Princeton Tec Apex Headlamp

Burns Hot and Fast!

By Ranked #44 - Headlamps May 24, 2009

I have used this lamp for a few years now and love the brightness. The highest setting really lights up the trail. This is a pretty comfortable light for its size. It can be bouncy for running thus leading to motion sickness for some. Without question this light is a battery eater. On the max setting expect no more than 2 hours. I always run with a hand held as well and save the bightest settings for technical downhills. Overall a great headlamp, but for running I would check out the BD and Petzl offerings.
