Gives Outstanding Endorsement

Stacy Skaggs host of ‘In The Crosshairs Hunting’ and professional staff member at Northern Michigan Outfitters recently reviewed the new Outdoor Pro Gear Lighthouse Beacon 1000 LED headlamp. This headlamp currently available on Amazon.com has been very popular with outdoor enthusiasts. However, self-confessed headlamp skeptic Mr. Skaggs needed convincing that this product could deliver the functionality he was looking for. Much to his surprise, this headlamp ticked all the right boxes.

“I’ve never been a headlamp fan because I’ve never found one that fits comfortably on my head or is bright enough to do what I want it to do. All that changed when I got this lamp; now I’m a headlamp fan!” said Mr. Skaggs. There are many qualities of this headlamp that appeal to this outdoor aficionado, especially its brightness:

“The brightness is clearly a 6/5! It is the brightest headlamp we have used here so far. I was fishing with my buddy Travis and he used his headlamp and shined it in the water, we could kind of see the bottom but not really well. I hit it with my headlamp, and I could count rocks, I could see everything! The brightness in the headlamp is absolutely outstanding, it’s perfect. When you’re blood trailing an animal or trying to tie hook on at night, or just anything outdoors, camping, fishing hiking, taking the trash out; this is a perfect headlamp.”

Mr. Skaggs also noted how comfortable the Lighthouse Beacon 1000 LED headlamp is: “The battery pack is at the back, so it almost acts as a counter balance. You don’t even know it’s there, when you’re bending down or looking up it stays in place.” Other features Mr. Skaggs highlighted as particularly favorable included the simple on-off switch that’s easy to operate even with cold hands or when wearing gloves; plus its flawless adjustment with solid positioning so that the lamp won’t fall out of line.

Available on Amazon.com, this AA operated flashlight is economical to run, affordable, and durable. This favorable review from Mr. Skaggs is certain to hold a lot of weight as more people search for headlamps that are reliable and premium quality.

From Carbide to Cree. Headlamps Have Come a  Long Way.

Old Miner HeadlampHeadlamps have been around for decades, however initial designs were very crude, unreliable and often incredibly dangerous. Over the years, new designs have been developed to provide more reliable and powerful lighting options. Now company’s like Outdoor Pro Gear are delivering the next generation of sophisticated and refined designs revolutionizing headlamps and giving consumers more versatility than ever before.

In the late 1800’s carbide lamps were the dominate form of headlamps. These lamps ran on acetylene gas and had the potential to explode. Largely redundant now, carbide lamps are still occasionally used by cavers. Today modern headlamps run on batteries. The earliest versions were literally flashlights that could be worn on the head so that people could work hands-free. This is most certainly a big step up from carbides and hand-held devices that had to be propped up and aimed correctly for “hands-free” use. However, new advances in technology have brought about far more sophisticated designs.

“Headlamps have really come a long way since their inception and now the next generation in headlamps has arrived,” says Outdoor Pro Gear founder, cranberry farmer and outdoorswoman Marci Murray. “Your typical hardware store headlamp is 25-100 lumens. That might be fine if you’re working on something 2 feet away. But for your average outdoorsman, hunters, fishermen, campers, backpackers and hikers, 100 lumens just isn’t going to cut it. We want more. We want intense light. We need to be able to see well and see far. Our headlamp, the Lighthouse Beacon 1000 (LHB-1000) is 1000 lumens. It’s not your average hardware store headlamp. This is a whole different animal. It is truly the next generation in headlamps.”

The Outdoor Pro Gear Lighthouse Beacon 1000 LED headlamp is a cut-above-the-rest. Not only does it deliver exceptional lighting, it’s also versatile. Featuring an adjustable telescopic zoom allowing for wide and narrow beams, users also have the option of high, low, and strobe lighting. Run on three AA batteries, this headlamp is exceptionally efficient and will provide light for around 33 hours. The quality Cree XM-L T6 LED bulb has an incredible 100, 000 hour lifespan, that’s approximately 11 years of continuously lighting!

While it may be expected to pay a small fortune for a Lighthouse Beacon 1000 LED headlamp due to the superior design, it’s actually very affordable. Currently this product is on sale for $19.99 with free shipping when you buy 2 or more on Amazon.com. Outdoor Pro Gear also provides a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. People serious about lighting may wish to check this headlamp out, although it should be pointed out that at this low price supplies will run low quickly.
