User Review: Princeton Tec Apex Pro

Princeton Tec Apex Pro
Above: The current Apex Pro, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Reviewed April 1, 2007 by Chad Mathis

Rating: rated 2 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $89

I bought this headlamp based on other reviews I have read. Brightness is superior to most (a solid 5 stars). The reason I have given a 2 star rating... If I had just researched problems associated with this model, I would have found that many owners are experiencing cracking of the housing. Mine was cracked NIB, bits of plastic had chipped off from around the two screws that hold the housing together. This is not small chips but the majority of the plastic surrounding the two screws.

If you go to buy one, take it out of the box and examine the top of the light around the two screws. Luckily I can return the light but this should not happen from any light much less an $90 one. Do your research thoroughly, I didn't, lesson learned!
