Okay, I'm not letting this thread die. For anyone still wondering if these flashlights are really all they are cracked up to be, let me say that they are INCREDIBLE.
I have a surefire G2 (the very bright Halogen one) that runs about $50. It uses the expensive batteries and has a 60 continuous use life. I didn't think there were more than a couple other flashlights out there that could compare for less than $100.
These new headlamps put that thing to shame! It WAAAY brighter, and only $9! I shined it down the street last night looking for my dog when he ran out and it was as bright as a 1 million candle spotlight! And the zoom focus feature can put that spot to light up stuff at least a couple hundred yards away. And then it goes to the broad beam for lighting everything up close. I'd buy 100 more of these things if I could justify needing that many.
I'm definately buying the bigger Mag light sized one.
