Head lamp

[duece71]

Should I go for broke and spend the $$$ on a nice Surefire saint or minimus or save the $$$ and get a Streamlight. Lamp will be used for camping, hiking, SHTF, power outage.
Thanks.

I've used Petzls overseas and camping. Never had a single problem with them. The best place I've found to look at them is REI. You can really figure out what features you need, how easy they are to utilize before dropping the coin.

+1 for petzl. Suits all your NEEDS while you figure out just how you want to indulge (surefire).

All,
Petzl looks nice and is probably more of what I need. Resonable prices as well. Thanks for the replies.

Check your local Dick's Sporting Goods the stores locally here carry both Petzl and Princeton Tec, I believe you can get into either light for less than $ 25.00 bucks.

No worries,

I'm sure it will fit your needs without spending undue ammo funds!!

Petzl is the way to go. And get a second just in case you break one.

I got a streamlight one day when someone stole my flashlight out of my work truck. It was $17. I didn't expect it to last very long but I used it everyday for about 4 months on the low and high setting and im still on the same set of AAA batteries. Its been beat up and soaked, hot and cold.

Its not the strongest plastic but I wouldn't hesitate to buy another ever.

Energizer brand has some small light headlamps. Nice to have around.

I had one in my car, that just went dead when the car battery went dead saturday night.
My wife was in my in-laws place, so, my BIL lent a hand to jumpstart the car.

The event just reminded me of the importance to CHECK the stuff I buy for emergencies.

Princeton Tec, I'm pretty sure they're made in the USA. The Remix Pro MPLS has 75 lumens and a variety of mounting options.
