Developed after rigorous testing while night-climbing on big walls, the Onsight is a purpose-built solution for climbers seeking the next bivi ledge/the top/the descent after sunset. A climber’s desire for simplicity and robustness were built into every aspect of this light from the single button architecture to its fully submersible IP67 waterproof construction.
It has a dual-beam configuration, which provides the two main lighting modes climbers need most. The main Climbing Mode is optimised for illuminating the holds or path directly in front of you with 300 lumens of wide evenly dispersed light that doesn’t glare when you’re looking for the next hold. The secondary Route-Finder Mode adds a powerful, narrow, long-distance beam and increases the total max output to 375 lumens, allowing you to spot belays or search for tracks in the distance. PowerTaptm technology makes it easy to toggle between Climbing and Route-Finder Modesby touching either the right or left side of the front housing.
The Onsight is can be powered with either BD's rechargeable BD 1800 Li-ion battery or with three standard AAA batteries. This is especially useful on longer outings where you can start with the rechargeable and carry AAAs as back up.
The front housing is ultra-thin and has extra articulation built into it allowing you to get close to the wall and still see everything you need to see around you. Finally, at the highest waterproof rating of IP67, this light is fully submersible and dustproof, meaning it’s completely sealed and won’t give up the ghost if you’re caught out in a downpour.
