Princeton Tech Headlamps Whitby & co

Princeton Tec’ has become a well-respected manufacturer of top quality headlamps so not surprisingly the models here featured will suit any night shooter. All have adjustable single strap headbands, asymmetrical ‘tilt’ adjust lamp casings manufactured from toughened ABS and come supplied with batteries.

VIZZ

First up is the Vizz which measures 60 X 50 X 42mm and weighs 92 grams including 3 X AAA Alkaline batteries. It has three distinct beam profiles all easily accessed via a simple, rubberised switch on top of the casing, which also acts as a low battery indicator. One white Maxbright LED creates a powerful 165Lumen spot beam for long throw illumination; a pair of white Ultrabright LED’s delivers a dimmable flood plus two red Ultrabright LED’s for preserving night vision. The Vizz features ‘heatsink technology’ to prevent overheating and like all of the company’s ‘Professional Series’ of Headlamps, it’s waterproof to IPX-7 standard plus it uses Princeton Tec’s own regulated circuitry making it also lithium battery compatible. It can be purchased with a red, black or green casing.

SYNC

The Sync measures 65 X 35 X 40mm and weighs 83 grams (3 X AAA Alkaline batteries). The LED configuration includes an Ultrabright red LED flanked by a white Maxbright Spot and Flood beams. A side positioned twist power dial gives direct access to the red LED, then increments of rotation switch on the spot, flood and a dual beam modes (spot and flood together when you require its full 90Lumen output.)

REMIX

story continues below...

Last but not least is the ‘king’ of the trio and a first for Princeton Tec’ as it’s rechargeable. The lamp head measures 32 X 61 X 34mm and holds one white Maxibright 185Lumen LED and to the right are a triangular cluster of three ‘dimmable’ Ultrabright red LED’s. All light modes are accessed by the generously sized top positioned rubber pressure switch. The Lithium rechargeable battery is housed in a 70 X 93 X 25mm pack at the rear of the headband and mounts flashing rear lights.

The battery is charged via a weather sealed micro-USB port with a power meter display showing the charge status. The light comes with a USB lead to connect it to a computer for charging but should the need arise it can also be powered by 3 X AAA Alkaline batteries and weighs 155 grams if used with this alternative power source.

PRICE: £49, £34.95 and £87.95 respectively
