Here's what other sites are saying:

From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. Princeton Tec Yukon HL Headlamp (Spring 2008) The Yukon HL by Princeton Tec features a Maxbright 1 watt LED and 3 Ultrabright LEDs. This all-LED headlamp offers extreme brightness and beam distance that rivals the high output typical of incandescent halogen and xenon bulbs. Switch to the 3 LED mode when you require long burn time, and use the 1 watt LED for spotting at a distance. By using an all LED system, you eliminate the concern of bulb failure. The compact battery pack is mounted onto sturdy elastic webbing that offers ample adjustment for a comfortable fit. Specifications: Power: 17 Lumens Lamp: 1 Maxbright 1 Watt LED, 3 Ultrabright LEDs Burn Time: 120 Hours Batteries: 3 AA Alkaline Weight: 228g"

From Backcountry.com:
"The Princeton Tec Yukon HL Headlamp stomps incandescent bulbs for both brightness and battery life. Trail running at night? Turn on the super-bright beam of Princeton Tec's 1-watt Maxbright LED. Navigating around your tent's guylines? No problem. A ring of three Ultrabright LEDs surrounds the big boy for soft proximity lighting when you don't need to blind people three campsites away. Looking for a place to pull your kayak out at the end of a long day? Don't sweat it. The Yukon's waterproof so you can keep it in your deck rigging."

From CampSaver.com:
"YUKON HL (Hybrid L.E.D.)— With the quick press of a button, you can switch from a 1-watt L.E.D. to the 3 L.E.D.s, configured in a unique triangular design. Its impact-resistant design, 10,000-hour bulb life and burn times ranging from 44 hours of useful light from the 1-watt L.E.D., to 120 hours of useful light from the 3, 5-millimeter L.E.D.s, gives the YUKON HL unmatched versatility."

From REI:
"Experience the next evolution of LED lighting. This SuperBright LED bulb rivals the glow of an incandescent lamp! Features a three-way switch; select either the single 1-watt SuperBright LED or three standard LED bulbs for lower light and longer burn times. New LED bulb draws more power for increased brightness. LED bulbs are nearly indestructible and greatly extend battery life. Three AA batteries (included) provide over 30 hours of bright light. Waterproof design works well in foul weather. Soft, three-piece headband system provides a non-slip, comfortable fit."

"Owned and operated for a little over a year. . . stopped using after the cable from the power supply to light started to short out. Sent for warranty repair. . . lost in transit.

Light was used in all weather in all seasons in a northern Canadian climate for inline skating (extreme skating even)."

"This is a great lamp. It has a voltage regulator chip in it so you can use rechargable batteries so that you don't end up throwing away half-used batteries after overnight trips (most LED headlamps use resisters, which cut the voltage too much when using the lower-voltage rechargables), and because it uses AA batteries, battery life is great."
