There are six headlights I have used. They are GEMINI from BLACK DIAMOND, SAXO AQUA from PETZL, ZOOM HALOGENE, MICRO, MYO XP, and an unbranded LED headlight. These six lamps contain both incandescent lamps and LEDs. The lights, there are also two kinds of technology common. Here I would say my personal feelings for these 6 headlights:
1. BLACK DIAMOND---GEMINI
Attachment: A HALOGEN light bulb, 3 AA batteries This is a very classic BD headlights, excellent value for money so that it won the 2002 BACKPACKER EDITOR'S CHOICE. It is also a very popular product on the domestic market. Many of them have GEMINI in their bags. The GEMINI power supply uses a dual light source design, which is equipped with LED and HALOGEN bulbs filled with inert gas. When using LED, such as in the camp environment; the latter is used for the latter, such as climbing or hiking at night. The headlights in the use of the adjustment is extremely simple, two modes of switching can be completed with a key. To fully meet the general needs of users. GEMINI energy consumption is very small, the power supply uses 3 AA batteries. I use the battery it comes with, after more than six months, the headlights can still provide plenty of lighting. This can not be Do not explain the combination of LED and incandescent lamp technology superior performance. I personally think that the lack of this lamp is mainly reflected in a battery box sealing is not particularly tight, in the case of special use is easy to reduce the waterproof performance of headlights. 2 due to the power of 3 Section 5 battery, so headlights on the back of the battery compartment position. When used, there is a sense of lightness at the end of the head, and it is necessary to adjust the tightness of the headband before use to prevent the headlight from escaping beyond use. On the whole, GEMINI has a very good price performance and good performance. It can fully meet the basic needs of current domestic and outdoor activities lovers. In a sense, it can be called the ultimate choice for ordinary outdoor enthusiasts in China.

2, PETZL --- SAXO AQUA
Attachment: A helium bulb, battery compartment waterproof seal material, 4 AA batteries
This lamp was purchased by me in the year 01 and it was a very good product in the outdoor market at the time. This headlight is a typical PETZL style product. It belongs to the WATER RESISTANT LAMPS (waterproof headlight) series in its official product brochure. The degree of waterproofing is 70 meters below the water level. (When I crossed the Black Dragon in Beijing, I encountered heavy rain in 2002. In the case of full exposure in the rain, I used 2 hours without any problem.) It is particularly suitable for caving and river tracing. The hydrophilic activities. This lamp uses a xenon bulb, which is very powerful over long distances, up to 70 meters, and it fully meets the needs of hiking and trekking. The most convenient design of this lamp has two points: 1. Flexible headband. The headlights of SA lamps can be easily removed so that the headlights can easily be converted into flashlights or used as camp lights in tents. 2 switch lock. A simple and practical power supply opens and closes the locking device to prevent accidental activation. This function is particularly important when carrying headlights in mountaineering bags, as opposed to the headlights of ring switches. Personally think that the lack of SAXO AQUA is: It belongs to the lamp body and power supply headlights, power supply for 4 AA batteries. The overall weight is biased above the forehead. When used top-heavy, headlights easily fall out of the head. Second, SAXO AQUA is an incandescent headlight. The energy consumption of the power source is high, and the brightness will be weak if it is continuously used for more than 2-3 hours, which is not suitable for continuous use in outdoor activities.

3, PETZL---MICRO
Accessories: Incandescent bulbs
The MICRO is representative of a typical portable multi-purpose headlamp. It is light in weight (including a battery with a total weight of 150 grams), is small in size, and is very convenient to carry. In addition, the irradiation distance of 30 meters is enough to cope with the low-intensity outdoor camping activities on two days in general. Its good performance, compact appearance, is ideal for outdoor MM use. MICRO's power supply is 2 AA batteries. The headlights are integrated with the power supply (with a waterproof function), and the two-way headbands are not only comfortable to wear, but also not easy to accidentally fall off. Do not underestimate the compact MICRO, it has its own unique details in detail: 1, MICRO uses a ring switch, and can adjust the light intensity through the switch ring (through the adjustment of the lamp bowl) to change the light Point/face illumination form. This adjustment is very simple and quick, allowing users to adjust their own desired light form according to actual needs. 2. Tiltable lamp body. MICRO's lamp body and headband are connected by a transverse axis. The lamp body can be turned up and down independently. When it is necessary to change the headlight irradiation angle, only the lamp body is individually adjusted without moving the entire headband. Better reflect the human nature design in the outdoors. This headlight also exposed some deficiencies in actual use: 1, high energy consumption, which is the inherent disadvantage of incandescent lamps. MICRO is also unavoidable, but it is quite economical in other PETZL incandescent lamps that I use. 2. It is easy to operate by mistake. The ring switch used in this lamp is not designed for safety. If the switch ring is loosened during transportation, it is easy to activate the headlight switch, resulting in waste of electrical energy. I have encountered this situation several times during normal use. The simplest solution is to store the battery in the battery compartment upside down before shipping.

4, PETZL---ZOOM HALOGENE
Accessories: Halogen bulbs
This headlight also belongs to PETZL's UNIVERSAL LAMPS series. As far as its function and appearance are concerned, it is basically a larger version of MICRO. The biggest difference with the latter is the power supply split and bulb material. Its halogen lamp can provide users with remote lighting of 90 meters. The lamp can be used in a variety of power modes (manual description can be used 3LR12 battery, 4.5 volt flat battery or 3 ordinary 5th battery and E13 transformer), users can according to their actual situation in the activities Select different power supply methods. The lamp body structure of the headlight is the same as the MICRO, and the ring switch is used, and the light irradiation range is also changed by adjusting the lamp bowl. And the lamp body can be rotated to adjust the headlight's irradiation angle. The power of the ZOOM HALOGENE that I use is the AA/LR6 battery transformer and can be carried by a small bag. The advantage of this kind of power carrying method is that it allows the user to carry it around and protect the headlight power more effectively, which is particularly suitable for cold weather conditions. To a certain extent, it is possible to prevent the battery from escaping due to low temperatures. Second, it can also share the weight of the headlights, so that the user's head has only a lamp body structure, light weight, and comfortable to wear. The deficiencies of ZOOM HALOGENE are basically the same as MICRO. Shown as high energy consumption and ring switch. However, it is still a good choice as a multi-purpose pitch headlight product.

5, PETZL---MYO XP
Accessories: 3 LR06 batteries
This lamp is currently not available for sale in the country. I asked for help from GRAYKNIGHT. It is the latest product of PETZL now LED. Represents the current technology trends of LED headlamps. The MYO XP appearance is very different from the traditional LED headlights and can even be described as avant-garde. Its bulb is a LED with a power of 1W, providing 45 meters of illumination. This lamp relies on changing the voltage to adjust the light mode (4 modes of choice). Different from the traditional LED headlamps are: 1, specially designed with enhanced mode, in which the irradiation distance up to 65 meters (can be maintained for 20 seconds), through a key operation, under special circumstances can be quite convenient from other modes Conversion. 2, safety switch, when the lamp body can be incorporated into the switch protection, protection headlights are not accidentally opened. 3, wide-angle lens, this headlight of a big hammer, just turn the wide-angle lens cover the lamp bowl can turn the head light from point irradiation into surface illumination. Not only is the structure simple and cool, it is like a space age product. 4, the power display, personally feel very useful features, there is a small light in front of the headlight switch prompt power, according to the battery power level (full, medium, low), presents a different color tips (green, yellow, Red), whenever the headlights are turned on, the user is reminded of the power status at any time so as to facilitate the user to take measures in advance. Since I haven’t used it for a long time, I haven’t found any shortage of this light yet. If you want to criticize, I still have two concerns. One is the durability of the wide-angle lens under harsh conditions of use; the other is that the illumination of the 1W power LED is too high, which can easily cause discomfort to the eyes of the exposed person. However, after all, MYO XP is a representative of future LED technology trends. From it, we can more glimpse the pace of outdoor equipment in the development of science and technology.

6, BLACK YAK---Z-HEAD LANTERN
This headlight is a representative of the traditional LED headlights, and it is also our most friendly contacts with Shanyou. This product has 5 LED lamp heads, depending on the number of lamp heads to increase the light intensity. Limited to the disadvantages of conventional LEDs, it can only provide illumination within 15 meters. Due to the limited light irradiation distance, combined with the cold light source penetrating power under field conditions is insufficient. Relatively speaking, these headlamps are more suitable for the use of camp-wide activities, such as simple activities such as cooking or reading. The advantages of Z-HEAD LANTERN headlamps are light weight, easy to use, and most importantly, low cost. Compared to other high-performance products, the price of tens of dollars is more suitable for ordinary junior players. After all, no one is going into the mountains every day. There is a small, lightweight, LED headlight that is suitable for home use. It is more easily accepted by the masses.
