FYI – Idiot finally finishes his unboxing at 2:45 and shows the headlamp
At least it isnt $1 per lumen… like surefire is known too
Looks like a pretty solid light, excepts that the runtime is really lousy, and I don’t like rechargeables. I could live with the recharging capability, excepts that the component is probably made in China, and I keep my lights as Chinese/non-ally-free as possible.
Good video; thanks! God bless.
Just received my maximus today 11-24-12 its a great headlamp the best i’ve ever had anyone would love this headlamp
the dial adjustable output is a great feature for sure
Pew pew, blind you with no hands!
thank you, and keep up the great reviews! I’m a new sub.
I’ll it prefere the H600 by zebralight…
would you recommend this headlamp for use during night rides? if not, which headlamp would you recommend. I’m looking for one with more flood/spill than throw.
In a pinch can you run standard CR123 batteries?
Really? Interesting, I wasn’t aware of that. Thanks for the info.
Can the battery be changed in the field?
Fantastic video review again.
No, not on this one.
There are a dozen better, brighter, less expensive headlamps. This light is not bright at all and the runtime sucks.
Actually the housing is not aluminum. It’s magnesium.
I’m looking for a really good headlamp for when I’m fishing at night
what do u recommend?
prob my favorite headlamp interface ive seen
I agree with VK regarding SF being lazy. In the tactical light market they’ve long since been comprehensively beaten on every front except customer care. Regarding the Maximus, what’s the housing made of? It looks like cheap plastic as opposed to the machined aluminium of the Saint.
You’ve made the best flashlight reviews. We’ve sure miss you sir.
been a fan of surefire since I heard of them, I got one of the first production runs of the “saint” headlamp , and is very please with it. the best thing about this is… (it has the options to use 2 AA batteries!)…..The only problem I have had is with the battery connections, AA connections seemed weak. other than that great tool!!
The zebralight is half the price, double the lumens and half the weight and the zebralight has strobe. Any questions?
open the damn thing already!!!!!
Might I inquire as to why you find that amusing?
Thanks for your review, I need your opinion in a specific matter. Do you think this model as useful for ENT examination, consider de lack of zooming function?…I really appreciate your advice
What about this light makes it a $200+ headlamp? Is it the 500 lumens? The adjustable output? Being rechargeable is certainly no big deal…
Good review as per usual BTW…
Lol @ crushmaster non chinese lol
Yes, I agree, the high-output is not bad. It’s the lower settings that are extremely underwhelming to me. My SureFire E2L Outdoorsman puts out 3 lumens (more like 10) for 100 hours; this only puts out one for 70.
As the SureFire Fury runs 15 lumens for about 45 hours, it seems odd they wouldn’t be able to get more out of it (I understand different LEDs being more efficient at different outputs).
Yes, they do use mostly US parts, which is why I like ’em. 🙂 I only buy US lights.
Thanks!
