Very nice headlamp. Comfortable, the top strap really helps. Well-made with several brightness options,
By K. Jones (Lummi Island, WA)
On its brightest setting, this headlamp is VERY bright. It's reasonably comfortable to wear for long periods, and generally works just as advertised. The general quality and workmanship are excellent.
My main criticism is that the ON button is difficult to find in a hurry in the dark, and once you do find it, you have to get you finger positioned over it just right, because otherwise it's very hard to press. The second button, controlling DIM/FLASH, is even smaller. When the lamp is on your head, it's difficult to find this button by touch. If you have large fingers you might have to take the lamp of your head in order to activate it.
For my purposes, it would have been better for the light to turn on initially either in one-LED mode, or somewhere in-between one and the full eight. This would also help conserve battery power. I keep the lamp by my bedside in order to have a flashlight handy when I get up at night. Having it illuminate initially in its most blinding mode is not the ideal for me. To tone the brightness down to the level I want, I have to press the ON button four times. Of course, if you use the head lamp for caving, you might find it satisfactory the way it is. It would probably be too much to ask to have the headlight remember its brightness setting from the last time you used it. . . but that would certainly be preferable, in my opinion.
I'd give this lamp a five star rating if both the ON and DIM/FLASH buttons were raised more, or otherwise make easier to find in the dark (or on your head) by touch. Even making the ON button material out of luminescent plastic so you can SEE it would be an improvement.
The high brightness level available is a plus for such activities as hiking, bicycling, or fine work up close where you need to be able to see well. It's useful to be able to select the number of LEDs and the brightness level, since there's often no need for the maximum setting. If you can get by with the light of one LED on its DIM setting, the batteries are claimed to last 70 hours. The electronics in the lamp provide a "constant current" so the brightness is maintained well toward the end of the life of the batteries, rather than growing gradually dimmer over a long period of time.

Well thats what my wife calls me now. I have always been a serious flashlight guy and have or have had all the best streamlight and surefire lights. This thing is awesome. It takes some tweaking to get the fit just right, or it could be my huge head Im not sure. Anyway when you do get fit right it its just so cool. It is nothing short of liberating to have your hands free to do other things. Ok now for performance it is sooo much brighter than I ever thought it would be. I was thinking awhile back on getting an led light for my bicycle, now this will work just great as it throws a huge amount of light. what like 80 or 85 lumens, that is the same as surefires new led two cells; and for much less cash. The great part is that you can cut the power down as well as shut off leds until you find the light you are comfortable with. It is also very efficient with power. I use rechargeables for most my stuff and am still using the batteries it came with a few weeks ago. Use it everyday for something. What sold me was the reveiw on here of the medic in the military who uses this headlight in total darkness to set up medical field units, and now I can see how you coiuld. Also made in USA. I am also thinking about getting one of Princetons 4 led versions (lighter) with the red lens that slides up for stealth missions like hunting my reading glasses without annoying the wife more than usual. Warning... On high mode you do attract alot of flying creatures because you have a beakon on your forehead.
Get it you will not be sorry.

extremely bright, i like the different modes and dimming capability to extend battery life. I don't have many of these, bought i seriously wish i bought this sooner. sometimes tricky to fit and you can feel the weight initially, but it's a trade off for the light.
By mushhuskies (Potato Land)
I have used other Princeton Tec headlamps but this one outshines them all! This is my second Corona. I use these headlamps almost daily around our property as I am often out and about in the night. Before I retired I used one exclusively in wildland firefighting and it held up well in a very demanding and dirty environment. So, if you require a durable h-lamp with relatively long life on the batteries in a compact and comfortable package then you won't be disappointed with this product.
