Like many of you, I've used a lot of different headlamps. My current favorite is the Princeton Tec Remix Pro. I carry two, one for backup.
Why? I prefer one battery vs fumbling with 3 AAA's, and lithiums are inherently lighter and have longer run times than alkalines for the weight. Remix Pro's take a single CR123 ($1.00 ea) and the lights have never failed me. However, after reading this thread my interest in the Zebra h600 has peaked.
So, I researched them and then ran across the relatively hew Nitecore HC30, basically a clone of the Zebra with less advanced features. Now, of course, I want one of these lamps! Preferably the Zebra, but the Nitecore sounds nice for almost half the price, with coupon code. I'm leaning toward the Zebra but with all of the choices of the H600, if I do spring for it I'd like to get input on what model most backcountry hunters prefer. Flood, neutral, cool white? What do you Zebralight guys prefer?
Yes, I see someone else asked the same question, but I didn't see any replies on the thread. Any input out there? If I'm going to spend over $100 for a head lamp plus batteries and charger then I want to make it count the first time. Thanks in advance for any input. If anyone has the Nitecore HC30, user reviews on that head lamp might be helpful also.
Thanks again
