From RockCreek:
"The Petzl Myobelt SB 5 is a hybrid headlamp that adapts the light style to the certain activity you are doing. One light is a Xenon halogen bulb that can be zoomed for a more focused lighting, and 5 LED bright lights for wide, proximity lighting. The Myobelt is a great headlamp for cold weather activities because of its remote battery pack that can be worn under clothing and protects the batteries from the cold helping to conserve energy, and can be used easily when wearing gloves. The Myobelt SB5 has 3 lighting levels when in the LED mode, to help you to conserve batteries- Optimum, Maximum, and Economic, and when the batteries start getting weak, the headlamp automatically switches to reserve power mode.Operates on 4 AA/LR6 batteries (included)."

From OEGear.com:
"The Petzl Myobelt SB 5 Headlamp incorporates a compact, remote battery pack for use in cold weather with a combination of halogen and LED bulbs for perfect lighting. A favorite of winter campers and mountaineers, the Myobelt SB 5 lasts longer in cold weather because the battery pack can be worn inside your clothing to keep it warm. With a choice between a super-bright Xenon halogen bulb and five LEDs, the Petzl Myobelt SB 5 Headlamp always has the right amount of light for your nighttime-vision needs."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Offering the best of both worlds, the Petzl Myo Belt SB 5 headlamp includes a xenon halogen bulb for shining a long, powerful beam and a set of five LEDs for long-lasting proximity lighting. Although the xenon halogen bulb burns the batteries down in four hours, it throws a beam of 295 feet. It's rare that you need a beam of this length but when you need it, it feels like a priceless tool. For the rest of the time, such as reading in the tent, walking down a well-traveled trail, or rigging a bear hang after dark, the five LEDs do the job more than adequately. Instead of slowly losing their brightness as the batteries wear down, the Petzl Myo Belt SB 5 headlamp regulates the lighting level so that it remains constant until the batteries are nearly exhausted. At that point this intelligent headlamp kicks into a reserve power mode that provides adequate proximity lighting for a greatly extended period of time. To further fine tune the lighting level and use the battery power as efficiently as possible, the Petzl Myo Belt SB 5 headlamp offers three levels of LED lighting, depending on whether you're cleaning trout long after sunset or trying to find your tent after descending from a climb in fading light. A remote battery pack keeps the weight of four AA batteries off the head and also allows for you to shelter the batteries underneath your clothing to preserve battery life in extreme cold. The lamp is water resistant and performs well in even the most awful weather."

"Used once and now doesn't work. Not much good if it doesn't work now is it, Mr. Petzl. Failed at night 3000ft on curved ridge in Scotland. Fell to my extreme death and now contacting you from the dark side."
