Reviews overview
What do you think about that?
This is what other customers say:
Has various light settings (incl. red, for in huts). The brightest setting is bright enough for night hiking/ski touring (but not fast sports, e.g. MTB). The batteries seem to last really long. Compact and lightweight.

I bought this as a replacement for an old and really cheap Energizer that worked nicely but wasn't very bright.
What I liked about it:
Very bright in mid and high beam modes.
Low is good enough for the tent.
Convenient to have red led.
Operation! I don't like tap controls. One big button to cycle through the modes is more than enough, especially if you are wearing gloves. It will always start in the low setting and cycle to mid and high. That makes a lot more sense than others that start in high or last used.
What I don't like:
Doesn't seem very water resistant
The button can be a bit fiddly to press
The head hand is really easy to adjust but it won't stay in position when you take it off your head, so I usually had to readjust it every night.
Bottom line, I'm very happy with the product and would recommend it.
