Blinding Bright
By Gone Fishing
Ranked #4 - Headlamps
December 19, 2010
After reading Nathan's reviews I had to have one of these. I was using the Corona which is a bright light but this thing is amazing. It is so bright that the trail ahead is fully illuminated. I chose this model because of the "AA" batteries.
130 Lumens with (4) AA batteries and the drawback is the weight. This is one of the heavier headlamps that I have used. I would not recommend it for trail running.
