Coleman Exponent 3AAA, Any experience?

[dw51]

Does anyone have any experience with the Coleman Exponent 3AAA .5 watt headlamp? At $12 on the Coleman website, it is tempting. I was wondering if it would be worth getting.

I have the 4 AA 1 watt version.

Not worth the price $50+ when I got it from a Colseman store.

Weak light from the primary LED.

Runs HOT.

Slowly drains the battery when not in use.

Very inefficient. Runs downs the batteries in less than 4 hours of use using the primary LED.

Not water proof. Not even water resistant.

Heavy.

But for $12 for the 3AAA version, may actually be worth it.

Looks cool through.
