    The Princeton Tec Fred headlamp lights up the trail with 45-lumen white flood beam, and it has a red LED to preserve your night vision when you're around camp.

    • Fred headlamp always turns on the red-light mode so you won't ruin your night vision; hold down the push button to switch between the 1 red LED or the 3 ultrabright white LEDs
    • 3 ultrabright white LEDs throw a flood beam up to 35m on high and 20m on low; red LED reaches 10m on high and 8m on low
    • 3 AAA batteries (included) provide 180 hrs. of run time with the red LED on low and 145 hrs. with the white LEDs on low
    • Switch to high and the batteries give you 100 hrs. with the red LED and 74 hrs. with the white LEDs
    • Single-arm ratcheting head pivots up and down, providing a wide range of motion so you can aim the beam wherever you need it most
    • Large push-button switch is easily operated while wearing gloves
    • The Princeton Tec Fred headlamp has a water-resistant design

    Made in USA.

    Comments about Princeton Tec Fred Headlamp:

    This is the same format as the Princeton Tec Fuel, but has 1 red LED and 3 white.

    I found this headlamp to be perfect for astronomy as well as naked-eye observing, because it turns on in the red mode always, but started using it for everything.

    I quickly began to value the red-light on feature (no blinding yourself when you need to fumble for the toilet paper at 3 AM), so much so that I wonder why that sort of thing, or at least turning the light on in low mode, aren't standard...

    It does alright for walking around at night on wide paths or well-mainted trails, but if I was to do heavier night hiking I would be taking either a hand-held high-power flashlight or a more powerful headlamp.

    It gets 5 stars from me because, frankly, it is perfect for what I use it for, and I don't expect unrealistic things from products.
