    Built to withstand bad weather and cold temperatures, the Princeton Tec Apex™ Extreme LED headlamp unleashes a bright beam to meet the needs of mountaineers, adventure racers and backpackers.

    • Apex Extreme features a compact battery pack that houses 8 AA alkaline batteries (included) and can be clipped to your waist or backpack to minimize the weight on your head
    • In cold weather, put the battery pack in a pocket or wear it under clothing to increase the efficiency and run time of alkaline batteries
    • Intense 3-watt LED with optimized lens casts a powerful 200 lumens of output; beam illuminates objects up to 96m away
    • 3-watt LED combined with the Princeton Tec optimized lens/collimator maximizes the beam by balancing long throw with flood light
    • 4 standard 5mm LEDs surround the 3-watt LED for softer light with extended battery life
    • Select from 2 lighting levels on both the 3-watt and standard LEDs to meet your lighting needs; features a flashing emergency strobe
    • Power-regulated circuit board ensures consistent lighting levels even as battery power is reduced
    • Apex Extreme LED headlamp provides 2.5 hrs. of regulated light and 100 hrs. of total burn time with the 3-watt LED on high
    • Get up to 200 hrs. of burn time with the 5mm LEDS on low
    • Proprietary heat sink technology prevents light from getting too hot and damaging the LEDs
    • Princeton Tec Apex Extreme is designed to work with alkaline, lithium or rechargeable batteries

    Imported.

        Comments about Princeton Tec Apex Extreme LED Headlamp:

        I bought this light to use in Nicaragua on a veterinary spay-neuter mission trip. We were working without surgery lights and this headlamp came through perfectly. It will throw surgical quality illumination out there for about 20 surgeries. It was, therefore, a very important tool for this trip. In fact, I would not do this type trip without it. Love it.

        Comments about Princeton Tec Apex Extreme LED Headlamp:

        I use headlamps for multiple purposes, caving, camping, climbing, working on the car, working in the basement, working in the mine, and military use. I have owned several; some that are brighter, but have large batteries, short life, or just expensive to use(sure fire's). Overall this headlamp is brighter than most, has an exceptional battery life, and due to its operation on all types of AA batteries(lithium, alkaline, rechargeable) It is inexpensive and simple to use on long trips; I often use rechargeable with a solar panel( you lose some power, but it is a long term system without waste).
        I would only make one improvement, the external battery pack is in a heavy duty nylon pack with a softer plastic casing inside. I would like to see a more durable casing with a rubberized pack to increase water-proofness, I am often in water up to my chest and wear the pack on my belt or chest.
        Overall a good, durable lamp that will not disappoint.
