I purchased a little 30 head lamp from lowes hardware that i throught was ok but wasn't water proof and i use it on the ocean a lot at night. I ordered this light because it was the highest price next to the big $400 jump to get the better one. This lamp is not what i expected. My $30 cheapo head lamp shines twice as bright. The hologen lamp is thungston balanced and is equal to a mini mag light with the factory bulb. I learned the number of LED's dosn't mean brighter. The cheapo i have has 2 leds that work more like spots while this LED lamp is more of a glow to give good light for about 4 or 5 feet in front of you then it fades off quickly. The hologen can be zoomed in like a maglight but that's it, no other fancy features. construction is good but i was expecting more light for the buck.
