Affordable and minimal yet powerful enough for camping and general outdoor use, the Black Diamond Astro175 is a no-brainer lighting option.
This unit now provides 175 lumens thanks to the updated optical efficiency which also helps save on battery life. The body has been designed to be more compact and ergonomic and with a lower profile for better balance. The Astro175 runs on 3 x AAA batteries and has three settings - full strength, dimming and strobe which gives you options for different applications. This headlamp also features brightness memory, which means you can turn it off on your chosen setting without it going back to full power when you turn it on.
The Astro175 will also withstand rain and sleet from any angle thanks to its IPX4 stormproof construction. Powerful enough for general use, but compact enough to bring as a backup – the Astro175 is a valuable addition to your outdoor kit.

Unfortunately the Black Diamond Astro 175 Headlamp does not have a red light option. It does, however, have an awesome function which can dim the super low, and alot of people find this as a good alternative to the red.
