Light, bright. Awkward controls.

The Spot has been my favorite headlamp for many years. It's latest generation is even lighter than its predecessors, and I appreciate the ability to use BD 1500 battery (although having to use separate charger is inconvenient). The problem with the latest Spot is awkward controls. The PowerTap button is very easy to press accidentally, I keep switching brightness when I just want to adjust my hat or glasses. The other two buttons are so close together that operating them in gloves is extremely difficult. Overall, I think my older Spot is more practical. Oh, and Black Diamond, please, use USB-C for charging, don't make me bring micro-USB cable specifically for the headlamp!
