Black Diamond Bonanza; Random Shots of Beauty
Have you noticed that it’s getting darker in the mornings?
Have you also noticed that your old lighting systems might be in need of an upgrade? If so, Wilderness Running Company is having a Black Diamond Bonanza right now just for you.
The short version is, from now to October 19th, all BD lights are on sale for 25% off. As always, if you use my customary coupon code R&R10, you’ll get an additional 10% off. And if your total purchase is over $50, you get free shipping as well. You'll have a hard time finding a better deal than that.
If you want the long versions, I can help there as well, because I’ve already reviewed all of these items for you. So if you’re interested, the reviews are linked below, with a short update blurb about each:
Black Diamond Spot: I called this the most affordable high-quality lamp available last year, and that was BEFORE they upgraded the lumen capacity from 47 to 60. Your best value by far for basic lighting needs.
Black Diamond Sprinter: The best combination of safety, illumination, and lightweight construction on the market. This is a must for frequent road runners, and best of all, its rechargeable battery makes it very green.
Black Diamond Icon: True story: when I paced Gretchen through the night at Tahoe this summer, I wore the Icon on my head and carried a handheld light. About five hours into the night, I turned off my handheld to see if there was any difference … and I never used it again. The Icon was bright enough to flood out my handheld, and held its charge through the night with no problems whatsoever.
Black Diamond NRG battery pack (see Icon review): I use this all the time in my Icon. It’s lightweight, convenient, super-strong, and Earth-friendly; what more can you ask for?
Pretty good stuff, huh? In particular, the opportunity to grab an Icon plus NRG pack, shipped to your door for just over 60 bucks is a crazy awesome deal – take my word for it. So here are your purchase links from Wilderness Running Company:
Black Diamond Spot: on sale for $30
Black Diamond Sprinter: on sale for $60
Black Diamond Icon: on sale for $45
Black Diamond NRG pack: on sale for $22
Remember to use code R&R10 for another 10% off. Prices are good until October 19th.
And since it’s the weekend, here’s your Random Shot of Beauty:

Do you know if the BD spot headlamp sold at Wilderness Running Company,is 2010 upgraded model? I couldn't tell by reading the specs on their website.
Thanks, Eddy
Beautiful shot Donald. I won't be able to buy a lamp now, but I'll keep these in mind when I do. Have a great weekend!
Anon: Stacy (the owner) told me that they are the updated Spots. You can contact him directly: stacy@wildernessrunning.com

Speaking of random shots, how about random comments - I am still getting through the new Runner's World and noticed that you are quoted on page 67! At least, I think its you. I am pretty sure about the Donald and Carmel Valley parts but not as sure about the rest. Anyways, I was happy to be reading and think, I know who that is!
Oh, and I won the Spot from R&R last December and it is still treating me very well, thanks for all the giveaways.
