Housed in a reflector, the one-watt LED throws a far-reaching beam—plenty strong enough for pre-dawn approaches or route finding during a through-the-night single push. When all you need is close-range light, switch modes and use the three proximity LEDs, which emit ambient light for more than 140 hours. A single switch on top lets you choose from four lighting levels for both modes—min, mid, max and strobe—to dial-in the light output to your needs. The batteries-up-front design works great for reading when you’re tent-bound while waiting for a weather window.

NEW VERSION UPDATED

The headlamp does have a tiltable housing and comes with batteries. The tech specs must be from a much older version. Headlamp is super bright! The hyperbright bulb and superbright leds both have 3 brightness settings and a strobe. So far the headlamp is the best buy. Only con is it does not come with a carrying case.

Great product

This is the second one that is in use in our family! It is a great light with no complaints. It has been used at night for mechanic work, changing water on the farm and for camping. The headlamp is adjustable which is a great feature.

Nice Weight Saver.

I've been using this lamp for about 3 years now and I have no complaints. I do a good amount of night hiking and I notice that with this lamp I am usually the one who breaks trail at night. There might be a handful of brighter LED lamps out there now, but none of them compare in weight. Like Stormking, I also tried lithium batteries to save a bit more weight but noticed decreased performance and battery life over conventional batteries. Great Headlamp Really.

I've been using this headlamp all summer and love it because of it's brightness and how easily adjustable it is. I constantly have people asking to borrow my headlalmp at night because their headlamp isn't as bright as mine.

great headlamp. super bright.

WOW!

Jeff Gerhard at Backcountry.com on 11/18/2008

This amazing headlamp is the best of both worlds, a super bright 1 watt LED spot plus three smaller, powerful .5 watt LED's. I installed 3 AAA lithium batteries instead of the included alkaline to reduce overall weight. As an added bonus, the SPOT fits in the Petzl clam shell case for added protection. Three brightness settings for both modes to conserve battery life. I love it!

Doesn't get much better than this

What more could you want out of a headlamp? Easy to use, very bright, 3 brightness settings, 2 different lighting options, and it comes with batteries. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

great!

Great Head Lamp

Albert Burnham at Backcountry.com on 11/18/2008
Rated: *****
This is a great head lamp. The focused led lets you clearly see out to 150 feet and the light goes even farther than that. The three luminary leds are great for sheading light over a large area at your feet. I got mine without instructions but soon discovered that if you depress the switch halfway the lights will individually cycle through three brightness settings that make this thing great for battery life. The head band is comfortable and the light is not so heavy that it makes your head feel off balanced when you are walking down the trail or working on your dinner. The light is made of plastic so I wouldnt go chucking it around but it seems pretty durable. My biggest quam with leds is the fact that you can never seem to see very far with them, the light gets there but you cant make out what you are seeing. This light casts a focused beam that makes even far away objects look clear so I am completly satisfied with this lamp.
