Think about the R-Series or Double Fuel Rechargeable Headlamps from Black Diamond. Both provide various beam pattern options, water protection, and brightness that is simple to adjust.

Three Triple A alkaline batteries or rechargeable lithium ion battery backs are available with the Multi Fuel. As a result, you can disconnect from the grid while also recharging at the following USB port. Both series can be submerged for 30 minutes at a depth of one meter. Black Diamond adheres to sustainability by recycling extra cardboard and scrap metal. The business has previously recycled 11, 157 pounds of glass, and 1.67 metric tons of CO2 have been saved as a result of its recycling efforts.
