I love mine. I've used it a few times so far and I think it's great. The batteries are expensive but they are lithium batteries and so they last quite a while. The small size, light weight, and thoughtful design make it the best headlamp I'm aware of. I can't believe that it costs less than many of these other headlamps. I haven't done any testing on the brightness compared to other lights. But it's more than adequate for every use I've had for it, even night hiking.
