terrific!
mine says 139 lumens max on the box, but it appears brighter than my Petzl MYO RXP which is 140 lumens. that’s an insignificant difference but without knowing the specifications I would have said the Lenser is at least 50 lumens brighter. the lens really makes a huge difference! Coast has a patent for the headlamp+lens combination so other headlamps are forced to use a cheesy plastic diffuser to switch between narrow/diffuse focus, and that really doesn’t work as well.
also the weight on your head is practically nothing even with batteries in. I’d say it weighs around 2 pounds in all.
the one bad point is the mechanism to adjust the tilt up and down is pretty weak. it’s just a small plastic tab that ratchets into grooves on the lamp housing and I have heard others complain that the tab broke off of theirs.
it should be waterproof in the rain but I wouldn’t submerse it totally.
overall it’s perfect for what I use it for (working on the car, attic, inside computers, nighttime walking) but hardcore outdoorsmen might need something more durable.
Update (2/7/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

5 Stars
I purchased this unit a month ago. It’s been used 5 days a week under all outdoor and some confined conditions. This headlamp is small enough to be used under a baseball type cap or on the outside depending on wheather you have to look down a lot or look up. Making it rechargeable on a daily basis ensures fresh battery life for several hours during a work shift. It has yet to fail me with dead batteries.
The light intensity is excellent in spot and wide angle modes. The light weight and balance of this headlamp is very confortable that you can forget having it on. I find it to be a must have for a night time working environment.
