Best Peripheral Lighting

This headlamp has the best range of vision of any headlamp that I have used. I have several headlamps for caving and I would have to say that this is my favorite. The range is not quite as good as a 3 watt LED, as the Princeton Tec Apex has, but it is pretty comparable. I highly recommend this headlamp for any activity.
