Honestly, I wouldn't even want 225 lumens on a headlight. Have you ever used a bright headlight in dusty or foggy conditions? It makes me go cross-eyed. The light source needs to be further away from the eyes, IMO.
What I mean is, I don't like headlamps to be "throwers". I usually use a dimmer, floody headlamp and keep a thrower in my hand or pocket for short bursts.
Little more powerful than I would want on my forehead!However, looks useful. Can't figure out from the pic whether the batteries are housed separately or are up front under the lens - would be a bit heavy I think.

That's what I don't like about these headlamps, too heavy with a battery pack strapped to back of head. I now use a PT apex extreme that has a 8AA belt pack, will literally run all night at max too.

It sounds impressive but I don't think I'll bother. I'm still very happy with the modded Princeton Tec I bought off Terry last year. Its a very practical headlight.
