Hello all
I'm looking for a good quality headlamp to be used mainly to walk to and from my deer stand but secondarily for general tasks around my house. I started looking at the Fenix HM50R and the Zebralight H32. I'm not really excited about buying Cr123a's, but in reality it would only be a few every year and the Fenix provides a rechargeable option.
The zebralight website has the H32 listed as back order but they have a lot of H600 models on sale. This led me to thinking that maybe now is a good time to make the jump. I don't currently have any lithium-ions but I've read some stuff and and comfortable with the risks but have a couple of questions.
1- How do these cells handle short term storage in high or low temperatures? Basically it will stay in my hunting pack. This pack is normally kept in the house but could be left in my truck for a day or two during the season. This could lead to extremely high temps in August and low 20s at night in December. This isn't a practice, but could happen.
2- At what temperature (low end) will I start having performance issues? Again, I could be hunting in the 20's.
What do you all think? Should I go with the H600 or stick with the CR123A lights? Is there another light you recommend that I haven't mentioned?
Thanks in advance.
