Black Diamond keeps updating it's headlamps there was a recent update and redesign last year but they added new lumens to current devices and updated them probably to compete with new high power headlamps (for example petzl actic or updated tikkas) the main difference is in spotmodel witch has improved flood light and +50% light output they might even use same led but with pop change for higher out put and also there is no sign of regulated output but they have more realistic battery life
Spot
DESCRIPTION
Our go-to headlamp for everything from midweek dawn patrols to all-night rappelling sessions, the Black Diamond Spot now features an incredible 300 lumens of adjustable light with a fully waterproof construction. In addition to its reliable, precise and powerful beam for spotting anchors or trail cairns, the Spot's redesigned lighting profile offers improved peripheral lighting for close-range activities like cooking, reading or sorting gear, while simultaneously increasing the overall brightness. The Spot also features our Brightness Memory, which allows you to turn the light on and off at a chosen brightness without reverting back to full power. Seven different lighting modes, including red night vision, allow for fully custom lighting in any situation, and our PowerTap Technology makes for instant brightness adjustments.
