, and wasn't quite sure what to expect. When I opened the package, I was initially disappointed because I thought the light was a little heavy, and that the headband wouldn't hold the light in place very well. Fortunately, the Cosmo proved me very wrong. The light stays in place extremely well (never had to adjust it during 5 1/2 hours of use), it is light enough that you quickly forget it's there, and it does a good job of lighting the trail in front of you. The light intensity adjustment is a little subtle, but when you figure it out, it's easy. I'm very glad I purchased this, as it should come in handy for things other than running. Great product!

Honest reviews on Black Diamond Cosmo Headlamp

it basically gets 4 and 1/2 stars.....everything i like about it....the only semi-flaw is that the switching system is a bit on the complicated side....i have finally gotten comfortable with the 1/2 clicks [to put it into economy mode]....which is basically all i really need to know to get by.....but i still have no idea how or why i can switch to the spot or the flood....laugh at me....go ahead i don't mind.....i just wonder why it has to be complicated at all!

this is a totally minor minor complaint....and probably the majority has had no problem at all with this and the switching system is a dream come true for them......

buy it....so much better than anything Petzal who i will never buy again....my goddess you can spend 30 or more dollars on a headlight with a plastic latch that barely works! now that is ridiculous....

This is a great headlamp.The different settings allow you to maximize battery life while getting the lighting that you need for a specific situation. At full power, this light is definitely really powerful. Fitting the batteries in can be challenging the first few times, but once you're used to it, it's just fine. It is pretty comfortable to wear, and somewhat light. (you can probably find much lighter but it won't be the same price...). The manufacturer claims that it is waterproof I did not check that per say, but it is definitely splash proof: did not have any problem of water getting in after using it in the rain for few hours. In summary, a nice little headlamp at a decent price, from a reputable brand. What else to ask for? Oh yes: I wish it came with a protective case...
