As I explained in Headlamps on the Homestead, we gave up on our favorite headlamps when a design change degraded their quality. We turned back to Princeton Tec. This line offers a dizzying variety of headlamps for many different uses. We focus on those that meet our basic criteria: waterproof or at least water resistant, economical battery use, and comfortable.
Our very first headlamps were a basic Princeton Tec design. I no longer remember the name, nor do I believe it’s still in production.
