Petzl Myolite 3 Headlamp
Outdated technology
By ErkMD
Ranked #53 - Headlamps
June 17, 2009
Do not waste your money or time on this headlamp. Simply outdated technology. It uses an incandescent bulb as the primary light source and has 3 dim cruddy LEDs. Incandescents first of all get very warm, eat batteries, filament can break, and cannot provide the light output of newer LED technology based on similar battery configurations. While at one point this light was relatively nice, it is archaic techonology.
Bottom line, go with a newer high-end LED headlmap. LEDs are much more efficient on all fronts and now LEDs exist that can out perform the once superior incandescent.
