Trail Tested - Review

I most recently used the Black Diamond Distance 1500 during the Bighorn 100 Mile Trail Race, and it absolutely delivered. Through rugged, technical terrain and a full night of running, the headlamp performed flawlessly. The variable beam angles and adjustable brightness settings made navigating in the dark feel effortless; running through the night was like a dream (like that?). The PowerTap boost came in especially handy for quick terrain checks or spotting distant trail markers, and the beam stayed strong and consistent all night long. I’m not sure how the weight compares to other headlamps in its class, but honestly, I often forgot it was even on my head. The light was secure and bounce-free, even on steep descents and uneven trails. The Distance 1500 is a serious piece of gear for serious nighttime efforts, and it has definitely earned a permanent spot in my ultra kit. Another top-notch product from Black Diamond!

Game Changer For The Early Morning Backcountry Starts

I have been using cheap headlamps for years. . . finally invested in this product and it has changed the game. The lighting is incredible, the power tap feature is really cool, and the battery has been very reliable. It is also nice to start the day with a charge versus having throw-away battery powered lights and always wondering if you are going to have enough juice. Love it.

Black Diamond Distant 1500 Headlamp—bright, Versatile, And Pricey

Having used many headlamps over the years—including the original Black Diamond Icon and all its upgrades—I can confidently say the Black Diamond Distant Headlamp stands out as a top-tier option. It’s brighter and more versatile than most, with adjustable lighting modes and easy dimming to conserve battery life. The rugged, weatherproof design feels well-made, and I’m hoping the headband holds up better than previous models, where the straps failed too quickly. It’s definitely on the expensive side, and the extra battery I purchased wasn’t cheap either. However, since I use a headlamp frequently, having a spare battery allows me to swap them out without downtime. If you need a high-performance headlamp and are willing to pay a premium for brightness, durability, and versatility, this one is worth considering.
