90 Lumens
By Gone Fishing
Ranked #4 - Headlamps
December 21, 2010
This was my main headlamp and is very bright producing 90 lumens. I have since switched to the Princeton Tec Apex which is 130 lumens. I now use this as my backup light and it works out well since they both take "AA" batteries.
Very dependable light that has never failed me. Tends to be a little on the heavy side with the 3 batteries. Buttons are easy to access and battery life is good. Multiple modes.
