Good headlamp with only one minor problem
Yes , I recommend this product
I've been using this headlamp for a couple years. Geat features. However, one problem I've run into several times is that one of the clips manages to fall off the band while carried in its bag. Figuring out how to reloop it often requires looking up the instructions. I have solved this problem by using twist tie around the band when it is in the bag.

Never need another or find another company as good
Yes , I recommend this product
I bought this similar product years ago hower i lost it and had to replace it. The older model i believe did not have the option to place normal batteries in it although i could be mistaken as i never need to use them. When i had 2 small issues Petzl customer service was wonderful they replaced the parts free and helped me fit them over the phone. I use this lamp on low to read just about every night for years and had the same rechargeable battery for 0ver 3 years. I found that the light would run for 4 days about 4 days on one charge and would charge fully quickly. I can not praise this company enough for the quality of their product and the tremendous customer service .

Would avoid
No, I do not recommend this product
Aweful. And that’s coming from a petzl user for 15yrs. Rechargeable batteries suck and the headlamp has stopped working on 2 out of the 3 that I have bought. Horrible cold weather performance on both AAA and the rechargeable, if you’re doing anything near 0* count on this thing not working. Finally if you have the rechargeable battery if you leave it in the headlamp it will deplete the battery over time so have to flip the battery until you actually need it. My 10yr old tolls is more reliable than the core has been.
