Princeton Tec Apex 3 watt LED Headlamp Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)*** New Model Alert! ***

There is a new model revision, which DOUBLES the light output from 60 lumens (which is good out to +/- 70yards) to 130 Lumens (good out to +/- 120yrds). This goes for all apex models (the AA model, the CR123 model here and the external battery pack model)

As of December '08, there are a lot of resellers trying to dump the older model, which are selling in the $60-$70 price range. The newer model is selling for around $90. If a reseller's advertisement doesn't list it as the "New 130 Lumen" model, then it probably isn't. The only way to determine which version you are holding in your hand is to look for the "130 Lumen" sticker on the retail box, and the model number, which is now "APXR" (it was APX on the older model).

Here is a link to Princeton Tec's current Apex page: http://www.princetontec.com/?q=node/68

If you can't find the new one here at Amazon, check out Lighthound.

IMO, Spend the extra $20 to get the higher Lumen model. It will allow you to leave you high-output flashlight at home and just use this light for all your daily outdoor adventure needs. With the older model, I always carried a second flashlight of at least 120 Lumens (preferably around 200) for long range spotlight needs. This new model takes care of almost all my spot needs now, so it really does double duty and is well worth the extra $20 or so.

As for which model to get (AA or CR123), it comes down to if you have any other CR123 flashlights (I have 5 of them), or if you are weight sensitive (this one is light, the AA model is kind of heavy!). If I didn't have any other CR123 devices, I'd probably live with the weight of the AA model, since you can buy bulk AA's at Costco or Sam's Club for very cheap.

SIGMA HEADLED LED Head Lamp (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I can't say enough about how comfortable this head light is.

The well selected color temp of these LED's provides comfortable yet well defined light intensity, oh did I mention that the wide headband provides
a larger surface area to distribute the headband pressure and does it so
well that it's hard to imagine a more comfortable headband, I won't quibble about the light adjustment because the comfort of the headband makes me forget about any minor flaw (if any) the light adjustment is stiff, but given the long view, wouldn't you rather have a hard to move adjustment than one that is easy, but becomes looser and essentially useless over time?

Anyway, I like this so much I'm buying a couple more before someone notices and raises the price!
