How we checked
The Black Diamond manufacturer page confirmed this is the exact Spot 400-R rechargeable model (title "Spot 400-R Headlamp", SKU #BD6206760004ALL1, powered by an integrated 1500 mAh BD Li-ion battery with micro-USB charge port — distinct from the AAA-powered "Spot 400" sibling) and stated the MSRP as "Regular price $79.95 USD" plus specs: 400 lm max, 100 m max distance, 225 hr low burntime, 86 g weight, IP67 rating, and red night-vision. NRS corroborated every spec verbatim (400 lumens, 225 hr low / 8 hr med / 4 hr high, 1500 mAh Li-ion, IP67, red night-vision, proximity + distance modes) and confirmed the original $79.95 price. beam type "mixed" reflects the explicitly listed proximity (flood) and distance (spot) modes; reactive lighting is false as the fully enumerated feature/settings list contains no ambient-light sensor mode.
