[Review] YLP Panda 2M CRI (2xLH351D, 1x18650, dedicated headlamp)

bmengineer · Mar 29, 2019

YLP sent me their Panda 2M CRI for review. This is one of the only headlamps I'm aware of that:

Uses a standard 18650
Has high CRI emitters with a pleasant tint
Has a (momentary only) red mode
Is a traditional 'headlamp-y" shape

Based on the spec list alone, I think it's one of the most appealing headlamps for people used to the big names in the space like Petzl or Black Diamond. I did have a few cons that came up - the water resistance isn't rated for submersion, the top strap is too long, and the magnet isn't removable. If you'd like to read my full thoughts, the original review is linked below.

Nice looking. Is the body plastic or metal? The lenses glass or plastic?

The body is aluminum, and the lenses are plastic.
