"Weather-resistant headlamp with Cree XLamp® XR-E LED produces up to 70 lumens. 4 settings: off/high/low/strobe. CR2 battery included. Adjustable. Weight: 1.4 oz."

About $48 delivered.

Alternative source, Coleman online: http://www.coleman.com/coleman/colemancom/detail.asp?product_id=4347-718&categoryid=24756

A CREE headlamp has been a long time coming. Gonna have to see about this one.

Who's got one?

Who's gonna get one lickity split?

Who wouldn't get on one a dare?

Why CR2? Weight only perhaps.

Awesome! I didn't expect them to be out so soon. I don't think anyone has one yet, but I'm gonna wait until they are available directly from Coleman. Blacklight will most likely let us know as soon as they are.

I'm not really sure why they went with the CR2 instead of a CR123, but I would imagine it's because of weight. I think they were trying to make this headlamp as light as possible.

I'd much prefer CR123's or else the 4 AA battery version. I'll probably wait for the 4AA as weight is not a problem at all for me and I liked how it was going to be very flat regulation.
 
Wish it was a locater beacon versus a strobe. But I don't mind a very small CR2 headlamp for disaster kits, first aid kits, etc. Plus thanks to "family" we can get it cheaper at the Coleman family store soon. I'm definitely interested in this one still.

Oregon, are you truly from the fair state of Oregon?

Let me see if they are in stock, I know they are due in about now. I will try to get back to you all today or tomorrow.

Looks like the website needs updating as well, there is a lower priced 3AAA CREE XR-C headlamp due in about now as well. Let me check on it today and get back to you all.
 
The CR2 headlamp is scheduled to arrive 2/1 here, so give it a week on top of that to get unloaded, then you should be able to order if you like. The 3AAA XR-C headlamp is due in here on 1/26 the part # is 4343-704, but it looks like customer service may not have the info, I will have someone on the team get with CS tomorrow.

Awesome! Is the 3AAA XR-C going to have the same features as the 3AAA .5 watt headlamp you guys currently have? That one looks pretty cool. :thumbsup:
 
Blacklight,

Any luck in getting a lower low configured for the H/L (originally around 21lm/6hr IIRC). Whats the lumens/runtime?

Will it be available iin New Zealand or from the Net?

it's quite a bit different, but a very nice light, I will see if we can get it up on the website, when its up i will give you the part #, be easier than me trying to explain it I think.

I will have to double check, give me a couple days, things are crazy busy right now.
 
Blacklight,
What web store would one visit to find this item. I have the H50 and would like to try this to see what advantages it may offer. Thanks
 
I noticed you guys have some new Cree based lanterns at Walmart. Pretty nice looking, although they are a little large for my needs. Still looking forward to the CR2 headlamp and especially your 1x123 cell and 2x123 cell lights that were mentioned a few months ago.
