I own a LW 2000 and really like it alot. I sometimes use my NiteIze headband that is made for a Mini-M*g but use my 200 instead. Only problem is aiming and comfort sometimes so I am looking at the LW headlamp. Any comments from those who own one?
I may also get one or two extra to give as gifts for Christmas.

For what it is, it is bright enough. It is a bit heavy on the forehead, due to everything being on the forehead. That may simply be a case of my forehead being a bit more sensitive to pressure than most people. I would beware of using lithium AAs in this headlamp. I tried that and noticed the LEDs starting to heat up (not good). NiMHs get this to barely glow.

Actually, you may be better served if you wait for the Yukon HL by Princeton Tec to come out, as it has both 1 watt Luxeon and 5 mm LEDs in one package. (I am going to get at least one)

I do own the Illuminator, and it is best on a helmet (all you need are the clips).
