One of the better headlamps available on the market. Great driver with high sustained output and good regulation. High CRI LED. The body itself is durable, fall resistant. Above average headband.

I have to say that I I like it very much. It has really good tin and really versatile and the red light is very good. Okay. Um Okay. This is what you will get in the box.
