Product Description The Icon, with its blowtorch-like three-watt LED, is our favorite light for the earliest of early starts up high. Paired with the rechargeable NRG Battery Kit (sold separately), the Icon lowers the impact on your wallet and the environment. And when you’re lucky enough to be nowhere near an outlet, you can use alkalines and the economy setting for up to 200 hours of burn time. The four auxiliary SuperBright LEDs have their own multiple brightness settings and are plenty powerful enough to light up the trail or for brew prep at base camp. The Icon’s battery-power meter is dual-purpose: displaying via a green, yellow or red LED either the amount of battery power left or the charging status of the NRG rechargeable battery.FeaturesMax Battery Life:

Hasn't voted | I bought this lamp because of all the good reviews I had read around. I can confirm that the beam is powerful and that the the batteries last a long time. But I was highly disappointed when during a recent climb, the lamp simply faded out because of the cold. Batteries were brand new and the indicator showed a green light, temps were approx. 18 F. Needless to say, I was in the dark at 4am after only a half hour of starting my climb. Waiting was not an option, so I climbed in the dark until sunrise. No, I would not recommend it to anyone else. | | Posted Aug 16, 2007 1:04 pm |

Voted 5/5 | I took this out for the first time this past weekend. I used it to see while hanging my food bag after dark and it is just stupid bright. After dark with no moon I could easily see everything 20-30 yards away. I used it to help scare four bears away from my tent and a fifth from my food bag, and also to scare away a large buck who was snorting and stomping at my tent.
Take it from an astrophotographer - batteries do not last in the cold. At 18 degrees I'm surprised the batteries lasted 30 minutes. Digital cameras will last about 5 minutes at that temp.
The only drawback to this headlamp is that it is a little on the heavy side. However, it's so bright I no longer have to pack an LED lantern so it ends up saving weight overall. | | Posted Jul 29, 2008 11:26 am |
