The light is bright and has made both walking at night and being seen easy. The main head lamp can be dimmed to manageable level (the brightest setting will likely blind drivers if you're in an environment with traffic), and easily (single-tap) adjusted to full brightness, if needed temporarily. Color LEDs (red, green, blue) are handy and dimmable, too. These are useful at Star Parties/events focused on observing the sky where white light can interfere with things. Seems well-made, though adjusting the head straps for a proper fit was more challenging than it should have been. Battery life seems reasonable. Learning how dimming/switching among LEDs isn't super intuitive - Black Diamond's web-site has a good video that is easier to understand than the included,

This headlamp is great. I’ve owned this model previously and the updates on the current iteration are great: better battery compartment cover (more robust latch), extendable cord for use off of your head etc.It is an external battery type model (battery on back of head with connections cord to front light) so you should make sure you want that.Band can be easily adjusted.The switch to different modes is a bit too complex for what I need in a headlamp but you get used to it. Not really sure I need to tap out Morse code to change from main light to others.If the cord is not well joined together (screw/type Weather resist connection) they light will not function well (low brightness)

My experience with Icon is very positive. Is available an intense fascicle of light, within the continuous button pressing this will gradually increase and decrease. Moreover, red, green and blue leds are available, all of them on different intensities and strobe. The lamp is coming with head fixing system preinstalled, but another straps are available for wist fixing of batteries, with a separate long cable. The batteries are Duracell, incorporated in kit. As per my previous experiences with another brands, good headlamps become garbage due to batteries closing system, but with Icon that will not repeat, the battery module is available as spare. For me Petzl is now history.

Good product, a little exaggerated in function, it takes a little practice to switch light functions. Strong and wide open beam light, a little heavier than I imagined because it uses 4 batteries, the great advantage is being able to carry the battery compartment close to the body with a strap and extension cord system that comes with the flashlight and assists in days coolers preserving battery life and removing extra weight from the head. The dimmer function is very interesting when it is necessary to increase or decrease the light intensity. Tested only at home.

this is the apex predator of headlamps. the endurance is fantastic while its still quite bright. Being able to toggle between red/green/blue lights, and having a pointer light to see distance vs a consistent wide angle light for reading is quite useful. In the previous verison of this product, the reading light/ wide angle light was not very consistent, so there were lines from the lens overlapping which were brighter in some spots than others, and you'd totally notice it if your staring at a blank piece of paper, for example.

I use this Black Diamond Icon Head lamp for caving expeditions. Really bright light! Got one touch max brightness which is very handy. RGB light settings for saving your night vision. Which is nice. White light strobe mode for attracting attention. Lock mode so it doesn't get turned on in transport. I upgraded to this light and probably be using this headlamp for a very long time as it's a good one. Pricey but worth it in the long run.

I got him one several years ago for Christmas and it was the one he would always grab when he needed a headlamp. It's very bright and super comfortable to wear. Whenever i buy him a similar one, that's a different brand, he is never happy with it and will always still grab for this one. Last year the one I got him broke beyond repair, so I got this one as a replacement and again, he loves it & ignores the others on the rack.

I had the previous version of the Icon headlamp and love it. Use it for camping all the time. As soon as I saw that this new version came out I had to buy one. Now I have both. One for me and one for a friend. Best quality headlamp. Been in the rain, the heat, been bumped and dropped. Still works perfect. Great beam pattern and the red light is perfect for keeping night vision. Highly recommended!

Feels slightly less sturdy than v1, probably because of the actual light unit not being metal (or at least, not apparently so), but crucially, they have fixed the absolutely flawed and weakened battery compartment locking mechanism that was on the icon v1This is the icon, the previous model should have been...which is handy, as black diamond customer service might as well not exist

Although I operate the lamp with rechargeable batteries, it is super bright and very easy to operate. Due to the 4 AAA batteries it keeps the voltage very long, but is also significantly heavier on the head than smaller lamps with integrated battery compartment in the lamp housing. Highly recommended when very bright light is required for working or for sports.

This product is nice and bright and has coloured LEDS that protect night vision. It also, dims and flashes. The first impression is that a second button would be useful, the combinations of pressing, holding, double pressing of the same button are uncessesarily complex.The coloured LEDs are not in the main bulb but the side ones - see the attached photos.

This headlamp performs well once you get the hang of the complicated and sometimes unreliable combinations of button pushes necessary to select the desired light color and brightness. If you're new to these, don't take them into the field without a set of notes on operation. The locking feature is helpful, if a little difficult to use.

First time owner of a headlamp and it did not take me long to figure out all the "tap" on getting the light on / bright / flashing. It is a bit on the heavy side if you wear the battery pack at the back of your head, but you can have the battery pack on your hip too.Well made product - I am very happy with my purchased.

I liked the long battery life and adjustable headband. Even though it takes 4 AA batteries it is still well balanced on my head. I originally bought it just for running at night on the trails. It's so bright and easy to use that I use it for every application that I would normally use a flashlight.

I am a long distance runner. I used this when I was running the Blue Ridge Relay in the mountains of North Carolina last month. It was perfect! Long lasting battery, light didn't shake, and I could see in front of me for a long distance. Highly recommend it for long distance runners!
