TGU Gear Review: Princeton Tec Fuel Headlamp

Written by aislingc

Princeton Tec FUEL Headlamp

DUBLIN, IRELAND (Team Geared Up) - The Fuel headlamp Princeton Tec sent TGU to review has become my new favourite piece of kit!!

I’m not quite up to making light graffiti but the Princeton Tec FUEL Headlamp has been stuck to my head for my last few Wednesday Night Runs.

It’s very tiny and light (also important if YOU are tiny and light ;-) ), so tiny that I was a little afraid of how robust it would be. I have a habit of carrying my headtorch for a while and dropping it a lot but this thing took some punishment. Firstly it throws off a big wide beam, it pivots really nicely on one side only and the button is easy to push. Sounds basic but I have torches that don’t!

The little plastic adjuster at the side is also the clip to remove the battery cover! Clever or what!? I really like the idea that the torch part can be removed and can be clipped onto a jacket. Other good uses for a headlamp: heading down the bottom of your garden at night to the compost bins, yeah I know, adventurous or what?

Currently it’s cable-tied to my mountain biking helmet!

Disclosure: The Fuel headlamp was sent to TGU as a review unit by Princeton Tec. Thanks Princeton!
