I already have a nice Zebralight H600Fw Mk IV 18650 XHP35 Floody Neutral White Headlamp and I love it and use it all the time, but it is a little heavy and overkill sometimes. It's great for a couple hours or even more but after a few hours with it on over a backwards ball cap it does tend to dig into my forehead and sometimes cause me a headache or else just some discomfort.
So I was looking around for something lighter weight and stumbled on the "Klarus HR1 Plus" today. Looks like the weight will be on the back of the head and should be a lot more comfortable for longer wear time. No strap going over the head needed. I tend to use these a lot working in the garage on my motorcycles and things like that and don't always need a ton of output power. I hope I can wear this for several hours without as much discomfort. Another cool thing is that you can run it off a USB power bank in a pocket for a lot longer run times.
So we'll see how it goes. Anyone have one of these yet? I got it at GoingGear and used a 10% off discount. "sootch00"
