The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Comments about Black Diamond Spot Headlamp:
I've had several headlamps through the years, and this one is by far the best. I love the dimming option and the peripheral option. I haven't had it long enough to know how the batteries stand up, but will be taking it on a week long camping trip soon, so it will be put to the test.

Comments about Black Diamond Spot Headlamp:
After using this headlamp for two months in Afghanistan, the right side red LED stopped working and the remaining red light would flicker and dim. The elastic band warped and loosened on it's own. Finally yesterday the spring and plastic portion of the light that adjusts the light fixtures position broke completely during a two mile movement. Now the light worn as a headband uselessly points downward illuminating my face.
You might justify these failures due to hard use in a war zone. However, the light was never dropped, never exposed to water of any kind, and only used maybe 10 times in a two month period.
The only good thing I have to say about this headlamp is that the concentrated white light beam is very bright.

Comments about Black Diamond Spot Headlamp:
This is a great little piece of equipment. Does exactly what you would expect.
Try wearing it around your neck with the flood mode on. Its great for walking at night or doing chores around camp and a little more comfortable.
Used it while catfishing in a torrential downpour, no leakage or water issues at all.

Comments about Black Diamond Spot Headlamp:
Positively in love with this headlamp. I love that you can adjust the brightness and angle of the beam, that it has two white light options, and a red light option. No strobe as far as I know, but I never wanted or needed a strobe. It surprised me with how bright it is, too - in fact, it still does, sometimes.
And on top of all this, it's got beautiful colors (I got the red one).
I can't speak to the battery life, but I do get the impression my lamp is wearing out as it grows older in the sense that it seems to require new batteries ever-so-slightly more often. My primary complaint is that the headband has stretched out so much - not sure what I'll do once it's finally too loose! That being said, I've been able to tighten it as needed, and still have some space to tighten the band, should it get looser.
Please note that I have had this lamp for TWO YEARS and while it's only seen moderate to heavy outdoor activity for one of those years, I still use it on a regular basis just because it's so incredibly useful. In short, most of the issues I've had seem to be the result of its old age.
Oh, and one more issue: I tend to put it on upside down pretty much all the time, which I don't realize until I try to tilt the light, and can't. I'm not sure why this is, though.

I use it to tinker with watches. Frees up my hands. The light is bright. I like the fact it uses 3 AAA batteries. I can use it about 6 hours before it starts getting dim. It is functional. The tilt mechanism works well; and is handy. It is small enough I can carry it in my bibs front pocket. For what I use it for it works fine.

Bought for a trip to Moab and it worked great. The dimmer function worked well, though everytime you turn it one it goes to full power.

A great light for use at night for hands free convenience. I use it for wildlife research at night and it has consistently performed flawlessly. Plus the red light is very helpful when writing on data sheets or in my journal without blowing out my night vision. A fantastic product!

I used this product on a car-camping road trip through UT/AZ/CO and it worked great, just couldn't really get it to be comfortable on my head...
