Edit:
I received this headlamp, so I figured I'd post a short review.
Headlamp has cheap, but serviceable construction. I can imagine it would break if you dropped it too many times, but it's not too bad overall, just typical cheap china stuff you would find at big box stores.It's not too heavy and is fairly comfortable to wear, but the
Fairly bright, plastic lenses focus to make a decent thrower, but has ugly and extremely weak spill. I am 90% sure this light is unregulated, so it will dim over time. With fresh batteries(and these are total guesses based on other lights):
high - 60 lm
low - 30 lm
red - 2 lm
No clue on battery life, but with 3 AAA's and 3 Nichia LEDs, it should be OK, but I'm sure that the dimming output will hurt it. Also, the LEDs appear to have a square emitter, so that plus the packaging (2X Brighter) I think these are one generation behind the current Nichias.

Hi,
Does anyone recognize this headlamp? It is available as a free prize from my healthcare provider, and they do not identify the brand. If anyone can identify it as something other than a piece of junk, I might get it over the SAK Classic they are also offering ;)
Thanks!
