Princeton Tec Yukon HL 3 LED Hybrid Headlamp (Blue) Review

This recent purchase was for a gift. I have had mine for about 2 years with almost daily use -- doing maintenance around my (rural) property -- yard work and equipment usage and maintenance. It is very reliable under hot, cold and wet conditions. I use the low beam (3 LED) most often. However, it does not take long for the light output of the 3 LED to get noticeably weaker using alkaline batteries.The high output long range single LED seems to last longer even when the 3 LED light is diminished. I've switched to NiMH rechargeables which serves me better since I can charge the batteries often (and not have to put up with using the weaker light output until I had close to exhausted the alkalines).As for maintenance of this headlamp, I occasionally wash and submerge the whole flashlight in a sink to clean the straps.(I wish the straps were removable so I can just put them in the washer.)Recently, one of the 3 LEDs started to blink (like a strobe light) and then died.I sent it back to Princeton Tec and they sent me a new one immediately.I am quite pleased with this flashlight.

Product Description:
The first of its kind L.E.D. hybrid headlamp, the Yukon HL employs the advanced technology of a state-of-the-art, 1-watt L.E.D. and 3 high-output, 5-millimeter L.E.D.s. When you need extreme brightness and distance that rivals the high output typical to incandescent halogen and xenon bulbs, flip on the 1-watt L.E.D. With the quick press of a button, you can switch to the 3 L.E.D.s, configured in a unique triangular design for when you require long burn time for close-up applications.

Before I attempt to describe the headlamp a few words on L.E.D.s are in order. L.E.D. stands for light emitting diode. Doing a quick search on L.E.D. lights will render lots of information beyond the scope of this report. But in a nutshell, L.E.D.s feature long bulb life and much longer burn time when compared to normal incandescent bulbs, which means less frequent bulb and battery replacement...read the entire review
