purdy good

I think I must have this headlamp in an older model - same name, same general appearance, but only 3 LEDs instead of 4. It's a nice little headlamp for the price. I already owned a headlamp (Petzl Tikka 2) when I got this one for free, so this puppy stays in my car with fresh batteries or gets lent out to friends. The lamp is cheapish and you get what you pay for, so I'm not surprised to hear of other reviewers' problems with the battery cover breaking. I've yet to encounter any problems with mine - though admittedly, I haven't used it in particularly trying conditions. From a side-by-side comparison it's fairly easy to tell that the Tikka 2 is a higher-quality product, but the Fuel has its advantages, like the fact that you can remove the headband from the lamp (which makes it easier to clean or replace).
