Princeton Tec Fred is a compact and reliable headlamp designed for professionals and outdoor enthusiasts. It offers a combination of white and red light, ensuring maximum adaptability during nighttime activities while also preserving night vision. Its lightweight and durable design makes it an ideal choice for military use, camping and tactical operations.
The red LED minimizes glare and helps maintain eye adaptation to darkness. This is crucial during military operations, night fishing or camping. Switching between red and white light is intuitive and quick, so you don't lose precious seconds in critical situations.
Despite its light construction, the Fred headlamp can provide enough light for any situation. Four lighting modes allow for adjusting the light intensity to current needs, saving battery and extending operating time. The design is made to withstand harsh conditions and is resistant to water and impact.
The adjustable elastic strap easily adapts to any head or helmet size. The headlamp stays securely in place even during dynamic movement, which you'll appreciate while running, climbing or working in the field.
