One of the latest additions to Princeton Tec's line of head lamps, the Remix Pro is a higher spec-ed version of the Remix. It has a compact size and weight being almost completely made of plastic. Being run on a single CR123 battery also helps keep its weight down as compared to some other models which run on a battery pack of multiple AA/AAA batteries. The lamp module itself comprises of two main parts, which allows it to be mounted on the head band and also lets it swivel vertically about 90° at 10° increments. On the top on the lamp is a rubberized push button switch which doesn't have much travel but provides sufficient tactile feedback. A plastic window sits on the front which protects the LEDs and reflector. There are two options of lighting with the Remix Pro. A high flux LED sits behind a smooth reflector which is advertised to provide a narrower, further throwing beam. While an array of three 5mm LEDs produces a wider, flood-type beam. The battery cover is located on the side of the lamp. It closes with a latch and mounted on a hinge so there's no worry of losing or dropping it during battery changes.

The Remix Pro is advertised as being able to provide two types of beam profile. A narrow beam with the XP-E LED (narrow beam) focused by a smooth reflector, and an array of 5mm LEDs (wide beam) which should provide a flood beam profile. Practically though, there really wasn't any significant noticeable difference between the beam profiles while testing this light. They both produce a noticeable bright medium-sized spot area, though the narrow beam has a larger and more usable spill beam. There are apparent differences in beam color temperature with the narrow beam having a warm tint and wide beam giving a cool violet tint which is typical of most 5mm LEDs. Each of the LED selection can be activated on High/Low modes. As expected, the wide beam produces much less overall output, about 30% on their respective High modes. As a positive trade off, the wide beam does provide much longer run time. Regulation is pretty good with all output modes, with a minor exception of the XP-E on High mode which has a slight initial drop in output. The user interface needs some familiarization to use effectively. From Multiple presses of the switch toggles between Low/High levels. Holding down the switch in any mode toggles between spot and flood beam modes. From the Off position, the light always turns on at flood beam Low mode first. Low output levels are achieved via PWM with noticeable pulsing.

The Good - Light weight. Large Switch for easy access.

The Bad - No vertical strap on headband. User interface could be improved.

The Relative - Both warm and cool beam color temperature available. Uses a toggle push button switch.
