From BobWards.com:
A great ultralight backup light, the new Ion is small enough to stash just about anywhere, plus the reflector-housed, 1/2 watt LED casts a far-reaching beam for finding your way up that final pitch of 5.11 or down that last mile back to the trailhead. Our lightest headlamp at 30 grams (1 oz), the Ion has a pivoting head that angles the light anywhere you need it, and a replaceable 6-volt battery provides power for 15 hours at the low setting and 3 hours on high. Yes, the Ion is unnoticeable in size and weight, but don`t let its diminutive size fool you -- this two-setting headlamp is Black-Diamond-tough, able to withstand apocalyptic levels rain and sleet.

From Travel Country:
The Black Diamond Ion Headlamp is equipped with a SuperBright reflector-housed LED for close-range lighting and is a great backup or emergency light that can be stashed just about anywhere. Imagine a headlamp that's so light you aren't even aware of its presence. A lamp that can be stored in a chalkbag or shirt pocket. A lamp that's simply lilliputian—yet provides a fully functional light source. Seem impossible? Not to the Ion, Black Diamond's lightest headlamp at only 30 grams. Extremely tiny and lightweight, this LED lamp provides enough light for those final hours of climbing and backcountry needs, plus it has no excess volume. The Black Diamond Ion Headlamp is an essential lamp for every adventure... be sure you've got one.
