PRDATR Report post Posted January 27, 2017 I have a Fenix headlamp and also a Fenix flashlight. I got the charger and use the 3500mA batteries. It is a bit on the heavy side which took some getting used to (made out of aluminum) but I love it. It has five intensity settings and a sixth which is dual red led's. They have frequent sales and great customer service. I gave my first flashlight away to a friend who needed one and bought my son one. The on/off failed after a couple of years and it would just randomly turn on by itself. I contacted them and sent it back and they replaced the switch for a few bucks. http://www.fenix-store.com/fenix-hl55-led-headlamp/ http://www.fenix-store.com/fenix-pd35-led-flashlight-960-lumens/ http://www.fenix-store.com/fenix-arbl18-high-capacity-18650-battery-3500mah/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Camofreak Report post Posted January 28, 2017 Zebra lights are pretty sweet. We use a lot of black diamonds, seems to be one laying around everywhere in our camp. This year I realized the importance of carrying extra batteries, although we had two extra 4 packs of batteries in one of our packs it was okay, but during the 6-8 hour packout we ran out of juice twice.

cramerhunts Report post Posted February 2, 2017 I've got zebra, princeton tec, petzl but my favorite is one from XK-glow. Fairly cheap, charge lasts forever, super bright, and adjustable beam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HuntHarder Report post Posted February 14, 2017 I've used several different kinds of headlamps, from cheap to expensive. On a wildfire assignment once, I realized I'd forgotten to pack mine, so I grabbed a $12 or $15 Energizer at quick Walmart stop en route. Turned into one of my favorite headlamps ever and its a fraction of the price of Black Diamond, Petzel, and others I've used. I have one on my nightstand, one in my hunting pack, and one in my turkey vest. So funny that you said this, same thing happened to me and I have a hard time not wearing my energizer. The El Cheapo works great and has the red light for hiking in undetected. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
