Very simple, straight to the point headlamp, got everything I was expecting. Good satisfying switch with two positions: on/off. Plenty of light, used this on a safari in africa where we had no electricity, got me around camp perfectly. I used consistently for 2 weeks, 3-5 hours a day and didn't need to replace batteries, nor did I notice any dimness over that period. headband fit both me and my wife securely and comfortably.

I actually have the takterra, same thing but it has a flip down red lens. This lamp has served in multiples combat tours in Iraq and has been completely reliable. Battery life is ultra long, I think In the past year I have changed them once.

Cant go wrong

This one is just fine but I like the 4 lamp version better. It has variable settings and is brighter. Both are great lights and are light enough for my 4 year old to use comfortably.

This little guy is easy to pack and useful in so many situations. From reading in bed at night, playing cards at night at the campsite, or heading out to the bathroom, this will light the way while keeping your hands free. When you're wearing it, you can tell it's there (a little on the heavy side) and the strap will leave a mark after while. It's the economical way to go and will get the job done. Petzl is a great brand and won't let you down.

For those who want to spluge, I'd recommend the Tikka version -- more lighting options, additional range of motion on the light itself, and a little less bulky (Petzl E93 PS Tikka 2 Headlamp, Storm Gray or Petzl E97 PM Tikka Plus 2 Headlamp, Mystic Gray).

It has a nice bright light. I use it when I walk my dogs at night, when I'm crawling around in the attic, when I'm doing electrical work and need good close up light. The only thing I wish it had is a plastic cap over the 2 little lights because I'm so careless I'm afraid I'll break the bulbs. Also, I used to have one that I bought at Big Box Orange Logo home improvement store that had the capacity to tilt the light in any direction up or down. I really love that feature and this light doesn't have it. That is why i gave it a 4.

I'm glad I got this headlamp. Power went out this weekend for three hours...was able to get around and even cooked dinner on the gas stove!

I bought this for my wife as a stocking stuffer. We finally went camping and I was the only one who used it. It works great, and it's nice to have both hands free when walking at night. It seems very durable, and the 2-LED system is sufficient. Also, I like the adjustable tilt of the beam.

As an aside: I think my wife thinks I look like a tool when wearing it around. That's OK, it's more about function over form.

This unit is light and comfortable. It also provides very powerful light...sometimes. I find that mine tends to flicker from bright to dim (shaking it has no real effect on whether it is bright or dim). Also, the light is too diffuse to be of real use in an outdoor situation (ie, getting in the woods early in the morning before that big buck runs by your stand). Though, I primarily bought this for reading in bed, for which it works well (when the light is not flickering). For outdoor use, look elsewhere.

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine. It is perfect for running the streets after dark. It provides enough light to see any hazards in time to avoid them.

was looking for a basic headlamp for my seven year old for a camping trip, and this seemed to be just the thing. has good range. he hds a little trouble finding the sliding on/off switch - a button might be easier - but for this price i was very happy with this purchase.
