Considerations & Trade-offs
- Runtime varies significantly by output level, so the advertised 100-hour maximum will only apply under lower-output conditions rather than continuous high-brightness use.
- The headlamp is built around a rechargeable battery system; if you want extended time in the field, you may need to plan for charging access or carry a compatible spare setup.
- It includes a 21700 Li-ion battery and is also compatible with an 18650 Li-ion battery only when used with an ALF-18 battery holder sold separately.
- The lighting system offers spotlight, floodlight, red light, and SOS modes, but the available brightness levels are fixed to the listed settings rather than offering broad manual fine-tuning.
