 Good Features Bright, many settings, low battery indicator, easy on/off, comfortable strap Bad Features a bit thick at about 1.5" and you need a screwdriver to open the battery door Recommended Alternatives I like wrapping this on my wrist when I go for late in the day running. It's very easy to wear on my wrist and if it gets dark before my run is over I can pop it on my head. |
Comment by marks I had no idea about the screwdriver requirement. Would a knife substitute? If no, that's a 1 star flaw imo. |  |
Comment by racingaheadar Knife would work, as would a coin. It does have a threaded screw but I could not turn it. You would need tiny strong fingers to turn it, making a tool of some sort necessary to use in the slot provided. |  |
Comment by joeyfz9 By design, you're supposed to use the adjustment clip to tighten/loosen the screw. The clip has a slight curve that fits perfectly in the slot. |  |

The Princeton Tec EOS Headlamp's high intensity LED delivers massive amounts of light in a small package. Princeton Tec uses a unique side-throwing LED and a circular reflector to throw a powerful, bright beam that's stronger than most incandescent bulbs and consumes only a tiny fraction of the power. 3 AAA's will run the EOS for substantially longer than either halogen or incandescent. A super small profile and negligible weight make the EOS a brilliant choice for weight conscious hikers who still want to get some light on the subject. Was this useful? Yes | No From Outdoor Pros:
