Here's what other sites are saying:
From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Princeton Tec Quad Headlamp (Spring 2008) At a mere 96 grams, the Quad by Princeton Tec is the lightest in Princeton Tec s line of regulated-LED headlamps. 4 Ultrabright LEDs power through the darkest conditions. The LEDs are safe forever inside a tough waterproof housing that will survive severe impacts and water submersions up to 1 meter. The wide beam of the Quad is perfect for tasks around camp and is bright enough for technical scrambles and brisk runs on dark trails. Weight conscious users will love the Quad s sophisticated circuitry that allows the use of lithium AAA batteries. They reduce the Quad s weight to 82 grams, perform in extremely cold temperatures, and significantly increase regulated burn times on all modes. Equipped with regulated LEDs that maintain constant brightness anda battery power meter, this light just may be smarter than you are. Power: 21 Lumens Lamp: 4 Ultrabright LEDs Burn Time: 150 Hours Batteries: 3 AAA Alkaline Weight: 96g With Batteries"
From Backcountry.com:
"When you need an ultralight headlamp that does it all, look to the Princeton Tec Quad Headlamp. With its four ultrabright LEDs, this headlamp powers through the darkest conditions. Its wide beam is great for technical scrambles, while the rest of its four settings can be tailored to your needs from campfire cooking to moonless trail runs. These LEDs burn at a constant brightness, and the Quad features a battery meter so you know when to change the batteries (AAA alkaline batteries included). The tough waterproof housing means the bulbs will live through severe impacts and water submersions up to three feet. Princeton Tec incorporated special circuitry so weight-obsessed climbers can reduce the Quad's already paltry 3.4oz to 2.9oz by using lithium batteries (not included)."
From REI:
"Simplicity and versatility come to the campsite and trail with the Princeton TecĀ® Quad Headlamp. Four LED bulbs operate in high, medium, low and flashing modes; suitable for use around a campsite or for signalling from a distance. Single strap fits easily over caps and lets you read in comfort in your sleeping bag without a battery pack pressing against the back of your head. The single switch atop the headlamp is easily located and operated; pivoting headlamp lets you point the beam where you prefer. Features a low-battery indicator; LED bulbs last seemingly forever. Waterproof to one meter."
From Oregon Mountain Community:
"The Princeton Tec Quad Headlamp is the lightest of the regulated-LED headlamps weighing in at only 96g. Powered by four bright LED lights this lamp will pierce through the darkest nights. Housed in a waterproof (submersable to 1 meter), shockproof surounding the LEDs will last a lifetime. The Quad's sophisticated circuitry has the ability to run on lithium AAA batteries. They reduce the Quad's weight to 82 grams, perform in extremely cold temperatures, and increases regulated burn times on all modes.

It is very consistent in the light power and gives you a nice warning when the battery is low (this is rare because they last forever) and still gives you enough light for the rest of your trek before it goes dim."

Being an LED, it is not as bright as halogens, but for around camp or the house it will certainly be adequate."
