From REI:
"With a list of popular features and Black Diamond™ quality built right in, the Gizmo is an outstanding headlamp for the price! Lightweight Gizmo features three LED bulbs providing three lighting modes— bright, dim and strobe. Single control button must be depressed for three seconds for light to initiate, which helps prevent unintended battery drainage inside a pack. If someone falls asleep with it on, no worries; headlamp's auto shutoff feature kicks in after four hours. Features a pivoting head and a single, around-the-head strap. LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) cast even, white light that's good for close-in lighting; nearly indestructible LEDs drastically improve battery life. Operates on two AAA batteries, included."

"Got this little guy for 20 bucks and have yet to be disappointed. The settings on this are high, low, and flash. You can get away with just using the low on this thing and make the batteries last even longer, which by the way only takes 2 AAA. At a mere 2oz you can always find a spot in your ruck for it."
