The Black Diamond Wiz Kid Headlamp is a simple way to give kids more independence once it gets dark. It’s bright enough for real use—finding the bathroom, moving around camp, reading in a tent—but not so powerful that it becomes a problem when it inevitably gets pointed at someone’s face. The diffused light helps with that as well, making it easier on the eyes up close. The design is forgiving. It works even if kids put it on upside down, and it’s built to handle being dropped or handled roughly. The auto shutoff is a small but useful feature that saves the battery when they inevitably forget to turn it off.
