My go to headlamp. I have the newest version which boasts 130 lumens on the highest setting. The lowest setting works great for around camp, cooking, reading, etc. I rarely use the highest setting in order to conserve batteries. However, if you got stuck on the trail or river after dark the high setting could be a life saver (dont ask how I know). As one other reviewer mentioned, look for the 6 or 12 packs of surefire batteries as they are the best value. I have had no problems with breakage. I run lithium AA batteries in my gps and they are as much or more than the cr123 batteries. All of my other gear uses the cr123s. Once you use lithium batteries you wont go back.
