    I have that one. It works great. I use it when chaining up at night.

    I've been using the headlamp this week send I really like it. The streamlight is super bright, comfortable, and the on/off button is placed well and easy to push even with thick gloves on, the strasp over the top of your head keeps the headlamp from moving around.

    I liked the energizer one as well while I had it. Dog puked on the strap when we were heading out camping. Put it on the back bumper while cleaning the back seat and took off without it.

    I have a LED shop light that I use more than the current crappy head lamp I have. You can hang it or it has hexagon shaped rings around it so you can lay it on something and get the light at the angle you want. Even with headlamps I find times that my eyes can see in the hole, but not the light.

    Streamlight fan here also! Super bright and last a couple weeks or more on a set of batteries.
    I have the tactical light and it has held up extremely well.

    Check Amazon.....good prices on them.

    Check out Candlepowerforums.com

    I have a Zebralight H30 that uses a 123 that I mostly use to read before going to sleep. Three levels of light and I read on the second level. I get three or four weeks from a 123.

    They have models that use AA as well as Li-Ion rechargeable cells.

    Amazon is about the cheapest price on 123 batteries as well. Radio shock wanted the same for two as I pay for twelve on amazon. I ordered a twelve pack of strealight batteries yet Duracell batteries come included. I though that was funny. I get really good life out of 123 batteries even running strobe on my p2l. I like the strobe function so people see me walking across a rest area or terminal.
     
    EZ Money Thanks this.
