Zebralight H52W Headlamp Review





I recently purchased a Zebralight H52W Headlamp to replace my cheap Energizer headlamp. My main reason for doing this was to decrease weight, increase output time, and consolidate to a common battery (AA) for all my electronics. I’ve posted a link to the manufacturer’s website below and have listed some of the important specs. The workmanship/quality of this light is very high and I think anyone would be pleased with its performance in many conditions. This is a really cool headlamp!!

Lamp Weight: 1.1 oz (31 grams)
Headband Weight: .9 oz (25 grams)
Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA (15 grams)

System Weight 2.5 oz (71 grams)

The brightness output is user selectable and has 3 main levels (High, Medium and Low).
Each main level can be programmed to one of two sub-levels. The second sub-level can be further programmed to different brightness levels.
Light Output vs. Runtime:

High:               H1 280 Lm (0.9 hrs), H2 172 Lm (1.7 hrs) / 108 Lm (3 hrs)
Medium:          M1 50 Lm (7.5 hrs),  M2 25 Lm (12 hrs) / 12 Lm (27 hrs)
Low:                L1 2.7 Lm (4 days), L2 0.34 Lm (3 weeks) / 0.06 Lm (2 months) / 0.01 Lm (3 months)

Beacon Strobe Mode: 4Hz / 19Hz Strobe at H1
    
The light can use 14500 batteries. Light output with this battery is 500Lm for the first minute and then it steps down to 280Lm.
