After that it falls out of regulation for a longer run time. The Storm is waterproof (rather than just water resistant) and is current regulated as well for the first 25% of battery capacity. It runs on 4 AAA batteries but is similar in size to 3 AAA headlamps as one battery is tucked under another. Red mode is triggered by holding the button in for 3 seconds so you can turn this mode on in the dark in your tent without having to worry about accidentally triggering a white light and messing up your night adapted vision. It just seems like the light must be coming from above.
As you move around you don't see the edge of the beam since it is so wide and since it diffuses naturally. It just seems like the moon must be full that night. When outside at night this makes you forget you even have the light turned on. One on each side of the headlamp so the beam angle is greater than your peripheral vision. The flood mode is very pleasing as it is extremely wide angle. You press and hold the button for 6 seconds and now pressing the button will not turn on the headlamp (accidentally while in your pack). Since many people will use this in a backpack for hiking/camping it has a lockout mode. This is triggered only if you click the single button 3 times rapidly when the light is off. There is mode memory for the red LED as well.īoth the red LED mode and the white LED modes have strobe. You get to the red LED mode without having to go to a white light mode first. This has a high of 25 lumens and a low of 4 lumens. There is also a flood mode using two SMT emitters. The brightness is infinitely adjustable via ramping. The Storm has a high of 100 lumens and a low of 4 lumens on the spot beam. Also I guess something strapped to my head needs to be a little nicer than something I hold in my hand Or rather I think budget flashlights are better than many budget headlamps. I'm not a fan of overpriced lights (which is why I'm here) I'm a bit pickier with headlamps than with flashlights however. At some place like REI it would be around $49 but you can get it a bit cheaper online. OK, this isn't exactly budget but it's not the most expensive either.
