Princeton Tec Apex Pro Headlamp

A brite light with hightec features to cool the bulb and battery savings.

These lights are awesome. The pro and con is battery life. It's good on the second brightest setting but poor on high. But that's life! There are no lights that last a long time when they are this bright. But, the second brightest setting is great for caving. The light pattern is really good too. Make sure to stock up on batteries though. Multi-packs of Surefire and similar on line are $1.25 to 2.50 each - Duracell at [@] are $5 ea! [@] has 2 pks for 5 bucks in the flashlights (not where the batteries are sold).

Pretty good head lamp. I would recommend this to anybody that needs a quality headlamp to rely on in the back country.

Throws off a lot of light. Handy to have around just for working in dark places. Lighter then the four "AA" cell version.

My first apex was accidently flung into a deep fast-moving creek, stayed "on" the entire night, and I was not able to retrieve it. I purchased this hoping it was the same 190 Lumen model that I had previously; unfortunatly, it is not. If your looking for a good general purpose headlamp that is built tough (an proven waterproof), this model will serve you well. If you are hoping to use your lamp for adventure racing, nightime bike riding, or orienteering, I would suggest you look into the 190 lumen model--once you have that kind of power its difficult to go without.

I'm amaized as to how bright this unit is.

I have used Princeton Tec products for years while dogsledding. I am retired from that now, but I wish I would have had this headlamp then!

I already had the Apex and loved it except for its weight and bulk. The Apex Pro is less than half the weight and just as bright. Batteries won't last as long, but I accept that tradeoff.

Powerful little light! Great for hiking into that special fishing spot before the flyfishers float down to it. Great to use around the house, in the attic or crawlspace, keeps your hands free. First one I purchased the hinge broke. This one has a more durable hinge. Looks like they improved on it. Love this light!

I own an Apex Pro & love it, however, it's the only headlamp I've owned, but do have friends that have other subpar headlamps to compare to. I use it almost everyday & it's bright, durable, has a long battery life, and works great in water (salt water). I just bought 3 more as gifts for friends that work at a campground & they'll be using them often everyday during hard work & even in the ocean while night fishing. The Princeton Tec Apex Pro Headlamp is a great headlamp.
