I get nearly 2 years out of each SPOT before the headband gets too stretched to be effective. I once sat down to place an order for replacement headbands but with shipping it was cheaper to replace the whole headlamp...this is why I have several. |

I do like the two Storm Headlamps I have, sorry to hear the most recent version has gone downhill. |

A1t2o: " You don't need that much light to get around, and too much will ruin your night vision." yes, that is the reason for the red light. |

drnatus: "A1t2o: " You don't need that much light to get around, and too much will ruin your night vision." I never bought into the idea that red light won't ruin your night vision. Maybe it is slightly better, but a little LED on your hat is just as good except you can bring things closer to see full detail. I like it when playing cards so I can see my hand even if the hanging light is a little dim. |
