Comments:
Get a near-perfect blend of price, weight, and brightness in this versatile headlamp, which was entirely redesigned for 2008. It has a 1/2-watt LED for spot uses (like routefinding) and two smaller LEDs for proximity uses (reading or cooking). The spot beam reaches 75 feet, with a piercing bulls eye amid a wider-than-average beam, so you can see side trails and tree-tunnel details. The tilt mechanism is secure enough for scrambling and trail running. Burn time: 120 hours on high, although it dims noticeably after 30 hours.
