A few months ago i bought myself the Energizer Vision HD+ 315 Lumens headlight with spot light, flood light and red light (night vision) function. It runs for about 6 hours (High) and has a 85meters beam distance with pivot light and it's water-resistant. Price was around $35. Best head light ever made and i'm very pleased and satisfied with this head light.

For UL backpacking the Nitecore NU25 is hard to beat. All the features you need, good (rechargeable) battery life, and super lightweight (0.9 on my scale for the body, and 0.8 for the strap), or about 2/3 as much as the UL pick in this video. If you make a DIY strap, you can shave it down to about 1.2 oz total weight.

I do too but these headlamps are so you can easily get a hold of batteries at any convenience store. Plus the 18650 batteries need special care, storage, and certain flashlights may require flat tops vs button tops.

I'm sorry but the best headlamp at REI is 500 lumens and rechargeable. Look in the Fenix HM 50R, hands down the best headlamp I've used, petzel and black diamond don't come near the quality and bang for your buck. 60$ out the door

The actik core sucks if it gets wet it will never run again. Dropped the headlamp in the lake and immediately retrieved it in 6inches of water. The core never worked again. Not worth the $$$ in my opinion.

I’ve had my Storm in pouring rain and accidentally submerged at least once. Still works like new...I don’t doubt that you had an issue, but REI and BD have great service...
@chrisw3327 3 жыл бұрын
I have a BD Spot 325 and just read a review that mentioned that it's IPX8 rating cannot be correct. I examined mine and i agree. There is no gasket on the battery compartment to prevent water ingress if submerged. I am even unsure how well it would do in a heavy rain storm. On the basis of that, today I bought an Actik Core. It only claims IPX4 and also has no gasket. However, the battery compartment has more corrugation where it joins the backplate, compared to the Spot 325. I have a bit more faith in the Actik Core than the Spot 325 for v wet weather, but only time will tell.

These are much lighter and do not take up as much space as Fenix, Nitecore, Klarus lamps etc
