Aurora (princeton tech) LED headlamp Review

"When I first got this headlamp I loved it. Batteries lasted forever. I got it over the Petzel (spell?) due to being waterproof. However, the first time I had to change the batteries, something happened and it never worked again. I could not make a visual determination as to the actual problem, but it never worked again...so I have to rate it pretty low."

"The light is great, but the switch is terrible. It has a small rubber push button, that can come off. Under the button is a very small but critical plastic part that falls out if/when the rubber button falls off. Never depend on this light. "

"Great light. This is now the only light I use--besides the Scout version (2 LEDs, ultra-ultra light). Blinking mode is handy when hiking back to a camp at night--leave one in the camp facing the expected return direction. Batteries last a long time and never a worry that a bulb will fail/burnout. If we had Lithium AAA batteries this would make the ultimate light.

"everyone should swtch to LED lights for backpacking. dependable (batteries will last all year and LED don't blow out!) The Aurora is cheaper then the petzel and had 3 light ranges (hi,med,lo) plus 2 blinkers. the zipka has just on/off "
