User Review: Black Diamond Zenix IQ

Black Diamond Zenix IQ
Above: The current Zenix IQ, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 3 of 5 stars

Profoundly mediocre headlamp. I've owned pretty much every headlamp on the market. This one is heavy and cumbersome due to its strap system and rear battery mount, does not have a voltage regulator circuit to maintain LED brightness, the 2 LED mode is barely bright enough for the inside of a tent and somewhat dim for stumbling to the cathole at night, and the "high output" LED has a weird beam pattern and isn't as bright as the competition such as the Petzl Tikka XL. All in all it is so mediocre that I sold mine to a newly-minted hiker for $10, which is about all it's really worth. Get the Tikka XL and get a brighter light with better battery life for less weight.
