Pros & Cons
Pros
It's not the lightest head lamp, but i don't experience any bouncing, so all good there. Lamp easily pivots up or down. Great camping headlamp.
Headlamp is very durable and lightweight. Works well for nighttime running. Works perfectly for my camping needs. Keeps sweat from dripping in this blazing hot desert.
It can be rotated into different positions while using it. Strap is comfortable and adjustable. I climb so i appreciate a headlamp that isn't too heavy and bulky for the strap.
It comes with an elastic headband and 3 aaa duracell batteries. The batteries fit snuggly inside the case without jiggling. Lastly, the 3 batteries lasts from 50 - 146 hours depending on your setting.
Cons
The battery door pops off easily. The switch is annoying. It pops off under certain conditions.
The princeton tec headlamp is not very bright. For the lamp to output 70 lumens, the leds actually need to be producing 77. The theoretical limit for leds is around 300 lm/w.
Great customer service is nice, but is worthless at 3:00am on the side of the road. Buy another brand. I hope they will stand behind the product and send me spare parts, hopefully made of sturdier materials.
Highlights
Quality
I bought other headlamps but nothing compares to the quality of this one.
Quality control (3 of 4) and time to receive replacement (2 weeks) is reasoning for 4 out of 5 stars.
Competitiveness
,,great price compared to competitors ( i added a red blinker to back of strap so that i'm seen from behind too).
I use eneloop rechargeable and have 6 of these headlights.

The battery door latch is hard to open so using the given tab that is attached to the strap to open the flap it strongly suggested
