Princeton Tec Corona Headlamp

Holy versatility, Batman! The Princeton Tec Corona Headlamp has eight—count ‘em, EIGHT—super bright white, shock-resistant, virtually unbreakable wide angle LED's. You can switch between 8, 5, 3, or 1 LEDs to get just the right amount of light. Princeton Tec designed these regulated bulbs to deliver an even distribution of light, which reduces eye fatigue and increases peripheral vision. The Corona has an innovative circuit system that allows you to fine-tune the brightness of each of its four modes. This makes the Corona a great hands-free lighting choice for all of your outdoor needs—from camping to climbing, to pitch-dark hikes.

Bottom Line: An inferno of LED's for broad area lighting makes the Princeton Tec Corona the ultimate headlamp for work, trail, and around camp.

This is the one.

This is the one for you kayak people... or most. I am a researcher type person. Batteries in the unit + water= eventual crap out. The batteries should be in the back as this unit has. Many onliners complain about the head lamp version breaking. This unit is all LED and provides plenty of light. Another complaint is the head band units with no head strap. This unit has one.

Okay... so I know my stuff... right? I was out on the surf in my kayak and I have just about everything tethered. I took off my lamp as the sun came up.... a huge wave came out of the inlet from a Sunday boater in a hurry.... my yak got rocked and my headlight went flying into the deep blue sea. ha ha True story. I am reordering ... but next time I am going to tether it to my life vest.

I like that this headlamp has a variety of lighting modes, but

I like that this headlamp has a variety of lighting modes, but I am wondering how dim the single LED is. I am actually looking for a headlamp that has power, but also has a low-light setting.

The Petzl MYO RXP, for example can be used as low as 8 lumens. This would be good for around camp, so as to not blind other people. Does anyone know if the 1 LED setting on the Princeton Tec Corona is dimmer than 8 lumens?

Thanks Jason!

One last question: This site says the headlamp uses 3 AAA Alkaline batteries, but I figure this is a misprint. REI's online site says the headlamp takes 3 AA batteries. Can you verify which batteries this headlamp takes?

The reason I ask is because I want to own two headlamps that use the same batteries, eliminating the need to bring extra AA and AAA batteries on expeditions.

Thanks!

My guess is yes. The Corona has 12 modes from super bright (with all 8 LEDs lit at once on high), to low (one LED lit on low). The two buttons each do their own thing. The larger button switches between modes and the smaller button switches the light from high to low. It is the best proximity (flood) light you can buy. I think it would be excellent for reading or not disturbing you tent mates to blowing them away with the amount of light output it has.

Yeah, it's a super bright light and would definately keep the trail lit while running. But, if you're looking for the best Princeton Tec trail running headlamp, I'd suggest looking at the FUEL - it's smaller and super bright. A great option.

Priceless

This headlamp has saved me so many times. I just got back from a three month trip to Africa. Its been through torrential downpours, knocked around a bag on top of a four wheel drive, through solo night hikes in the bush...and only had to change the batteries once. I would trust this product with my life--and have.

Cool headlamp...(I'm not too sure why I got the yellow one though). It fits comfortably, it's very bright, Works in wet weather, It's the reason I'll never carry a regular flashlight again. If you need a great lamp at a good value, you cant beat the corona.

Very nice headlamp as expected. Easy to operate in the dark. Tried it out a few times here in Maryland prior to it's real purpose - to light up the night while hiking in Peru next month. It will lead the way on our trek to the Inca treasure of Machu Picchu. Thank you.

Awesome head lamp!

I used it on a camping trip. It is very bright on highest setting and lets you adjust the number of LEDs to conserve battery power. I would highly recommend it.
