Good solid basic headlamp

This is a good headlamp. It is solid and the removable battery packs are a nice touch. It is very bright, though it doesn't seem to have the same illuminating power as the xenon bulb headlamps I've used in the past (although batteries last many times longer when running an LED than they do with a xenon bulb). I have not used this lamp enough to comment on the battery life, but the mechanics and ergonomics of it are good, and it is lightweight, comfortable, and sturdy.
