Princeton Tec, widely regarded as a leading manufacturer of portable lighting products for outdoor sports enthusiasts, has added another choice to their extensive collection of headlamps.
The new 'Quad' headlamp, which sports four LEDs, brings the number of LED-only headlamps offered by Princeton Tec to six, and expands the total number of headlamps in the PT line to thirteen.
PT Offers Products for Demanding Environments
Since its founding in 1975, Princeton Tec has strived to manufacture and market flashlights, headlamps, and diving lights that are suited to the most abusive of outdoor environments.
Bill Stephens, founder and President of Princeton Tec, explains, "For thirty years Princeton Tec's goal has been to support the outdoor community by building products for the people who use them." He adds, "Outdoor enthusiasts do not restrict themselves to just one type of recreational activity, and neither has Princeton Tec. Our products are designed to enhance all outdoor activities, crossing the boundaries from scuba and water sports; to camping and backpacking; to snowsports; alpine sports and road biking.
This perspective has contributed to the development of al of Princeton Tec's products; from innovative flashlights like the PT Rage®, PT Surge®, and PT Attitude®, to specialized products like the PT Shockwave® line of diving lights. All are designed to be durable, dependable, ergonomically designed, and most of all, bright.

The Quad is the lightest in Princeton Tec's line of regulated-LED headlamps. Weighing in at a mere 82 grams (2.9 ounces) with 3 AAA Lithium batteries, the Quad manages to produce a rated 21 lumens from four Ultrabright LEDs.
The LEDs are protected inside a tough waterproof housing that is designed to survive severe impacts and provide water-tightness up to one meter.
The Quad® is equipped with voltage-regulation circuitry that helps the LEDs provide constant brightness for a claimed 50 hours on high. additionally, the headlamp allows for three brightness levels (high, medium, low) and a 'flash' feature for high-visibility and an incredible 120 hour runtime.
The light includes a sophisticated battery power meter, that offers a three-step indicator for displaying a high, medium, or low battery level. Continued...
