Description of Brunton L3 3-Watt LED Headlamp:
|
The Brunton L3 Headlamp features a 3-Watt Luxeon LED bulb that throws out an astonishing 207-foot beam of light, easily illuminating objects that are far out of range for most headlamps and a fair share of flashlights as well. What's equally amazing is that while most super-duper-bright LED lights munch power like popcorn at the movies, this Brunton wonder sports a marathon 200-hour life using just four AA batteries in its unique dual cases. Pop four C-cells into the included external battery case, and the L3's beam will last a claimed 300% longer, an expedition-worthy 600 hours of blazing, high-intensity light (we haven't even had one long enough to test that out, but still…wow). So while the Brunton L3 might be a tad heavy, and it's not ideal for every use, we know what headlamp we're grabbing if the sun goes out tomorrow.

Bottom Line: Strap a high beam to your head.

| The light was great and very bright and I just couldnt pass it up for the price I found it at. But I recently sold it for the new Petzl MYO RXP and I couldnt be happier. The Brunton's beam is just too narrow. I got caught on a hike at night on a pretty rocky and technical trail, and the narrow beam just didnt show enough of the trail. It really needs diffuser of some kind. Plus, by having the 4 AA's on your head, its alittle heavier than normal. Nothing to unbearable but it really needs a third strap to keep it from slipping..It comes with a separate battery pack for C-batteries but that was just to heavy to carry. |

| Good solid basic headlamp 02-28-09 |

| This is a good headlamp. It is solid and the removable battery packs are a nice touch. It is very bright, though it doesn't seem to have the same illuminating power as the xenon bulb headlamps I've used in the past (although batteries last many times longer when running an LED than they do with a xenon bulb). I have not used this lamp enough to comment on the battery life, but the mechanics and ergonomics of it are good, and it is lightweight, comfortable, and sturdy. |

| Really bright 11-25-08 |
| Yehuda Farkas (52): |
| Great headlamp. Comfortable to wear, and very bright. I was a bit surprised by this light when I turned it on. Compared to some of my previous Black Diamond's this one is right up there and compared to some models, even brighter than them. It's of average weight with the four batteries, however I think this would be really heavy and even uncomfortable with the attached C batteries. The regular batteries last quite long. My only complaint is with the focus of the light. It is somewhat of a narrow beam, so if you are looking for a wider beam for night-hiking this might not be the perfect light for you. Great for cave explorers. |
