Brett919It definitely gets turned on from time to time, but not as often as you might fear. Also, when it does turn on, because of the wheel design, it is always on a low function- either the red light or the lowest white which have the highest run times.

Just a heads up- Amazon has the non-lithium models for $25 (reflective gray) and $27 (vintage parks).

How does this compare to the A-120?
Edit: Nvm, seems to be mainly lumens > 120 vs 300 and their respective run times. Vapor AKA the A-300?
For anyone interested, I have the A-120 w/NiMH batteries and it is amazing (camping, working on cars, walks, etc). No complaints about anything.

I have to comment my tremendous disappointment in UCO and their customer service and so-called warranty. I got the last uco headlamp that showed up on massdrop and i hated it for a bunch of reasons, one of which was an obvious manufacturing defect.
I tried getting in touch with them periodically for a few months via their customer support email and phone number and got absolutely nothing. Then I started posting on their twitter, instagram, youtube, and facebook, and FINALLY someone got back to me claiming my emails had gotten caught in a spam filter. They didn't have an explanation for why they never returned my phone calls. The rep offered to send me a different model of headlamp (this one, the vapor, non-rechargeable). I guess that's better than nothing, but it left a bad taste in my mouth.

This seems like a nice enough headlamp, my only concern is that the run time is so low. Max setting the Li will do 48min and AAA does 1.5h. For short navigation when it gets darker or doing much around campsite at night (when not around fire or other lamp) just doesn't seem like a long time.

Pryor0nFireTo be fair, anytime I'm around the campsite, I don't want max brightness, even without a campfire, for concern of ruining everyone else's dark vision.
Yours is a valid concern for navigating trails. Even then, I don't think I'd be at max.

I got an A-120 on a previous drop. Love it. Most headlamps I've used are heavier in front because of the battery location and fiddly to get the right brightness setting (clicking buttons over and over). These UCOs use a twist-dimmer control for the main light, so it's super easy to get the setting you want immediately. And the red setting is a twist in the opposite direction.
I just ordered the + version off this drop for the rechargeable option. Probably gift my A-120 to a friend or something.

ScottReally? I was really disappointed by mine! Is the swivel that changes the angle of light super loose on yours? Because mine is constantly sagging down.
And I hate how rigid the headband is... It feels like I have to crack it really tight to make it stay put.

Description says flood and spotlight. Are they really different modes or just a variation in brightness of a single beam?

I love my UCO candle lanterns and mini-lanterns. But seriously, UCO: IPX4? And 1.5 hrs battery life? And no lockout to avoid accidental battery drain? Three strikes, yr out. My new Black Diamond Cosmo 225 has IPX8, lockout, dedicated mode switch, and better battery life, and weighs almost an ounce less.

Have had one of these for a couple years. Meh. Interesting attempt at semi-old school appearance and materials, but none of the design elements are really a win. Electronics are sketchy. Lens & reflector very unremarkable. Should have a dedicated on/off switch; the rotating bezel does provide convenient beam selection but it also tends to turn itself on as it gets moved around in a pack, etc. Sewn vinyl battery pack - why? Headband is comfortable but in the main this is way heavier than it needs to be. Ultimately this is an interesting design experiment but falls into the category of: "just because you can doesn't mean you should". Most would be better served by Patagonia, Mammut, Petzl, etc. offerings.
