Megawatt Headlamp delivers ultra-bright, long-lasting light for serious mountain pursuits
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I’ve used the Megawatt Headlamp for alpine starts and nighttime ski tours, and its 3000-lumen max output is seriously impressive. Even on lower settings, it lights up the trail better than most headlamps I’ve tried. The swappable battery system is clutch for long missions, and it’s rugged enough to handle wet, cold conditions without a hiccup."
We trust the Black Diamond Megawatt Headlamp when early alpine starts and late summit pushes call for relentless, high-output lighting. Designed for the most demanding mountain objectives, this headlamp floods the trail, skintrack, or rock face with up to 3000 lumens of clarity, giving us confidence and control when every step counts.
Built for endurance, the Megawatt runs on a rechargeable 14.4V lithium-ion battery and delivers long runtimes—up to 15.75 hours on low. Its robust construction holds up to rugged use, and with an IP67 waterproof rating, we don’t hesitate to take it into foul weather. Whether we’re navigating glaciers or setting up camp after dark, this headlamp is our go-to for mission-critical visibility.
