Tools and Hardware Reviews of Streamlight 61302 Argo HP C4 LED Headmount Flashlight, Black
Customer Review: No nonsense headlamp
Summary: 4 Stars
I am very pleased with the headlamp. It has two levels of brightness, both are much brighter than I expected. The angle of the light can be adjusted as with most head lamps these days. The best part of this lamp is that is uses CR123A lithium batteries. Many people see this as a negative. People are used to paying $5.00 to $7.00 dollars per battery when purchased at brick and mortar stores. However, these batteries can be cheaply purchased ($1.50 to $2.00) at online auction sites and through surefire. With 123a batteries that cheap, this battery type is now the headlamp's biggest positive. 123a's are more powerful and more compact than alkaline batteries. The more compact nature of these front mounted batteries makes this the only front loaded headlamp, with this much light out-put, whose front-end weight is acceptable. Lithium batteries also perform far better than alkalines in cold weather, plus 123a's have a 10 year shelf life.
The only negative I see is that the headlamp is not waterproof. It IS water resistant which is better than most other headlamps out there, but it seems this headlamp really should have full water proofing to go along with its other great features.
This headlamp may not look as flashy as some of the yuppie models you find in outdoor stores, but this headlamp has everything a no nonsense outdoorsmen will need.
Customer Review: I Like the flashlight BUT.........
Summary: 4 Stars
The flashlight is very bright and strong. But the original baterries it came with did not last that long and the cost of batteries is pretty expensive. Because they take a photo lithium battery #cr123a. Over all i reccomend tho.
