Best camping headlamp for under $150?

[MichaelW]

Got a source for that?

Someone else posted a reply from Lillian Xu-Zebralight.
I don't know if they are going to offer xm-l headlights, because the the etched lens works so well, it would be somewhat redundant.

But they could probably squeeze even more output out of it...

... the etched lens works so well....

I don't mean to be obtuse, but...I'm not thrilled with the etched lens workaround and the directional flood result. I'm very much saddened to see the H501 pure-flood basically sidelined with relatively dim emitters, in favor of diffuse-hot-spots on newer lights.

Just my 2 cents.

Hey, thanks for all the info and suggestions. The Saint still sounds like a good bet, but I will wait another month or so to see if anything else worth considering comes along.

Great info. Let us know what you end up getting.

I am looking for a new headlamp too. I have tikka plus and it is too floody.
