BEST HEADLAMP - looking for combo of flood and throw!

My third post, hoping 3’s the charm! Looking for killer value high lumen value head lamp, any recommendations!??

REQUIRED
750 lumens or more
waterproof
not complete flood or throw, something in between

NICE TO HAVE
takes different colored lenses
can zoom beam (not even sure if they do that any more)

Currently thinking about:

Don’t have experience with either off those models… But if you don’t want a thrower or complete flood headlamp, get something with an optic. The armytek wizard pro seems to fit your bill nicely. It does have a 800 plus lumen output, some nice firefly modes… And you can find it under a $100 if you look carefully. I love mine. Any headlamp claiming that high of an output will not sustain that sort of output for more than a few minutes because of thermal regulation or auto stepdowns. Think of anything over a 500 lumen headlamp as a 500 lumen or less lamp with a burst mode when you need a lot of light. I’ve swam while using my armytek in shallow water. It’s built like a tank and should fit the bill.

I can’t remember if it takes lenses though, as it’s not a feature I use…. Doing a quick check of their site… Doesn’t look like they make filters.

wow, the armytech wizard pro looks ideal

Might look for it at Massdrop, I think they have an interest list going again. If they do, be sure to get on the list.

contemplating this, found a good deal
