| The Black Diamond Vectra IQ Headlamp emits brilliant light, when using either the LEDs or xenon bulb. Four Superbright LEDs above a xenon bulb provide excellent lighting regardless of the activity. Intelligence has been integrated into its circuitry making its power output more efficient. Constant illumination, a battery-power meter and "mode memory" all help increase illumination and efficiency. A redesigned battery box with a rubber back provides comfort while housing four AA batteries. The Vectra IQ is a powerful and highly functional headlamp for any nighttime activity. Spare Bright Xenon Bulb included. -vendor |

"Let there be light"
1 word WOW! This headlamp is simply amazing. Top notch technology,6 brightness levels,super burn time,& so light on the head you may just forget you're wearing it! I use it every snow fall up here in the Adirondacks to shovel snow & do snowblowing at night,putting the dogs out at bedtime & Yesterday when the lights went out(Very High Winds)to make breakfast & Lunch.HANDS FREE is the ticket! Versatile,easy to use, valuable Asset anytime you need light. I highly recommend it if you demand the best quality, features & price. Added Plus:Locator blinker to find the light fast(Burns for 5 years!)& to let you know how much battery power is left. Awesome in every sense of the word. Unmatched by the competitors. Try it yourself/You'll like(LOVE)it!Turn night into day. Yes, you'll be looking for excuses to use it!HEHE
Excellent Product
In a word, Fantastic. The LEDs are indeed super-bright and for general use, the LEDs are sufficient to light your way. I have a Soliras as well and compared to that, the difference in the LEDs are amazing - well 2 vs 4 so go figure. The reflector does an excellent job of optimizing the light and the "Find Me" light is an added bonus. I normally don't use the main xenon light but that is really bright as well. Better value for money than the Soliras I believe but with that light, you are basically buying the rechargeable battery with a brighter beam.Would definitely recommend the Vectra IQ to anyone wanting a bright light and excellent proximity lighting. If you need a further reaching light and a rechargeable battery, go with the Soliras. I couldn't decide which so I bought both.
Vectra IQ Headlamp
I think the Vectra IQ Headlamp is one of the best headlamps I found in my week long research on headlamp products, it is stylish and use 4 AA batteries instead of 3 (although changing batteries is little difficult and needs to be made easier), the 4 LED diodes produce sufficient lightning with no artifacts and the xenon bulb is brighter than a 4D Maglite flashlight if not equivalent. I am pretty delighted with the purchase of this headlamp and I hope you will too.
Bang for your bucks! (No, I don't mean it like that.=))
I haven't been able to find another headlamp which can match the features of the Vectra IQ for this price. I'm not a big fan of any sort of proprietary, impossible-to-replace-unless-you-pay-nearly-the-same-price-as-that-of-a-whole-new-product, rechargeable battery pack. You can find AA batteries pretty much anywhere. The three straps and concave battery box have proven comfy for prolonged periods; at least on my melon.The combo "Find Me" and battery life indicating LED are great. It even reports the remaining juice separately for each of its seven modes. Obviously you'll be able to go a bit further with the 4 LEDs on "Strobe" than with the Xenon bulb on "Max".Seems plenty sturdy too. Definitely one of the least ill-conceived pieces of kit I've purchased in a while.

I highly recommend this product after comparing it with the Solaris which I also have.Strengths:Memory mode4 Leds (very bright)Find-Me lightExcellent reflectorBright main xenon light.No weaknesses that I have seen. I use this lamp when I go night skiing. If the slope is sufficiently lit, I use the Leds and otherwise the main beam. I use the Solaris if it is really dark or when my batteries are low. The Solaris is a good backup light in this case.Definite Buy. Value for money.
