Description

The L3 is a headlamp made by Brunton. It has an average rating of 4 stars (out of 5), based on 6 user reviews.

Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"The Brunton L3 Headlamp features a 3-Watt Luxeon LED bulb that throws out an astonishing 207-foot beam of light, easily illuminating objects that are far out of range for most headlamps and a fair share of flashlights as well. What's equally amazing is that while most super-duper-bright LED lights munch power like popcorn at the movies, this Brunton wonder sports a marathon 200-hour life using just four AA batteries in its unique dual cases. Pop four C-cells into the included external battery case, and the L3's beam will last a claimed 300% longer, an expedition-worthy 600 hours of blazing, high-intensity light (we haven't even had one long enough to test that out, but still wow). So while the Brunton L3 might be a tad heavy, and it's not ideal for every use, we know what headlamp we're grabbing if the sun goes out tomorrow."

"Light itself is brilliant with no dead spot centre on like the Princeton Tech APEX. Its ability to hold brightness as the batteries fade is fantastic. The beam is brighter than anything else I have and can match a Cygolite Dual Cross for both power and light colour making it great off road biking combination."

"Fair headlamp, but for the price I'd stick with the Rayovac K2 Highbeam (Picked two up last year at Cost Co for $15 apiece).

A side by side test at night on the lake actually showed the K2 to be brighter and battery life was longer on the K2 using "AA" batteries for both."

"I'm a serious caver, living in a cold climate, and this light is my best answer to date! Outshines the Petzls my buddies use, and outruns them on batteries too! With the option of using four AA's on my helmet and getting a rated 200 hours of burn-time, or, in colder, winter caving conditions, using the (comes with it!) four C-cell belt/pocket box for a 300% longer burn-time, it's great."

"When I finally put the two top Luxeon 3-watt headlamps in front of me, I said to myself: Don't be ever never
haoxed by the origin of any product again! This L3 Brunton is made in China, while The Princeton Apex
rival headlamp is made in USA. The L3 is the winner!!
Far better bright light, longer distance (by a little),
and the most important, a very unbelievable battery life time."

"The light really is the brightest headlamp that I have ever used. A 3 Watt LED pokes a neat round hole into the darkest night and is great when hiking at dusk or around the camp. However my experience so far with the construction of the lamp makes me think about a backup Petzl in the bag whenever I head out again."

"I bought this headlamp to replace my Petzel MYO 5, and words cannot describe the difference. This headlamp puts out more light than my surefire e2e and makes my MYO 5 look like a wax candle. The beam has no dark spots in the center and the light is a bright white."
