Headlamp recs?

Post by salAmanda »

I'm going to be doing some night work for the first time, and I want a good and reliable headlamp that will make it really bright! Kinda nervous about it tbh. Anybody with experience with night work or just has a headlamp that works for them? Please and thank you!

I've done a little bit of everything including some night work. When it comes to headlamps it pretty much comes down to Petzl and Princeton. Personally, I as set for life when I got the Princeton Vizz. I think it's this model: https://princetontec.com/product/vizz/

It's light, and you have pretty fine control over the brightness with either a big bulb in the middle or some smaller ones around the outside. This means you can squeeze a LOT of battery life out of it. Red light too although that drains the batteries a lot. Light weight, easy to use. No big annoying battery pack on the back. I'd say it can't be beat.

Batteries? That's like wasteful for the earth man. What about USB recharging?

I kind of like the blocky battery pack to be honest. Lets me know its there.
