Princeton Tec Fuel Headlamp, $24.99
New for 2008, Princeton Tec’s Fuel headlamp is not only practical
but inexpensive. At only 78 grams (with batteries) the
Fuel emits 15 lumens of light and has a burn time of 160 hours
of burn time. It features four output settings (high, medium,
low and fast flash) and three Ultralight LEDs which makes the
Fuel one of the lightest 3AAA headlamps out there.
Its unique design and triangular battery layout makes for for
a smaller front profile, which allows for the inclusion of the
easy access battery door and creates a tougher and more secure
housing for the headlamp’s electronics. Tow other features
include an asymmetrical single arm bracket makes directing
the light effortless and reliable along with a large easy to find
push button switch.

• Editor’s Take
After receiving this headlamp only a few weeks before the
February issue was released, I was able to try the headlamp
out on several pre-sunrise trail runs and found the headlamp
to emit a large amount of light (compared with other products
its size) and was much lighter than larger models.
