Review Cheap Petzl Headlamp

I like this Petzl Headlamp. The high beam is high and the low beam is enough for most things. The hinge works well to raise or lower the beam, and the strap is comfortable and stable. For the price it's tough to beat.

This Petzl Headlamp is not as bright as the more expensive models, but is excellent for kids and general camping/household use. If you are looking for a headlamp for caving or biking, this may not be the one for you, but this one is an incredible value and works as advertised. I am very impressed with the quality of each of the components of this Petzl Headlamp as well as its design, operation, and fit and finish. The economy setting is perfect for reading, the battery compartment is easy to access but appears watertight, and the lamp's on/off switch is far superior to the sliding switches found on lesser models. The only improvement I could suggest is an auto-off feature to preserve the batteries from the forgetfulness of my 4 year-old. Highly recommended!

Petzl E44 PM Zipka 3-LED Headlamp, Modern Overview

The Petzl Zipka Headlamp provides 120-hours of hands-free lighting, easily fits in a pocket, and should be with you on any trip in case your hike goes into overtime. Petzl gave the Zipka Headlamp a retractable cord instead of a standard elastic strap, drastically reducing bulk. The three LED bulbs provide enough lighting to get you back to the trailhead at night or to set up the tent when you get to camp. Stash a Zipka in your car for late night breakdowns, and keep one in your house to help you when the power goes out.
