Streamlight 61302 Argo HP C4 LED Headmount Flashlight, Black
Cheap Streamlight 61302 Argo HP C4 LED Headmount Flashlight, Black Review
This is a well constructed, weather resistant, rugged very bright headlamp. It is ideal for cold weather hiking since the lithium batteries tend to keep their charge longer than conventional batteries in the cold. The C4 lamp easily lit objects 100 feet away. The on/off high/low intensity button is all sealed so water will not get in. The battery container is also well sealed as is the lamp assembly. It comes with two sets of head straps - one for use on your head and the other for use on a helmet. It is comfortable and not too heavy.
I originally bought this for a different reason - indoor use. I work with certain ultrasound equipment that requires a dimmed room, so dim that I couldn't see the area I was working on well. This headlamp was too bright for this use. After using the light, my eyes were adapted to bright light and I couldn't see the ultrasound screen well.
The only design flaw that I encountered is that the on/off button does not have any hard cover or shield on it. After rolling it up and throwing it in my back pack and stuffing in a lot of gear around it, the button was pressed on and the light left on for a day. If you pack carefully, this should not be an issue.
Overall I like this light and recommend it. I live in Maine where the winter days are cold and short. It is great for evening cross country skiing or winter mountain climbing. The lithium batteries are more expensive but reduce the weight for the amount of power they provide. I recommend buying a 10 pack of batteries, since the price is substantially less per battery than buying a two pack at local stores. They last for years.

Streamlight 61051 Trident Green Super-Bright LED/Incandescent Combo Headlight
Cheap Streamlight 61051 Trident Green Super-Bright LED/Incandescent Combo Headlight Review
We are back online looking to purchase another light from Streamlight because everyone loves this light. We like the option to choose between a green light, 2 LED's and 1 xenon ? light. Works in all different situations. This is NOT a super bright light that someone else was wanting, but I don't think they make one strong enough for him, lol. Streamlight does make some that have more LED's and are stronger, but there are times you want the other white light or a green light. The unit stays on our heads, even my 3 yr olds. It has not broke and has been abused by a 3 yr old. Tilts easily. I used it last night to get the animals that were outside, inside into their cages. I have a handheld coleman light, that is suppose to be used for emergancies and everyday, but it was not near as good as this headlamp!! That one is "Coleman LED MicroPacker Lantern" with 2 LED's and a reflector. It is 1/2 the price and I am back online to buy better lightening options, such as the Streamlights!

Streamlight Vantage LED Helmet Mounted Flashlight
Cheap Streamlight Vantage LED Helmet Mounted Flashlight Review
I got to use the vantage on a house fire for the first time this morning. This thing is super bright. So bright that when I look at people, they'd look away. I forgot I had the thing on!
The mounting of the light is very secure. However, I have a visor on my helmet. The light works awesome when the visor is up, but it will be partially blocked when the visor is down. I don't see a big problem with this unless your doing mop ups or extrications when the visor needs to be down.
All the guys on scene were asking about it, so they seemed impressed as well. The blue light on the light was great too. I obviously didn't notice it, but my guys on the hose line could see me as I moved around in thick smoke down to knee level. They seemed to think it was easy to see.
Update: Feb 26
We had a tech rescue this morning. Guy fell 30 feet into a well, early morning, and very dark. I had the light on my helmet when my captain and I dropped down with the patient. The light worked well, but in a confined space the thing is super bright. It's awesome for working around a house or a large area, but the intensity of the light and the straight focused beam is something to keep in mind in a situation where space is confined. It worked great of course, but just be aware of where that thing is pointing.
All in all, it's an awesome light... highly recommended.
