L1 Headlamp
An extremely lightweight headlamp with 1 Watt LED power
By Brunton (L1, L1-CAMO)
The L1 is Brunton's super-bright LED headlamp containing a luxeon 1 watt LED lamp powered by only two AA batteries. This latest in headlamp technology pushes white light out to 115 feet (35m) for up to 8 hours, with power save run times up to 85 hours.
A bright idea...
The Brunton L1 has been designed for hikers, campers, fishers, hunters, & spelunking. Features such as a mode cycle switch that starts at the power save level so that you not only conserve battery power, but protect your night vision. A water resistant, anti-reflective body with tilting head is powered from the ergonomic AA battery housing on the headband.
The Brunton L1 incorporates special circuitry & cooling fins to prevent the 1W LED lamp head from overheating. Reliability is ensured.
What's the big deal with LEDs?...
The great thing about LEDs is that they are a solid state device, and as such are incredibly difficult to break, and they are not subject to burn-out like standard halogen & incandescent bulbs. Compare the 100,000 hour run time of an LED against the several thousand hours on a halogen bulb.
So, they are tough, and last a long time. But perhaps even more important is their miserly use of battery power. An LED consumes about 1/10th the amount of power as a halogen in producing the same amount of light. When battery run time & headlamp performance is important to you, choose an LED headlamp.
Who's buying?...
The L1 is an essential tool for hikers, campers, sportsmen, field workers, climbers, and spelunking. It's strength is striking a balance between power & overall weight.
