Gamma Reviews

Like other reviews on here, quick customer and delivery services. Not many other online stores can compete with this. Well done guys.

Bought a couple of these recently as presents for friends as i’m constantly getting comments on how useful it is in a multitude of ways.

I take mine everywhere:
cycling to/from work (i leave 5am, so it’s still relatively dark, very useful to have direct light and hands free if i get a puncture). It can be placed over my helmet for extra lighting.

Walk home from the pub late at night down our unlit street. Since there’s a back flashing light this helps cars behind see me.

It’s been on many camping trips. Reading in the tent, preparing supper, night toiletries etc

I like the added over the head strap as i don’t feel like it’s going to fall down my head as i’m moving and i don’t have to have this strapped too tightly either.

It’s normal battery operated so no problem about having to find a specialised shop which sells button batteries.

I’m very impressed by this headtorch. Alot of other headtorches are pricier and don’t have as many functions and uses like the Gamma does.

Totally recommend to anyone.

Thanks Alpkit.

Fantastic headlight and service from Alpkit. Received within two days and with free duracell batteries - amazing customer service.

Bought the headlight initially as a back up to my far more expensive LED Lenser rechargeable headtorch. I can see the Alpkit having far more use than the LED Lenser, so that is now the back up headtorch!

Very well put together bit of kit, and for the price - truly amazing. Seperate rear red light strip, static or flash or OFF. One large WHITE LED to the front, with three individual small extra LEDS, WHITE, GREEN and RED ( RED - flashing or static state)above main lamp/LED.

I will buy another as a spare spare!!

The Gamma is very impressive, especially considering the price. My review here:

Thanks for a bargain Alpkit

Very happy with this, slight weakness with the lugs breaking off the lid but AK sent out a new lid PDQ so I’m very happy

Once again a fantastic product by alpkit I first brought the rig7 which is great but these head lamps are great value for money don’t think that there cheap so they will be bad I would put these as equivalent to a £50 head lamp I will carry on buying alpkit products as the value and build are Superb

i’ve just got back from a long cold winter tour in afghanistan and i want to congratulate you on your excellent kit. when my issue headtorch let me down whilst trying to confirm an ied at night, i got my wife to order a gamma as replacement. the functionality of the different coloured leds let me use it with out the worry of having a searchlight strapped to my head, the powerful white led helped on numerous occasions when that did’nt matter. it has been shoved in the bottom of pouches,worn during many afghan downpours and stepped/sat on hundreds of times and still works! well done on an excellent product

Fantastic product, with v. fast delivery - even over a Easter holiday weekend! Batteries as well - what more could you want.
Strongly recommended

Arrived VERY fast, and it’s got batteries too - haud me back!

Quite astonishing for the price. R light is a smashing idea, front is VERY bright on full chat.

Big thumbs up to the Alpsters!

I bought two early last year,one shortly after the other. One works with nimh rechargeables but the other one doesn’t. So the answer is that it seems to depend on the luck of the draw. Complete mystery why this should be when they use the same technology. Rechargeables are low discharge so the high discharge warning does not apply in the same way as for lithiums

Just received my first Gamma. First impressions outside in the back garden are excellent and the whole unit is much smaller than I expected it to be from the photos. With regard to the battery housing, I have scraped away a bit of the raised lug on the main housing that the cap clips over (hard to explain which bit), but it feels like it has taken a bit of pressure off when opening and closing the cap, which i’m much happier about as it did feel really tight. Looking forward to my first wild camp of the year now.
