The Black Diamond Helion is a 3 LED/Xenon headlamp with 2 modes of operation. The bezel and switching mechanism are on the front of the user's head and the battery compartment is in the rear. Both sections are attached by a cable which wraps around the user's right side and the unit uses a 3 point elastic fully adjustable suspension system to attach to the user's head. Three LEDs rest in a protected reflector with a single Xenon bulb in the center. The LEDs are housed on a smooth silver platform which matches a notch in the top of the xenon bulb faceted reflector. The bezel is vertically adjustable 90 degrees and when pivoted all the way down the switch is protected from accidental activation. 3 AA batteries needed for operation. Battery life is advertised as 220 hrs for the LEDs and 3.5 hours for the bulb. Water/splash resistant. has three LEDs for superb trail hiking and proximity lighting and a bright xenon bulb for far-reaching beam projection when climbing or cross-country hiking. An Ultem reflector allows for the use of a high intensity "Searchlight" bulb and provides smooth, even light without rings or spots. Its redesigned tilt housing and new over-molded battery box offer increased comfort, security and function. Compact and lightweight, $20.00
