Here's what other sites are saying:

From Campmor:
"3-LED/xenon hybrid headlamp offers both long-range lighting and LED proximity lighting for longer battery life. One of the lightest hybrid lamps, weighing only 6.3oz. with batteries. Rotating bezel controls on/off and focuses xenon light. Bezel is easy-to-use even with gloves or mittens, and has an integrated lock to prevent unit from accidentally being turned on when not in use. Lamp body tilts to direct light where needed. Comfortable to wear with simple adjustable elastic headband. Optional top strap is available. Powerful xenon light source has range of 250 feet with 3.5 hours continuous burn time. 3-LED light source has range of 43 feet with 120 hours continuous burn time. Spare xenon bulb included and stored on lamp. 3 AA batteries included. Wt. 6.3oz. with batteries."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"A shining alternative to packing two headlamps into the backcountry, Petzl's lightweight Myolite 3 gives you the practical combination of a 76-meter-range halogen headlamp and an energy saving LED camp light. It's a logical choice for climbing, camping, spelunking and adventure racing. The large halogen lamp has a glove-friendly bezel adjustment that allows you to change the beam focus with minimal fuss and fumbling. Both halogen and LEDs can be tilted to the angle you need without having to crane your neck or do those chicken-like bobbing that eventually drive the folks in your party nuts. Like other Petzl Myolite headlamps, the Myolite 3 comes with an adjustable elastic headband with an optional top strap."

From CampSaver.com:
"The Petzl Myolite 3 headlamp is a hybrid headlamp combing long lasting LEDS and a high powered Xeon bulb for seeing far.Many people are torn between the efficient LED headlamp and the bright Xeon bulb headlamps.Now, you dont have to choose with the Pet"

From REI:
"This versatile hybrid headlamp lets you choose between xenon long-range lighting and LED proximity lighting for longer battery life. Design is great for camping, hiking, climbing and alpine pursuits, as well as around the house. LED option offers maximum efficiency, or switch to the halogen option and bump up the power to a long-range projection beam (76m / 249 ft.). Tiltable lamp body allows light to be directed where needed. Bezel controls both focus and on/off; xenon light beam can be focused from flood to spot using the rotating bezel. Bezel is easy to use, even with gloves or mittens; can be locked in the off position, preventing unit from accidentally being turned on in your pack. Simple, adjustable elastic headband is comfortable to wear and easy to put on, even in the dark. Comes with a spare xenon bulb and three AA batteries."

"Can't say about the battery life because I just demoed this for a night adventure. But, the halogen lamp was worthless to me.

I thought the lower leds allowed for a sharper night image. I also thought that there should be a third strap going overhead so the thing doesn't sag down the head while running."

"I bought this headlamp for the brightness it was supposed to offer with the initial headlamp. It has no distance and the l.e.d. actually seems brighter. The headlamp put out a very dull, yellow beam with no distance.

It does have great battery life and I haven't had a single malfunction."
