Princeton Tec Apex 650 Lumen Waterproof Headlamp - APX20

DESCRIPTION

The brightest headlamp in our professional series, the Apex, has been a favorite of extreme outdoorsmen and cavers for years. The pinnacle of waterproof LED headlamp design, the Apex incorporates a single regulated Maxbright LED plus four regulated Ultrabright LEDs. The Apex is capable of a powerful spot beam or a bright flood, and two switches make changing modes intuitive. Proprietary heatsink technology allows the LEDs to burn brighter and longer. SKU: APX20 POWER: 650 Lumens LAMP: 1 Maxbright LED (regulated), (dimmable) / 4 White Ultrabright LEDs (regulated), (dimmable) BURN TIME: 12 hours BATTERIES: 4 AA Alkaline or Lithium WEIGHT: 9.8oz / 279g WATER RESISTANT: IPX7 WARRANTY: Lifetime The battery power meter provides continuous feedback on the condition of the batteries, indicating high, medium or low battery life. This information allows you to make educated decisions about changing batteries or packing a spare set. Dimmable LEDs provide the precise output needed for a given task, and help conserve battery power for maximum efficiency. Sometimes we use the word dimmability, which isn't exactly a word yet, but we're very fond of it and have faith it will become one. IPX7 lights provide waterproof integrity down to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. A collimator gathers all available light from an LED in the form of scattered rays and re-emits the light as parallel rays, making it more optically efficient than a standard reflector. Princeton Tec calibrates each collimator to the type of LED and application of each light. With proprietary optimized collimator/lens systems, Princeton Tec continues to advance LED technology. The highest quality LED available. Princeton Tec's Maxbright LED is extremely bright and efficient. This single LED emits a smooth, powerful, white light useful for a wide range of tasks. Princeton Tec uses collimators or reflectors with the Maxbright LED depending upon the application. Must yell "MAXBRIGHT" when saying term out loud. This beam pattern combines focused narrow and wide beams to allow for the most versatility. At close range, the wide beams simulate normal daylight conditions so you can take advantage of your peripheral vision, while focused narrow beams provide distance illumination. Multiple settings on many of our products give you the flexibility to adjust your light's brightness to illuminate greater distances or to conserve battery power, depending on your needs. Lights that feature regulated LEDs have a sophisticated regulating circuit that maintains initial brightness as long as the batteries have sufficient voltage. They are so sophisticated that if they had eyes, they would definitely wear a monocle. Traditional lights are very bright initially, but immediately begin to dim and continue to dim until the batteries are drained. Constant Brightness is a term used to describe products that have regulated LEDs. The Ultrabright LED is bright and efficient. The smooth, white, wide-beam light emitted by Ultrabright LEDs is ideal for close to mid-range tasks. Ultrabright LEDs are usually grouped together to offer a more powerful light source. Advances currently underway will continue to improve the efficiency and brightness of Ultrabright LEDs. "Ultrabright" can also be yelled when using the term in conversation, but not nearly as loud as "Maxbright". Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) is an independent, not-for-profit product-safety testing and certification organization. They have been testing products for public safety for more than a century. In order for a product to bear the certified UL Mark, it must pass all UL requirements at their testing facility. Visit our website to view thousands more products like this and order online at:
