#Black diamond storm headlamp max burn time 2016 vs 2017 how to

The PolarI has two low-power lamps which work well as a widebeam when moving slower, which the new headunits do not duplicate well IMHO. I don't have great love for the newstyle headunit, having seen it in the 2016 Storm. Whether BD will update the PI to match the new Icon headunit or just discontinue it will be interesting. I have the Polar Icon, which I got specifically to get the battery off of the head and onto a belt-loop, and as you say, doing this dramatically improves the lamp for running (lithiums also help reduce weight). Like I said above, choose a configuration you like and stick with it. The thought of making this conversion out in the field, especially in the dark is a bit unlikely. Even after looking at the instructions though, I just could not wrap my head around why this was not the case and why the process had to be so complicated. My first inclination was that the actual battery pack would somehow detach from the strap anchor plate and you could simply leave the straps anchored in the slots.

Even with some practice, I would soon forget how to do it if some time passed (it just took a week for me to forget) and would have to start from square 1 with the instructions, so I would suggest picking whether or not you want the battery on your head or in your pack/pocket and stick with it.

Reattaching the straps to one another however requires patience, the instructions in hand and a controlled environment. Removing the battery pack from the adjustable headband is easy, you simply slide the straps out of the slots pictured below.
