Princeton Tec Axis

The Axis is a lightweight, low-profile headlamp that punches above its size, and it is made in the USA, which is increasingly rare in this category. It combines a spot beam for distance, a flood beam for area work, and a red LED that preserves night-adjusted vision, up to 450 lumens across the set. A single push-button cycles red, white spot, then white flood, and a dial around the button dims each. It recharges over USB and weighs under three ounces, so it earns its place on your head for camp, trail, or a task at home during an outage.
