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 REI:
"The Princeton Tec Yukon HL headlamp features a SuperBright LED bulb that rivals the glow of an incandescent lamp! Features a 3-way switch; select either the single 1-watt SuperBright LED or 3 standard LED bulbs for lower light and longer burn times. LED bulb draws more power for increased brightness. LEDs are nearly indestructible and greatly extend battery life. 3 AA batteries (included) provide over 30 hours of bright light. Waterproof design works well in foul weather. Soft, 3-piece headband system provides a non-slip, comfortable fit. Closeout."

"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."
