      Comments about Princeton Tec Apex LED Headlamp:

      It is a great light, for the damp wet weather, the adjustment on the straps allows for it to fit a bicycle helmet depending on the type and shape you are using. The high beam is very bright. Used this light in a down pouring rain and it kept burning bright. Top of the line quality.

      Comments about Princeton Tec Apex LED Headlamp:

      I live in the woods as a river guide and use this headlamp on a daily basis. I can't even describe how bright and luminating this thing is...My friends and co-workers are all jealous when I bust this bad boy out next to their headlamps..It puts them to shame. I have not yet had a chance to test it's waterproof ability, hopefully won't have to unless I'm caving somewhere, but the battery housing definitely seems solid and well sealed.

                Comments about Princeton Tec Apex LED Headlamp:

                I initially bought the headlamp for backpacking and camping, I now use it almost daily, for everithing around the house. This is my second unit, the original one lasted almost 4 years, it got busted on a camping trip. It's a little on the heavy side, but I have tried a few other models and this one is by far the one with the most bennefits. I surely will buy anotherone if this one ever fails.

                    A:

                    Other than the switch for turning it on and off and for use with the different lighting modes, It does not have a specific function switch to prevent it from turning on accidentally.
