- We wanted to give you the ability to get exactly the right amount of light at exactly the right time for whatever you're getting into- chasing a late night hatch on the river, dawn patrol on the trails, or hanging with friends around camp. That's why the Axis headlamp was designed with a simple, intuitive hybrid control system- a button to move you through red, spot and flood modes, and a dial to dim (and brighten) each mode to help you find the sweet spot for any task. The Axis comes in a alkaline battery and rechargeable models.

Princeton Tec has been building personal lighting products trusted in the backyard, the backcountry on the battlefield and below the sea in the USA since 1975.
This looks great, though I wish people would stop calling single button interfaces 'intuitive'. But are you ever going to come out with an updated usb-c version?
I was really hoping this would be a current-controlled headlamp, but that touch of flicker would suggest it is PWM.
Hey! Thanks for checking out the Axis. As you surmised, it is a PWM. PWM is what we see as the best option to create a high quality headlamp with the dimming function, but keep it in a friendly price point, as the Axis is part of our "Family Series" of product. You probably already are aware of this - but the way the camera records light (depending on the frames per second) is different than how your eye perceives it, in person the small "flicker" you mention is not able to be seen in person.
Why oh why do manufacturers build such wonderful headlamps with utterly STUPID push button on/off switches that switch on in a pack and run down batteries? Use a twist on switch, or put a latchable cover over the button. This comment from 50 years of wilderness use. Princeton tech was my first headlamp, and my second and third...
Because it has a Lock Out mode to prevent that. From the manual:
"Lock out Mode to prevent accidental activation: Can only
be activated during OFF mode. To enter Lockout mode,
press and hold button for three seconds. To indicate
success, two red LEDs will flash"
@@MJ12283 Thanks! Didn't know that. Am impressed that you had a manual and actually read it! I'm still a dinosaur that would prefer a simple bomb proof on/off switch rather finding programming options in a manual, one option of which is to time my hold on a button and await flashing lights. :-) I have moved on to a Zebra light by now. Sincerely, thanks.
