Princeton Tec Yukon HL Headlamp - 2007

The Princeton Tec Yukon HL Headlamp stomps incandescent bulbs for both brightness and battery life. Trail running at night? Turn on the super-bright beam of Princeton Tec's 1-watt Maxbright LED. Navigating around your tent's guylines? No problem. A ring of three Ultrabright LEDs surrounds the big boy for soft proximity lighting when you don't need to blind people three campsites away. Looking for a place to pull your kayak out at the end of a long day? Don't sweat it. The Yukon's waterproof so you can keep it in your deck rigging.

Bottom Line: With its long-lasting LEDs, the Princeton Tec Yukon HL Headlamp gives you a reliable hands-free lighting source for all your backcountry adventures.

Photo and description inaccurate

OK, I just ordered two of these.
The battery pack has a LONG power cord (5') attaching it to the headlamp, making it great to wear the battery pack on your belt, life jacket strap, wherever.
Having the battery pack on the headlamp straps themselves is a bit awkward as you have to coil up the cable to make it work.
It just happens that I like the feature of the extended cord, but if you don't, then you might try another lamp.

When wearing the battery pack attached to the headlamp, what

When wearing the battery pack attached to the headlamp, what do people recommend doing with the FIVE feet of cord? Is the a convenient and compact way to deal with the cord???

I know someone who winds it tightly around itself and uses a thick rubberband to secure excess cord to itself, or the battery pack depending on the situation. i've also seen him stuff some cord down the neck of his shirt... simple, but effective.

The light intensity on the long distance function was not as bright as I would have liked. The close range 3-LED function was nice for reading or close proximity use.

What turned me off the most was the huge battery pack and the exceptionally long cord. The light would be impractical, at best, to use as a headlamp with the battery pack attached to the straps. It is better suited to mounting the battery pack in a daypack or somewhere other than your head.

Overall I was less than impressed with this product.

The long cord is actually pretty useful for cold weather operations where one might need to keep the battery pack warm inside their clothes.

Friggin' amazing

I've got a pile of headlamps because I'm a nerd, but the Yukon HL is the standby one that I keep coming back to because it's just so darn good at everything. The high beam is blinding out to about 30-ish feet, and the triple ring of little LEDs fills nicely without being quite so horrifyingly bright.

I love having short and long range options on the same lamp. If you change the batteries before a multi-week trip you can forget about them until you're back home. It's tough as heck too. I've been bashing it around inside hardcases, backpacks, and pockets for years, and have dropped it a stream, down a rocky embankment, and onto about a hundred different kinds of dirt. It's still going strong.
