 Powerful light July 12, 2010
Hiller
I purchased this for camping, hunting, and the occasion when the canoe trip doesn't quite get finished in time. This thing is so powerful that I grab it instead of my maglight when i need a flashlight around the house. Highly recomend.
A bright light in a dark place. April 27, 2010

This thing is industrial grade. If I was a coal miner I would want to have one. I am an electrical contractor and use it in attic spaces and under houses. It is super bright and I like that you can have a spot beam or a wide beam depending on what you are working on.
 If only the flood LEDs weren't so blue... March 16, 2010
Patrick Alexander (Las Cruces, New Mexico)
This light is just about as good as I've been able to find, and I really like the option of having both a spotlight and a floodlight in a single headlamp. The ergonomics are also very good, and despite being heavier than some of the alternatives I've found this headlamp very comfortable even for extended use. However, I use the flood LEDs more than the spot, and run up against the problem apparently found in all 5mm LEDs: ugly bluish light. The spot has very nice light but is too narrow for most purposes. The floods give good area illumination, but I'd rather them a bit brighter and the bad color rendition is just highlighted by contrast with the much better light from the spot. I lost my Apex a few months ago and very nearly bought another one, but was dissuaded by the bad color of the flood LEDs. That said, I'm perhaps overly picky about such things and in all other respects this is an excellent headlamp.
Pretty good.... March 11, 2010
Andre Villemaire (Canada)
I too taught by reading the charts that this light is good for up to 72 hours,
but they dont tell you directly that the light will stay at high power for only
around 1 hour before going down to second level...but it seems that all
headlamp charts are this way....
I have bought a dozen headlamps...cheap one...good one...bad ones..
This Apec i would consider pretty good. Im using it for night skiing and i have
used the same batteries 10 times already at 4 hours each trip. So thats around
40 hours, and the batteries are still bright at the second level. The brightest
level at this point will start flashing after 1 minute telling me that i have
less than 20 minutes of high brightness left.
Anyway, i find it acceptable and the high point of this light is that its better
than the cheap makes cause it almost give you 180 degrees of light... You see
ahead and you see on the sides.
I do recommend this unit.

I bought this headlamp based upon the reviews and the specs. I wanted a light that provided good workspace illumination as well as long range spotting capability. I have a couple of Peltz lamps and have been satisfied with their performance but wanted more long distance ability. The Apex is great for what I need. It provides two levels of ambient sort of workspace light plus two levels of extremely bright spot capability. I use this light as my aux light for night biking but it actually is better than the bike mounted light. It is a little heavy due to the batteries on the headband but i don't find this to be uncomfortable when wearing a hat or helmet. I also use the light for boating and fishing and find the low illumination perfect for tying hooks, etc and the spot capability is great for watching baits and night docking. i like this light a lot and would recommend it to anyone who wants a high performance light at a competitive price.
