Have we discussed it in great length all ready or is it new? I saw it at Target as I searched all over the store for Sauce Lightwands, or any Sauce product for that matter. Anyway it claimed to use 2 white LEDs and then they were focused through 2 lenses, kinda like mini versions of the lens used on the Brinkmann lights. 50 hours claimed battery life... $15
 
I actually bought one of these things and IMHO, they're not such bad lights. I noticed that the beam from both of the LEDs are not perfectly aligned and it's being amplified by the optics. So, I decided to open up my headlamp and began to tinker around with the LEDs and did my best to align them. I also noticed that they have two resistors to limit the current down. I want my headlamp to be brighter so I took out the resistors and noticed a significant increase in light output. But I do not recommend it though because now, it's running the LEDs too much that it gets pretty hot after using it for at least 5 minutes. I could not even touch the PCB anymore! But overall, I do like this Energizer LED headlight.
