Tiny power

For its size, this headlamp has great distance. The beam is pretty focused, and the brightest setting can hold its own while moving/hiking in the dark. No other headlamp this size that I have compares in distance. However, despite its waterproof claim, I had it in my pack (which floats, so it was never deeper than a foot or so underwater) for 13 hours in a canyon, and water seeped in to short out the 'on switch' and burn out my batteries. After drying out, it was fine, but a real bummer when I actually needed it to be waterproof. Also, the light beam is not very wide, so combined with its exceptional brightness I tend to be able to see only one area of a trail/campsite and become pretty nightblind to the surroundings. Even when reading in a tent, the light seems almost too bright when on its lowest setting. But who am I to complain about a light that's too bright'? It's small and works great, bottom line.
