          Comments about Princeton Tec Fuel 4 LED Headlamp:

          Bought this light to take on the Inca Trail in Peru and when I pulled it out of the suitcase the night before heading out, the hinge on the battery cover was broken. I never even got to use it. Without the battery cover the light won't work. I understand wanting to keep the weight down but making such a flimsy component in such a critical spot seems like a poor design.

          Comments about Princeton Tec Fuel 4 LED Headlamp:

          Not great design since the battery hinge broke in less than a year. Sent back to the manufacturer and looks like they will fix it for free ($2 postage + the hassle). Bright light but it really does not vary much for each of the 3 steady settings. Nice to have a dimmer light setting sometimes. Long battery life but not sure how waterproof it is.

              Comments about Princeton Tec Fuel 4 LED Headlamp:

              I've had this for a year and used ocassionally. The contruction seemed solid, however the clasp for the battery broke.
              There was not a significant diffence in brightness between the 3 brightness settings...they were all 3 very bright. This is annoying when you really wanted dim light.
