"With more burn time and a brighter LED cluster, the new Black Diamond Vectra IQ out shines and out lasts its competition. Four SuperBright LEDs clustered in their own reflective module provide excellent proximity lighting while the xenon bulb offers brilliant, far-reaching light for trail navigation, climbing and biking. New intelligence-integrated circuitry with constant illumination, a "money saving" battery-power meter, mode memory and a strobe "Find Me" light ensure that the Black Diamond Vectra IQ is powerful, long lasting and simple to use. Wt: 5.6 oz/8.9 oz (without/with batteries)."

"This headlamp has everything you want for any situation. The three light settings for the LED and the halogen is priceless. Lowest LED is great for reading in a tent. The highest halogen setting is a lifesaver when you are looking for that noise in the bushes in the middle of the night."
