By Hiker Chick from Cambridge, MA on 09/06/2009 Cons: Can't aim beam angle Best Uses: Home use or kids Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought this light as an emergency carry headlamp for backpacking and day hiking. However, several design flaws added to up my returning it and buying another one of the Princeton lights instead. The first, and fatal, flaw was that the headlamp's vertical angle is not adjustable, it is fixed-- a serious problem when the angle of the trail ahead of you is not fixed! The headband also does not continue behind the lamp's body, leaving a rubber square back pressed up against your forehead. I think this would be very uncomfortable when hiking (or sweating) for a long time. The lamp's battery compartment is only covered by the rubber back, which is very easy to get open. I guess this could be a positive or a negative, depending on your intended use. Lastly, the push-button switch was of a type that I was concerned could get pushed on inside a pack, draining the batteries. The case style is also kind of boxy. I returned it. I can imagine it might be a good "easy" headlamp for kids in the backyard or similar, but that's about it.
Can't go wrong with this headlamp. By Ulysses the Great from Los Angeles, CA on 07/26/2009 Pros: Adjustable Beam, Bright, Durable, Long battery life, Stable Best Uses: Car Camping, Day trip, Hiking, Home Use Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Although a bit bulky in comparison to other head lamps, it was comfortable, and lit well. Took two of these on a camping trip to Yosemite and they were very convenient. The elastic band was very easy to adjust, so that my 6 yr old can use it and then re-adjust it himself when passing it on to my 11 yr old. They were also pretty durable, as my kids dropped them a couple of times, without damaging them. They may be too bulky for backpacking, but perfect for car camping and around the house.
It didn't work the way it was advertised By bombaybs from denver,colo on 07/21/2009 Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Only 2 LEDs worked. 3 levels of LEDs were advertised. I was disappointed.
