User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Incredible headlamp
This Princeton headlamp exceeded all of our expectations. We use it when we walk the dogs early in the morning and at night. The high power beam reached much further than we actually needed, and the area illumination mode lights up a large area. Battery life is excellent with MAHA rechargable AA batteries. This is an excellent product and we highly recommend it for anyone looking for a headlamp that really lights up the night. We have tried four other headlamps and this one is by far the outstanding one.
5 Stars Princeton-Tec Apex 3 Headlamp_Superior Headlamp
The Princeton-Tec Apex 3 Headlamp has been far Superior to other, similar headlamps, I’ve owned. I’m an avid caver and purchased the light for that purpose. In the absolute darkness of subterranean earth nothing outperforms or outshines my headlamp…I dropped it in a puddle of water other day as well, completely submerged, took it out worked like a charm.

5 Stars The Difference Between Doing and Reading About The APEX PRO
I have this headlamp and it is great. I don’t know what the reviewer who wrote the scathing review about battery life is talking about. I use my APEX PRO on both spot and flood and it last many hours on a set of batteries (AA). Sturdy, good controls, easily cleaned, hard to get dirty, and bright enough to be useful (unlike many led headlamps). If I only had one headlamp this would be the one because it does it all. As useful as a flashlight in terms of brightness at less than 15 feet and hands free. I have smaller and lighter headlamps but they are also dim at less than arms length. Yes this headlamp is heavier and less comfortable than the lighter ones but it is bright enough and last a long time.
5 Stars Headlamp
Exactly what I need for late night fishing. Extremely bright and not too heavy
5 Stars Best head lamp on the market
This is by far the best head lamp on the market. I’m a caver and most lights aren’t bright enough, cost too much, or fall apart easily. The many modes of this light make caving so much safer. If I’m in a very large walking passage I’ll switch this light to the high output middle LED. If I need to have more light directly in front of me (at my feet and 15-20 feet out) I’ll switch the light to the outer four LEDs. Also, each LED has a dim mode. This is perfect for mapping or conserving battery life. The battery life is better on this light than any other consumer head lamp that I’ve tried. Almost everyone that I cave with has switched to this head lamp after they’ve caved with me a few times. The voltage regulator works very well on this lamp.
