My little love lamp

The main reason I bought this headlamp was to be able to find my horse out in a huge pasture at night. I wasn't sure if this little headlamp would get it done, but it has.

This is the brightest headlamp I've ever had. The beam on the main bulb is wide, and long. I am able to get a much broader picture of my surroundings than "ok, is there a tree in front of me?"

My complaint is that the button on top is very firm, and it takes quite a bit of effort to squish it down. Maybe it will loosen as I use it more.

Another concern is this: while backpacking with a friend, we discovered we both had Spot headlamps. His gave off about as much light as holding a candle in front of you would. He has had his 2 years...
I don't know what they claim the longevity of this headlamp is, but that kind of shocked me.

All in all, I am very happy I chose this over the Tekka (which I have and use daily at wotk) for my personal use. I hope it lasts forever!
