Show me the light!
Extraordinary quality as expected. Unbelievable brightness. Variable levels levels of brightness to adapt to the situation. Light and easy to wear. Gave as a Christmas present and don't think my stepson has taken it off fro 2 days.

Best Headlamp
This one lives on my caving helmet. This is my second one because I left my original one with my guide in Belize and he loves it. Its design is exceptional. The 4 LED's provide adequate light for most caving activitiy, switching to the spotlight when needed to see details in a formation and focus my camera. On this recent trip to Belize, we swam/hiked up a stream for 640 meters inside a cave and those 4 little lights were better than a spotlight for reading the rocks through the water so I could avoid hazzards. I don't feel weight on my helmet like I did with other headlamps. And the light flips up easily when I am focused and ready to take my photo.

great light
have used the light on two backpacking trips. very bright, well built. During the most recent trip used it to continue hiking for three hours after night fall. the only issue i have is getting the button sequence correct to set the desire lighting mode.

One of the best
One of the best lights I've ever had. Very bright, and comfortable to wear.

Great All Around Outdoor Light
This is an amazing light. I use headlamps for hiking, camping, , backpacking, fishing, cycling, or any other time when I might be outdoors after dark. I'm using this light to upgrade and replace my current outdoor activity lights. I've been using another headlamp that is about 4 years old in combination with a high intensity xenon hand held light that uses two 3 volt lithium batteries. The Icon is all that I hoped it would be. It weighs about 7 ounces and is two ounces lighter than the combined weight of my two current lights. The 3 watt LED is extremely bright. It is as bright or brighter than the high intensity xenon light I have been using plus it has a much greater battery life (85 hours) on the high setting than the xenon light ( 1 hour). There are 7 lighting settings for the Icon. Three brightness settings ( high, medium, low) for the three watt LED and three settings for the 4 LED mode. Plus, the 4 LEDs can be set for a flashing mode (great for an emergency or extra visibility when cycling after dark). With the range of settings and two modes this headlamp works perfectly for those situations when low light is needed (i.e. cooking after dark when backpacking) or when you need a lot of light (i.e. that strange noise on the edge of camp or trying to find an obscure trail on a dark night). I'm also able to use this headlamp on my cycling helmet with some ingenuity. I use a velcro strap to attach the battery pack to the back of the helmet and a plastic zip tie to hold the lamp on the front of the helmet. This works great for road bike tours that may last past sundown. I like the ability to see around me with a turn of the head. The only drawback (depending on your needs) is that the light is a little heavy at 7 ounces. I'm perfectly happy with a light that is a little heavier than some since it has such a great range of light settings and a long battery life.
