DarkSky Headlamp (USB-C, Red Night Mode)

Black Diamond's Spot 400 is $59.95. This is $27.99. COB LED, nine brightness steps, and a red mode that keeps your night vision intact when you are looking up instead of down.

• Red night mode. Red light does not wreck your dark adaptation, which is why anyone walking into a dark-sky site runs red instead of white.
• Nine brightness steps plus a zoom that goes from wide flood to focused spot.
• USB-C rechargeable. 3 to 12 hours per charge depending on the mode you run.
• Silicone body. Flexible, comfortable on a hat or bare head, and it does not go brittle in the cold.
• Splash resistant for rain and river spray.

Straight about it: this is a walking-and-camp headlamp, not a search light. On the brightest setting you get a few hours, not the full twelve. Run it low around camp and save the high beam for when you actually need to see down the trail.
