The headlamp uses a 100 degree flood beam that can be adjusted with a push button built into the end cap. The headband uses an around and over the head style strap system that holds the light securely on your head. The beam can be adjusted 180 degrees from straight up to straight down if necessary.

I own several headlamps from Petzl to Fenix and I can say this is by far the most powerful headlamp I own. In high mode the headlamp literally turns night into day and it can also be turned down into nightlight mode for the tent or hammock.

I purchased the headlamp from the Canadian NiteCore dealer for around $50 when it first came out and I've been using it for about 4 months now. In my opinion, an incredible deal.
