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.
