Bought two of the lights, one for me and one for my bride. The light is bright enough with fresh batteries that you can actually hike in the dark without benefit of any other light. Been there done that - don’t plan on doing it again. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

This light works best around camp with plenty of light to see how to setup in the dark - if you don’t have foresight enough to start while there is still light. (See hiking in the dark comment.) The light weighs next to nothing and on the low setting is just right for reading in the tent.

I glued a neoprene pad on the back side of the light to keep it from slipping around and to provide additional cushioning on my pretty little forehead. If Princeton Tec had put the pad on first, they could have had 5 stars.
