Gamma Reviews

This torch is fantastic.  Way better than most that cost over double - I already have a Black Diamond and two Petzls.  For £12.50 with batteries I am going to get some more for Christmas presents.

This was my first purchase from AlpKit and the service had a lot to live up to following my trawl of the reviews.  I have to report that it was right up to the mark and my product arrived promptly 18 hours after ordering.

Thank you and I am rapidly recommending you to my friends.

I’ve been hankering after a Petzl for years but have always been put off by the £30+ price tag, instead settling for a heavy midiMagLite and headband.

So it was with a bit of trepidation that I added the Gamma to my basket, thinking ‘you get what you pay for’ ...that was until it arrived (the next day!!!). What an absolutely stunning piece of kit for the price.

First thing I did was blind myself turning it on (in a bright sunshine-lit office) of course. After the blue blobs faded away from my vision, I realised that I was holding what must be the bargain of the decade in my hands.

Very very well done AlpKit, this is a remarkable headtorch. I am at a loss as to how you’ve managed this for £12.50 inc Duracells and p&p;.

Stunned.

Have been using the Gamma for the past month. Really impressed with the quality and performance of this product. Even more impressed by the customer service and rapid delivery.

Almost blinded myself testing it out! Fantastic bit of kit. I’m sure single LED is almost as good as my old Petzl and big light mus beat all the opposition at that price

Good - really fast delivery.
Bad - it’s crap.........

....only saying this to make sure the prices don’t jump up! Superb piece of kit!

Forgot to mention - extremely fast delivery (and free)
I ordered at about 10 pm Sunday night and it arrived Tuesday morning including a handwritten note thanking me for my order - very pleased with service from Alpkit.
Keep up the good work

This has got to be the best headlamp I have tried. Its small, VERY bright and light. The rear led is a bonus as well. I would happily of paid 3 times this price or more for a lamp of this quality and feature set. Will definately recommend to friends. Might even get a spare just for the hell of it!

I’ve had my Gamma for 4 Month’s now, and it has seen plenty of action bieng used assisting on Mountain Rescue night training, Midnight bouldering, Fixing the car, camping and even a small outing on the Bike.

After initially thinking it was a perhaps a bit flimsy when i opened the packaging, Here i am with the Alpkit Gamma taking pride of place as my first choice Head Torch with a powerful 1W main beam that beats most other halogen lamps, and suffiecent output from the 5mm leds that battery life is something you don’t have to worry about.

Great piece of kit! Keep it up Alpkit!

I bought this headtorch thinking “it ain’t gonna be better than my Black Diamond”.  Well I’m jealous as I bought it for a friend who is off to South Amerika shortly, I guess she will write a review here and let you know about all the bugs she encounters.  Fab product though, took a bit of working out how to make it all work (+ an email to the lovely people at ALPKIT)

I took the Alpkit for a spin in a overnight cross-channel yacht race last weekend, and despite being rained on and covered in salt water, it worked brilliantly. The bright LED was more than enough for everything even in torrential rain.

Also quite reassuring having something with two bright flashing LEDs on your head should you end up in the water.

Couple of things though with the interface on the lighting modes:
To get to red or green, you need to turn on the small white LED, wrecking your night vision. It would be good if it remembered which LED mode it was on.
If you are swapping between big/small LEDs (long press), if you do it right after turning the light on, they swap without going off. If the light has been on for more than a minute, the light will go off during the swap. Would be nice if you had light at all times.
