Review: Ultra Durable Headlamp - I have owned several headlamps, ranging from cheapies that can be found at Wal-Mart to more durable brands such as Petzl and Black Diamond but, this was my first headlamp from Streamlight. I opted for Streamlight because I wanted something more durable and reliable and I Streamlight has delivered. In not so rare cases, my Petzl's have to be shaken in order to get the light to come on, due to losse contacts with the batteries. I have not had this issue with Black Diamond or Streamlight. This Streamlight headlamp has four different lights: White Light (normal), Red Light (to conserve your night vision), Blue Light (for tracking blood at night, useful for hunters or perhaps military application), and IR Light (to be used in conjunction with Night-Vision optics). Change between lights by pulling out a knob, turning it, and letting it drop back into place. In addition, each light has four brightness levels (1-4) : I find White Light to be useful on Setting 3 and Setting 4 levels, while the other lights need to be on the 4th Setting, to be of any use, as they are not bright enough on lower settings. This is acceptable, for my application, which is mostly hiking or camping. To change brightness levels, press and hold the one and only button and let go when the desired brightness level is observed. Whatever brightness level is set, will be remembered, when you power on the headlamp, again. (to power on or off, press the one and only button, once for ~1 second, then let go) Another kudos to this headlamp design is the single-large button, to power on and off the device. Many modern headlamps have several smaller buttons which can make them somewhat difficult to operate, especially in low or no-light situations. This headlamp follows the KISS method, and that is a plus, in my book. This headlamp also comes with a helmet mount, which I would imagine is useful for military application but not very useful for civilian use. A head-strap is included, for non-helmet wear, around the head or hat/cap. The only negative remark I can give for this headlamp is the comfortability, when work on the provided strap, around the head. The headlamp itself, has no padding on the area which will make contact with your head, on the back side of the strap, which is somewhat uncomfortable. To circumvent this, one could simply wear this headlamp with a hat or cap. (or perhaps add your own padding, with foam and hot-glue, if you're feeling crafty) The CR123 Lithium batteries are used, which I already stock in plenty due to using them on various lights, lasers, and optics. You can find these batteries on desertcart, in bulk, for a good price, or over-priced at various local stores. The operators manual recommends Lithium batteries, only. While others may work, they will not provide as many lumens of brightness, nor will they last very long. Despite the comfort level, I would still recommend this headlamp to anyone who is looking for a more durable and reliable product, and is not put off by the higher price point. You get what you pay for.
Review: The best tactical lamp set I've ever had!!! - Had it for a month now and using daily. It does everything what they say it does and more. They say it works with CR123 and AA batteries...wrong. It works with CR123, AA and AAA batteries. Of course the run time is shorter with AA and even shorter with AAA but if in sticky situation and that's all you have, you get out of the pickle. Helmet mount works like a charm. Very light wearing on your head (I wear it mostly strapped to my belt; you don't even notice it's there) and considering the competition has some stronger and brighter lamps, this is enough. You don't need all these lumens in the dark...unless you do some search-and-rescue on a really big landscape. In tactical terms you have to use less light to keep yourself concealed from the enemy anyways. Having blue, red and IR is awesome. Have dropped it by accident few times on concrete...good as new. Love this lamp!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent, Compact, Multifunctional!
*by O***S on September 7, 2016*

This professional little light is small enough to keep out of the way as well as light weight, but bright enough to use when you need it. The construction is solid. The Red, Blue and IR light work properly. It comes with a well built 16 position/direction mount that stays where you put it as well as a elastic strap mount. The battery enclosure has a decent rubber seal to keep basic moisture out. The light is bright enough when fully lit to accomplish anything I need. The distance is reasonable for the size of the LED. Great buy, great price!
