Hi all, I have looked at some of the posts about headlamp recommendations but still having trouble finding exactly what I'm looking for. Currently, I have a fenix hl55 with 3400 mah 18650 battery. I've also been known to run some of the ebay specials, but build quality and safety are more important to me now. Basically, what I'm looking for is something like a Lupine lights system, but with the ability to use my own batteries instead of their closed-system. While I think its great they are doing that and opening up high powered headlamps in a foolproof way, I prefer to have more control as I'm sure many of you do
What I want
-relatively small headlamp
-external power pack, powered by 2-3 18650s, that I can put in my coat pocket to keep it warm.
Seems pretty simple right? Just can't find the right one. I like fenix build quality, but they don't have what I like. I'm not a big fan of the zebralights I've used; I just don't like their "system"
I'm running lights for outdoor activities in interior alaska, so think bitter cold and lots and lots of darkness. I'd like something in the 1000 lumen range.
Thanks everyone, and I really apologize if this has been covered to death, I just couldn't really find something that works for me!
