The torch does really well for short periods of time with brand new batteries.
But it sucks batteries dry very fast and even when you put brand new batteries, it's always saying the it is running low on battery...
Won't hold 1h30 of continuous use at full power, it will start to reduce power...

Catch for the battery compartment immediately broke - didn't even get to close the compartment once, never mind use the head torch. Some combination of poor quality materials (brittle plastic) and poor design (plastic under tension, rather than a sliding cover/metal catch/screw) rendered the item useless! At least I was at home, rather than out on a hill in the dark when it happened. Will go with Petzl or another brand next time!
