The Gear Junkie have published a review of the Mila PLS 100 headlamp. 'Touted as a “ridiculously bright headlamp for serious users,” the Swedish-designed and manufactured Mila PLS 100 was for years unlike any recreational light source available in this country. But a new U.S. distributor, Mila USA (www.milausa.com), now makes the wearable spotlight available for nocturnal athletes on this side of the Atlantic. Developed for nighttime skiing, running, climbing, orienteering and adventure racing, the Mila’s halogen bulbs produce a wide-angle bubble of light, a yellow cloud of virtual sun that stretches hundreds of feet into dark night. You can pedal full speed while riding singletrack after dark or swing your head to reveal exact topographic details on the land while running an orienteering course.'

iRunFar have published a review of the Petzl Tikka Plus, E+Lite, and Zipka lights. 'The Tikka Plus is a workhorse. This light-weight (78 g), 4-LED headlamp provides plenty of light for a full night's worth of trail running on 3 AAA batteries. Most LED headlamps lose some brightness over the course of a night (or longer) and the Tikka Plus is no exception. (Some larger LED headlamps have regulators that maintain more constant brightness.) As a habit, I do put fresh batteries in my Tikka Plus before each focus 100 mile race to maximize brightness. However, many times I've used one set of batteries for the equivalent of multiple nights of running and not thought twice about the brightness of Tikka Plus.'

Kendall Card writing over at FeedTheHabit.com has posted a review of the UK Vizion 3AAA eLED Headlamp. 'The UK Vizion 3AAA Headlamp is new to the outdoor market which is stacked with headlamps. Seems like everyone wants in on the LED market and slapping your logo on something mass produced out of China is the method most use. Seriously, just looking at my gear closet I came up with 7 different models of headlamps from 3 different manufacturers. So when I first set eyes on the UK Vizion at the Winter Outdoor Retailers show in Salt Lake City I was skeptical that a new entry to the market could give me anything more innovative and useful that I hadn’t already seen. Not only was I wrong in my assumption about the quality, I’m happy to say that I have been pleasantly surprised with the performance.'
