I have decided I need a good headlamp, and short of the Stenlight, the Apex seems to be the one to go with.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

BrightGuy.com has done well for our needs, both price and, especially, service.

I have an Apex and always seem to reach for it for every-night-use (ENU?) over any other headlamp I've got, e.g. other Princeton Tec, Streamlight Argo, Petzl TacTikka Plus, etc.

+1 there re. BrightGuy.com...Greg and his enterprise are first-rate (got my Apex from him, amongst others)...have a camo Petzl TacTikka XP and Adapt kit on "pre-order" with him...

SportsMerchants—$61.99 + Roughly $10.00 UPS Ground Residential Shipping

IndoorsandOutdoors—$62.77 + Roughly $9.00 UPS Ground Residential Shipping

And as the others said above regarding BrightGuy—$64.99 + S&H, but I can't log on to their website for some reason.

Enjoy!

I just checked Brightguy and the Apex was $68.95 + $7.01 shipped UPS ground to me in OK. I've never used Basegear.com but they were $64.95 + $4.95 shipping.

ETA: Brightguy is out of stock on the Apex in black and neither Basegear or SportsMerchants has camo. FWIW

I would search ebay for it before deciding. You may be able to find what you are looking for for significantly less $$. I haven't looked there for an Apex but I recently got a very good "buy it now" deal on a new in box EOS from a seller named "Campbuddy" or something like that. He seems to have a lot of satisfied customers.

I got mine from basegear.com and got it in 3 days I think (portland to philly). Good price and fast shipping. I'd buy from them again.

Ouch! I've just had a live and learn lesson. I just had my first experience with having UPS deliver a online purchase. The brokage fee was about $38. I wish these guys (Tactical Flashlights) used the USPS service. Oh well, its still probably a good deal in the States.

I bought mine from BaseGear too, and the shipping was only US$20 for airmail to Australia, $85 all up. My using the post there were no taxes to pay either. Australian prices are coming down, only US$100 equiv :-(.
