I've used the Princeton Tec Aurora (3 leds on 3 AAA batteries) for several years for camping, house wiring, running in the dark. It accidentally went through the wash last month so I took it apart, dried it out, and it works fine!I needed a brighter headlamp for running so I tried the Apex. I've been using the included alkaline batteries mostly on the low, 3W led setting for two weeks (~4 hours total). The battery indicator is still green!. It fits comfortably and securely and I got used to the weight of it quickly.This headlamp has a lifetime warranty, excellent documentation, and is brighter than I thought it would be. Oncoming vehicles actually switch off their high-beams and cross to the opposite lane when they encounter my bright light and that makes me feel safer.

this is my first pro level headlamp.I am currently using it for night time trail running. for that setting I am using the high setting 3 watt led. that lasts just under two hours on two AA batts. for running fire roads I use the high setting on the small LEDs and it works fine.its only been used in dry weather thus far, so I cant comment on its waterproof qualities. the battery compartment seems to have a solid seal at the o-ring.this is very well constructed and though it aint light, its comfortable to wear for a 1 1/2 hour run over a skull cap.this is money well spent compared to the crap previously owned and discarded after failure. a thoughtful design and quality build.the spot is bright enough that I might take it along on night bike rides as a backup if my main helmet light fails.you wont bomb any trails with it but it will get you home at a decent pace.finiaddendum: after more than two years of use with three separate lights I have additional commentary. there is a design weakness with these lights, namely the hinge/plastic heat sink surround is prone to breakage if you should drop or knock the light head against anything. if it was just a tad beefier it would probably be OK, but dont handle this light after you just finished catching a greased pig, or insert your own lubricated-hands analogy...I will note that the first time I broke this hinge Princeton Tec sent me a brand new light free of charge, so I still love them. now I have three to send back and will be curious what they will charge for repairs

This is by far the best head lamp on the market. I'm a caver and most lights aren't bright enough, cost too much, or fall apart easily. The many modes of this light make caving so much safer. If I'm in a very large walking passage I'll switch this light to the high output middle LED. If I need to have more light directly in front of me (at my feet and 15-20 feet out) I'll switch the light to the outer four LEDs. Also, each LED has a dim mode. This is perfect for mapping or conserving battery life. The battery life is better on this light than any other consumer head lamp that I've tried. Almost everyone that I cave with has switched to this head lamp after they've caved with me a few times. The voltage regulator works very well on this lamp.
