Sports reviews of Princeton Tec Fuel Headlamp
Customer Review: Best Budget Head Lamp on the Market
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I spent about 30 minutes at the local EMS testing all the headlamps on display. In the end, I walked away confident that the Princeton Tec Fuel (4 LED model) was the best choice for under $50. Fortunately, the store had the older 3 LED version of the Princeton Tec Fuel. I was able to compare both and chose the 4 LED version. Here's why:
1) Lightweight. The Fuels weighs only 78 grams (2.75 ounces). This is a few grams less than other headlamps in the same price range. I don't wear hats and dislike things on my head. So I wanted the lightest headlamp, while not sacrificing light output.
2) Compact. The Fuel is smaller in size than the competition. I like to pack small and light when traveling, exercising and exploring.
3) Stronger Light Output. The 4 LED Fuel (the newest model) has a light output of 43 lumens. The older Fuel with 3 LED lights has only 35 lumens. For the same weight and same size, I went with the newer 4 LED model. With 4 light modes (low, medium, high, flashing), I can always choose a lower power setting if I need less light and/or longer battery life. Compared to other headlamps, a few have stronger lamps but lack features or were too big and heavy. The 4 LED Fuel has more light output than other lamps in its class - and better size, weight, battery method, and price.
4) Swivel Design. The Fuel features a swivel that allows the light to tilt up and down in a very broad range. Many other headlamps feature a swivel design, but few match the range that the Fuel has.
5) Replaceable Batteries & Battery Life. Expensive rechargeable battery packs are nice, however they are heavy and expensive. Remember all the weight will be on your head. Plus, there is nothing worse than having an empty battery and no charger. The Fuel uses AAA batteries which can be purchased at any gas station. If rechargeable batteries are a must, then simply use rechargeeable AAA batteries to power this lamp. I recommend the Sanyo Eneloop AAA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries (4 Pack) and the La Crosse Technology BC-9009 AlphaPower Battery Charger. This La Crosse battery charger is the best on the market. And the Eneloop batteries use a new technology that keeps charges longer and has a longer battery lifetime.
For around $20, the Princeton Tech Fuel is a phenomenal headlamp. I tested the rest and bought the best... for the price range anyway. You'll be happy with this headlamp.
