Princeton Tec Byte Headlamp Flashlight: Lead Free

When tested with an XRF instrument this Princeton Tec Byte Headlamp / Flashlight had the readings below. Please note: I do not do deconstructive testing, I test items assembled / as they would be used. So if there is Lead on the inside (for example, with the battery) my test results would not have this information. All tests are done for a minimum of 60 seconds.
