Picture yourself driving down a two-lane freeway. It’s dusk, headlights just came on, and you’re cruising at about 80mph, just enjoying the music and looking forward to getting home from your long road trip. You notice a shadow in the adjacent lane about 150 ft ahead. You flick on the brights and give a wide […]

I finally got my hands on a ZebraLight H502, and have confirmed that it is quite a mighty little headlamp. Before the H502, I had never truly experienced a true flood torch.
