I was super excited to pick this headlamp up recently - $60'ish, and two independent led's for flood and throw? Count me in! After some time using it here are my major gripes. I am primarily using this for camping and for hiking at night --
1) the spot is near useless, projects a very small circle of light that is WAY brighter than the flood (even on maximum), creates a very very small hotspot, like looking at things with a laser beam almost
2) light is heavy - 4 x AA Nimh Eneloops @ 2000mah = 298g
3) headband not very comfortable, my girlfriend complained about this and she doesn't usually complain about things that are uncomfortable, she also has a big head so that may have been the problem
4) With both lamps on, there is a very visible overlapping circle effect ... minor gripe
What I did really like about it
1) Really wide flood
2) Moonlight mode
3) Neutral white
4) IPX-6
Anyone want to buy a barely used HP25 in Canada?
