Product Description
The Icon, with its blowtorch-like three-watt LED, is our favorite light for the earliest of early starts up high. Paired with the rechargeable NRG Battery Kit (sold separately), the Icon lowers the impact on your wallet and the environment. And when you’re lucky enough to be nowhere near an outlet, you can use alkalines and the economy setting for up to 200 hours of burn time. The four auxiliary SuperBright LEDs have their own multiple brightness settings and are plenty powerful enough to light up the trail or for brew prep at base camp. The Icon’s battery-power meter is dual-purpose: displaying via a green, yellow or red LED either the amount of battery power left or the charging status of the NRG rechargeable battery.Features

Great Head Lamp!
Always works and is very bright! However, towards the end of the battery life, the brightness tends to decrease.

Crazy BrightTake it from an astrophotographer - batteries do not last in the cold. At 18 degrees I'm surprised the batteries lasted 30 minutes. Digital cameras will last about 5 minutes at that temp.
The only drawback to this headlamp is that it is a little on the heavy side. However, it's so bright I no longer have to pack an LED lantern so it ends up saving weight overall.
