Black Diamond Megawatt Headlamp is an exceptionally powerful lighting system designed for moving fast after dark. A maximum output of 3000 lumens and an array of six high-output LEDs create an intense beam optimised for night ski touring, skiing, cycling and other activities where terrain needs to be identified well in advance.

The separate rechargeable lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 50.32 Wh. It provides up to four hours of operation at maximum output, while the longest stated runtime reaches 44 hours. An integrated display shows live remaining-runtime information, helping the user select an appropriate output and plan the activity.

The battery supports fast charging through USB-C. Its USB-C output can also be used to recharge a phone or another compatible device. A red safety flasher on the battery improves the user’s visibility from behind.

Two oversized buttons make the main light easy to control while moving and when wearing gloves. The system also includes a wireless remote switch that can be attached to handlebars, a backpack strap or a ski pole. Light settings can therefore be adjusted without reaching for the lamp body.

In addition to the main white beam, Megawatt features a separate red LED producing soft, diffused light. The red mode is useful for close-range tasks when the user does not want to dazzle others or unnecessarily affect their night vision.

The light body weighs only 75 g, while the complete system weighs 480 g. The lamp can be worn with the supplied headband or attached using the universal quick-release action-sports mount. Two adhesive helmet mounts are also included.

The construction meets the IP67 protection rating, making it dustproof and resistant to temporary immersion in approximately one metre of water for 30 minutes. Megawatt is therefore prepared for snow, rain, dust and demanding winter conditions.
