Here's what other sites are saying:

From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Princeton Tec Eos Headlamp (Spring 2008) - Best Of Rock And Ice Mag 2008 The Eos light by Princeton Tec takes self-contained battery lighting to the next level! The combination of a Maxbright 1 watt LED and the Princeton Tec-designed optimized lens/collimator maximizes the beam by balancing long-throw with localized lighting. Recognizing that different amounts of light are needed for different activities, we ve equipped the Eos with 3 brightness levels and a blinking mode; further ensuring that the Eos will remain at Constant Brightness as long as the batteries have sufficient voltage. The use of highgrade materials ensures durability and strong resistance to water/weather/ environment conditions. Specifications: Power: 25 Lumens Lamp: 1 Maxbright 1 Watt LED Burn Time: 60 Hours Batteries: 3 AAA Alkaline Weight: 105g"

From Oregon Mountain Community:
"Don't be fooled by the small Priceton Tec EOS Headlamp . The high intensity light is generated by a side throwing LED and circular reflector that combines to provide a bright beam that is brighter and more energy efficient than most incandescent bulbs. Using 3 AAA's the EOS will burn 60 hours on the conservation setting. the 4 mode switch easliy toggles you between powers and offers an emergency flash we hope you will never need. Available in Blue and OliveWaterproof to 1 meter.1 Watt Maxbright LED.Hinged bracket."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Princeton Tec EOS Headlamp's high intensity LED delivers massive amounts of light in a small package. Princeton Tec uses a unique side-throwing LED and a circular reflector to produce a powerful, bright beam that's stronger than most incandescent bulbs, yet consumes only a tiny fraction of the power. 3 AAA's will run the EOS for substantially longer than either a halogen or incandescent headlamp. A super small profile and sub-four-ounce heft make the EOS a brilliant choice for weight conscious hikers who still want to throw some light on the subject."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Designed with the user in mind, the EOS is optimal for both localized needs and spotting at a distance. The combination of a Luxeon/1 watt L.E.D. and the Princeton Tec designed optimized lens maximizes the beam by balancing long throw with flood light. The EOS provides a self-contained 3AA battery system that eliminates external wires, and is equipped with (3) brightness levels with a blinking emergency/signaling mode. Each level provides true current regulation ensuring that the EOS will remain at constant brightness as long as the batteries have sufficient voltage. The use of high grade materials ensures durability and strong resistance to water, weather, and environment conditions."

"The Princeton Tec headlight is a must have for backpacking. The elastic band is adjustable and comfortable to wear for long periods. The light itself is light weight, packs easily and battery life is excellent. With three illumining options finding the right brightness is easy."

"Almost perfect backpacking light. It throws a huge amount of light, lasts for days if you keep it out of the maximum setting, is lightweight, comfy, and takes up very little space. It would be nice to have some sort of diffuser (a la the Petzl Myo XP) for close-up work or reading in the tent, but you get used to it."

"Brought it for a six day trek through the mountains in Malaysia which ended up lasting seven days instead. It is really bright and great throw. I could easily luminate more than 20m away, more than necessary for most applications.

A set of new alkaline batteries lasted throughout the trip, and is still going strong."

"Both the EOS and Aurora LED headlamps are well designed products. I own both. Think of the Aurora as more of a task light for around the camp, the brighter and more focused EOS can be used on the trail. EOS in short is the perfect headlamp. Both have several settings to conserve power, and both flash."

"I do quite a bit of night bike riding. I had been using a Nightrider light that I paid $130 for. The $35 EOS that I bought at L.L.Bean gives the Nightrider a run for its money. This light truly does throw a great spot! I also purchased a few rechargeable AAA's. With the three different intensity setings, I can't imagine anyone being disappointed in this light."

"This is a great headlamp. I am a bit of a light freak and have two Princeton Tec Auroras and just bought the EOS. It is a huge improvement because of the fact it has one 1-watt LED. It is so much more like a spotlight than any LED light I have ever used."
