Interesting! What is special with this one compared to e.g. the Lupine line of lamps? Same value for lower price? And how is this one compared to the (cheap) Dx lamp (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.29489 )?
Martin Melzer the engineer designing the lamp checked out Lupine and Petzl and found that everything on these lamps is made the cheapest way possible, execpt the design. They make their money by selling a cheap lamp high priced. Scurion comes from another angle: The basic model was developed for caving. There you need a lamp which is absolutely reliable, waterproof (e.g. 20m diving), unkillable (e.g.uncutable wiring)... Scurions ambition was to make the BEST lamp. For the Headlamp they/we introduced a slightly different focussing lens an made wiring lighter, lowering both weight and safety level.
One speciality of the Scurion is, that it has on LED illuminating at an angle of aprox. 300° which means everything in front of you as where you walk as the map you read (in german: Raumlicht). The second LED is aimed to the area up to 50m in front of you (Spot). You can easily programm up to five combinations of independent Spot+Raumlicht to easily react on different situations (as rainfall or thick vegetation where the reflection of the Spot will blind you else). All in all. It is expensive, but it's good and it will probably live longer than anyone of us. :)
I must have slept in geometry... 150° gets closer to reality.
I've used Lupine lamps for several years now, currently two versions of their top model, but yesterday I tried a DX lamp that cost less than 5% of a new Betty:
FandyFire F-L2 7 x CREE XM-L2 T6 3-Mode 4000LM White Bikelight / Headlamp - Black (4 x 18650)
At that price I can afford to replace it quite often, or I can use one of the smaller (and even cheaper) versions as a backup lamp for Jukola.
