I do not think David has reviewed this headlamp.
In August I purchased a Mammut Lucido TX1 LED Headlamp for $80.00. The lamp
is helmet mounted with 3 AA in back of the helmet. What makes this headlamp
so good is the incredible spotlight with the great runtime of days and that
is on the brightest setting. The bright light is a hi-flux one watt LED with
a max range of 345 ft. The lamp also has Two Hi-definition floodlight LEDs
with hi and low settings. The run times of these smaller LEDs have a max of
180 hours. I noticed tonight that some vendors now sell the Lucido for as
little as $64.
Another model offered is the "plain" Mammut TX1, not the Lucido which I
have. The TX1 is powered by 3 C-cells carried in a belt pack or in a pocket
where the batteries can be kept warmer. That model using 3 C-cells has a run
time of 450 hours, can you believe that. The lamps are not waterproof, but
they are made for an alpine use in rough and tough, cold and damp
conditions.
Mammut is famous for rope climbing rope.
