l.e.d. lights dont eat batteries. my new favorite one is the crank powered one at bass pro but ive seen the same one at walgreens 12$. one minute of cranking is one hour of light.

Bought a nightblazer at the walmart for about 5 bucks. it's got a regular bulb instead of an led bulb

Does anyone have any experience with this unit?

Ok for tieing fishing line, alerting others to your presence, walking with some light and such. I wouldn't use it for tracking or fding. My partner p/u a couple last year and this was my take. Also the on/off button is very easy to switch by accident. I found that out last summer when I went to use when we were doing some night walleye trolling and the battery was dead.

I recently bought the 5 led model. I wasn't impressed with the overall ruggedness of the light but it's light and works well. I used it camping the other weekend and it worked very well and it is increadibly convenient on the visor/brim. I will use it as my primary light due to its weight and keep a mini-mag as backup. I agree with the comment on the on/off switch. It can be turned on easily. You can't keep this in a pack, it has to be in a pocket or on the visor.

I really like my Primus headlamp. It has both LED lights and Xenon lights.

ive tried a few. some of them dont throw light all that well or enough. the petzyl was the first one i got about 2 years ago and was o.k.. the streamlight with the green light headlamp is better. it has 3 modes to it and directs the light better. http://www.basspro.com/servlet/catal...=SearchResults

My Petzl is built really nice and puts out enough light.

I would guess in ten years headlamps will be 100%LED. One of the draw backs of the olderLED was light output, but with the newer highoutput bulbs, like the 3 Watt, that has changed.
