The Enduro Pro brings the company’s Enduro line to two commercial grade headlamps. At 50 lumens on high, the original Enduro was a relatively low output light. The Enduro Pro adds a new dimension to the line with a multi-mode operation and night vision illumination with green or red L.E.Ds. The light has three modes of operation: flood (low, medium and high), spot (low, medium and high) and night vision (low, high red or green). Selecting between modes is a simple matter of pressing the activation button for 2 seconds from the on position. The Enduro Pro also has

White Light Streamlight introduced the BANDIT® during Shot Show 2017. The 2017 headlamp was available in yellow or black models. Both of these were, low and high, white light only; as well, as an emergency flash mode. I reviewed the 2017 BANDIT in August 2017. For 2018, Streamlight added the coyote model, a 180 lumen white light with red or green night vision illumination. Accessing the green or red illumination mode requires a three second press on the activation pushbutton.
High 180 lumens runtime 2 hrs. Low 35 lumens runtime 9.5 hrs.

High 135 lumens runtime 3 hrs. Low 25 lumens runtime 13.5 hrs.
The Bandit with the hat clip installed weighs a mere 1.4 oz. and is even lighter with the headband at 1.3 oz. This lightweight rechargeable headlamp is IPX4 water resistant and drop tested to 2 meters. And, better yet you can pick one up for under twenty bucks. The Bandit is great for emergency lighting, camping and other outdoor activities or for all of you shady tree mechanics. -SP
All Bandit headlamps ship with a removable hat clip for attachment to your visor and are USB rechargeable.
