    Exclamation really awesome deal on headlamps

    So i really wanted a fenix headlamp to use while im polishing. I wasnt down for the 80$ price tag though. I started to do some research and found that almost every high end headlamp company uses led from a company called cree led


    I also found that this company makes their own headlamps that are way cheaper than anything ive found so far.

    Here is the link....16 bucks and free shipping... I ordered 2 of them so I will post a review on it later...

    LINK REMOVED

    If you want to get a led look at high CRI (color rendering index) led lights. A 90 or above really lets you see more. I can see more with my 200 lumen high cri than with my 800 lumen standard or cool white led.

    Re: really awesome deal on headlamps

    How is it that reputable brands like Fenix, SureFire and Ultra claim fairly reasonable lumens quotes on their top-end lights (180 to 450), but the cheapie no-names claim in the several thousand lumens...?

    Oh wait, I just answered my own question.

    Update----this thing works awesome...16 bucks well spent!
    I compared this to my 200$ streamlight flashlight and this is brighter and actually shows the swirls.

    Re: really awesome deal on headlamps

    Great information and the price is right....

    I wonder how the 600 compares to the 1200?
