Used this head lamp for climnbs on Longs Peak in CO and Mt. Rainier in WA. Great illumination for those alpine starts and great for extra light while getting dressed in your tent. Lightweight, durable, and powerful.

Forgot to mention another great feature of this light...it lets you know if the batteries are going through the green/red light that blinks lightly out of the top of the light, by the on/off button. Green means power OK, red means replace. But you can still use it for a while with red light blinking...just be aware that it needs new batteries. Lithium batteries work great in cold but die really fast.

This has served me well in many caves. The ease of having only one LED with a flip up light diffuser has been a blessing Easy to work with gloves on also. It beams bright and far when you need to and also provides a wide area of light when the lens is down. However, mine has recently broken after 2 years of moderate use. Where the wire exits the batt pack the wire became weak and broke in half. Perhaps this issue has been fixed in the 08? I WOULD still buy another as the power to wight/size ratio is great with this lamp.

Lit my way through the night running on some knarly trails.

I just bought it, but did not use it much in real action but the make looks very good, the power efficient and the light clear in the different positions.
