Head lamp recommendation.
 

Hello,

I am looking for a new headlamp. I’ve been using an Energizer one for a while that I got at Home Depot and the strap is losing its elasticity.

Thanks

Highly recommend the princeton tec Remix

The batteries last a long running time, they have AAA batteries (I greatly prefer to internal rechargable), they last several years, fairly waterproof, and IMO maybe the most important thing in a fishing headlamp they start off on a red light (to get to white you have to hold the button).

I've been through a number of headlamps over the years and I've liked the Remix so much that I own three in part of my usual rotation and vehicles, and two still in the package for if/when I lose one.

Been using Underwater Kinetics UK Vizion for the past dozen years or so. https://uwk.com/products/3aaa-vizion-i-headlamp

2nd on the UK. They will even sell you a new strap when it looses its elasticity.

I sewed a Velcro strap onto the elastic strap of a couple of my cheap lights ,,, my head size changes with the season’s……. ( 🎩 hats )

Agree with uk vision. Ik on my
Second in ten years and the original still works fine but the lense is scratched
And dull. Recently got some foxeli brand as s gift from a friend and I’m impressed although I haven’t swam with it yet I like several brightness levels in white and red.

Love these little rechargeable Nebo’s.
Fairly water resistant. Plent of light , full, medium,low.
One is white, the othe red. Brightest red I’ve ever seen.
Super lightweight, don’t even know they’re on my hat. About $25.
180° rotation too.

Thanks for the recommendations. I will check them out.

UK vizion is the only headlamp that is truly waterproof... complete submersion for years and still works. its simple design is what i like.... the manual "twist" for a red filter eliminates the countless "modes" of other lights that have to be cycled through

I have had the Energizer White/Red light for probably 15 years. Still works fine. I don't swim out to rocks so it's waterproof enough for in the surf.
