Situational headlamp

Had my Soliras for about 2 years now and for the most part am happy with the purchase.
Pros: seriously bright zenon bulb; lithium ion battery and car charger is killer; LEDs for around camp
Cons: battery pack is clunky, wish it had a more streamlined case design; heavy; reflector could use some tweaking.
I mainly use this when winter hiking/camping or when guiding a trip. Main light is crazy bright, only real beef is the weight. Bought a lighter lensed LED headlamp for summer/trail running.
