I've had quite a few headlamps over the years. I hesitated on this one only becausse of the rechargeable battery. BUT, this is the best headlamp I've had. It lasts a long time and charges quickly. Has quite a few features that all work together well. It is fairly small, but powerful.
Great headlamp!
