The strap wants redesigning as the head light wobbles about on your head. With the size of the head light it would be better off fixed to a helmet. Fenix head lamps are good.Been looking at the Clulites like the FL900 3 levels 10watt led 16hrs on low
Hiya Rob,I use a Princeton tec Apex. Not the cheapest headlight but the best I've had.
Had mine for 4 or 5 years now and still going strong.
Run time not the best but easy enough to carry a spare set of AA batteries.
Hi Mark.Hiya Rob,
I also have the same headlight, had mine 6/7 years.
I find the battery life is rather good.
Do you use the spotlight settings a lot ?
I mainly use the lowest setting an still find it a tad bright, though the spotlight settings are great for getting/climbing to a fishing mark.

Had a look at Princeton apex and looks very good but it's only 350 lumens...... compared to the others at 2000 or more ...... and lots more expensive........ like how highly you both regard it just wonder if 350 is enough?Hi Mark.
I usually have it set on the higher of the outside LED settings so in effect high power on the outer lights.
Its not too bad to be fair.
4 batteries usually last a session. I always carry a set of spares though as backup.
Its also in daily use and I use it when shooting also so maybe the batteries just wear quick with me as they get a lot of use.
Cracking lamp though and if this one ever dies it will be replaced by the same one.
Bright enough for anything I could think of using it for.Had a look at Princeton apex and looks very good but it's only 350 lumens...... compared to the others at 2000 or more ...... and lots more expensive........ like how highly you both regard it just wonder if 350 is enough?
Totally agree. Had mine for 15 years or probably more, longest time I’ve owned a headlight.Bright enough for anything I could think of using it for.
Its also bombproof. Been out in the very worst our winter can throw at us and no issues.
Only the low setting needed really when fishing.
If you look around the net CH, they can be had for around 50pounds.Had a look at Princeton apex and looks very good but it's only 350 lumens...... compared to the others at 2000 or more ...... and lots more expensive........ like how highly you both regard it just wonder if 350 is enough?
The only ‘fault’ with mine is the headband is that old now that it’s too stretched to adjust much, so I had to tie a knot in the slack bit lol.If you look around the net CH, they can be had for around 50pounds.
I think the lights outputs are more than enough for safety and our fishing, i cannot think of a situation where it lacks, like the other guys i use mine Winter through to Winter, freezing rain and ice cold nights,.
Also gets used working on the motorcar if i need to see
Another great selling point is the headband lol the only headlight that takes into account the size of our knogging/loaf/head, i have owned a brave few lights over the years and some headbands can be tools of torture and constraint.
Whatever you end up buying, good luck till ye.
