Just putting the word out on two very nice headlamps that have come down the pipes recently. The Cree XML seems to be pairing with fairly floody reflectors.
I have the spark 500. I didnt like it at first because it was a drastic change from the all flood headlamp I had. Turns out after adjusting to it that I prefer it for the little throw it does give. My only problem with it is that it is a bit heavy and cant really push a XML hard with its 500 lm max that is thermal limited. That combined with the price puts the spark in second place for me.
I have a H600 in the mail right now. No I'm not a baller but it will get to where I'm working faster then the cheap light I wanted to buy. Anyhow I think its going to make a killer mine light!
The two lights represent some good output for the money. Of course hand held cannons are still the best bang for the buck, but reasonably good priced headlamps with some juice seems like a new trend.
