Black Diamond says
The new Sprinter 500 is purpose-built to handle everything from early morning urban runs to all night mountain running adventures. Ultra-thin and well balanced, the Sprinter 500 now features nearly twice the lumen output of previous versions, emitting 500 lumens on the light’s brightest setting. Providing maximum power flexibility for runners on the move, the Sprinter is Dual-Fuel compatible and can be powered with either our rechargeable BD 1800 Lithium-ion battery which is included when purchased or it can run off three AAA alkaline batteries as well. The single front lens has an extremely smooth universal beam that minimizes hot spots and eliminates harsh transitions on the trail. It includes our intuitive single button interface for easy on/ off actuation, PowerTap™ Technology for quick on the fly brightness adjustment, and variable dimming for fine tune adjustment of your brightness setting. The Sprinter has a lightweight perforated elastic headband for increased breathability and the top strap is quickly added or removed based upon user preferences. With reflective logos and a rear red flasher, it will help to keep you visible on the road and on the trail. The Sprinter 500 headlamp is our premium, purpose-built solution for runners who start early in the morning or for those who keep running long after the sun has set.
Our Verdict
The Black Diamond is designed with running in mind to maximise light on your early mornings or evening runs while providing the highest level of comfort and preventing any distractions from your goals.
The Sprinter has a 500 Lumen out put that comes from a single bulb to direct the maximum amount of light to guide your way over even the most challenging trails, meaning that you don’t need to slow down and can keep on pushing.
The Sprinter features Duel-Fuel so can be used with the lithium ion BD 1800 battery that comes with the torch or AAA batteries in case of emergencies. It is also has a Micro USB connector so can be recharged without the need for a separate charger.
The comfort of the sprinter is particularlty impressive as it is barely noticeable and stays in position, meaning no off putting movement, the perforated headband also stops you from getting to hot and built up perspiration.
With a multitude of features such as PowerTap to adjust the light depending on what is required so as not to waist battery, red taillight strobe to increase visibility, digital lock mode to prevent battery waist from accidently leaving it on, storm-proof resistance so no need to worry about the rain and a battery meter so you don’t run out of power by surprise.
