"Free Shipping. Princeton Tec Corona Headlamp (Fall 2008) The Corona regulated-LED headlamp by Princeton Tec floods your entire field of vision with an even distribution of light.

Excellent peripheral lighting simulates normal daylight conditions and allows you to take advantage of your entire field of vision without moving your head. Proprietary heatsink technology and 8 shock-resistant, wide-angle Ultrabright LEDs are the foundation of the Corona. You can switch between 8, 5, 3 or 1 LED output, making it a great hands-free lighting choice to satisfy all of your outdoor, work and personal lighting needs. An innovative circuit system allows you to fine-tune the brightness level on each of the 4 LED modes so you can go from flooding your entire camp site in bright light to reading in your tent. Shine light where you need it using the pivoting head assembly. For the perfect fit, adjust the durable nylon head strap.

"I own six headlamps and maybe 25 LED flashlights. Corona is the best headlamp so far. The little 3-AAA's are fine for in camp or close work, but the Corona really lights up the night with 8 LED's when you get off a trail. I'd give it 5 stars except for the weight and it takes 3 AA's."

Reviewed by Navy_Dave, Feb 25, 2006

"I gave this light a high mark b/c of the quality and it does what it's designed for very well. I actually bought the bike version. I have used it as a bike light, helmet light and as a headlamp.

Here are my observations:
I use the Corona bike light and I have a headband that I use when I want to use it as a headlamp."
