There's the big motha units that is as bad as a kiddies torch and weighs and fits like a brick around your head and then there's this. Got this unit from Awesometools for our trip, and been using it about every night for the last 6 months.
I do not do headlamps, it's just me, they look like you got some dickhead thing going there. But I had to get something small but were able to light like a Boeing landing lights. This unit got 180lm, you can set the beam focus and the strength of the beam. I never used it as a headlamp, I use to carry it like a normal torch and it works great when you need to hang it somewhere, dark showers in camping spots and such stuff.
Beam range is a 180m and it only weighs 120grams
One of the nicest features is that it can recharge of it's own cigarette lighter sockets and the attachment comes standard and with the wall socket to recharge the rechargeable batteries that is also standard with the unit. Only thing I had to do was plug it in on the bike and leave over night, it uses a green light to show it is charging. You can also recharge it from a USB socket.
Plottie and me had a headlamp shoot out in Malawi one evening against Plotties big ass light and this one was like a Xenon against a H4 globe. We used it in Uganda a few evenings driving around a game park at night on a Land Cruisers roof doing game viewing.
For R500 this is the best torch/ headlamp I ever used, i's good quality, works well and packs a moerse punch for such a small headlamp!.
