Rechargeable Headlamp,18000 Lumen Bright 8 Led Head Lamp, 16 Modes Adjustable Motion Sensor Headlight with Red Light, Waterproof Head Flashlight for Outdoor Hiking Camping

I purchased this to keep in the barn/workshop on my farm.What I was looking for:- Dedicated rechargeable batteries- Several choices of light intensity type and direction- An intuitive method of operation with reliable controls- A comfortable and adjustable fitBatteries: My previous headlamp had corroded out when the off AA batteries lost their seal. I wanted to try a rechargeable setup this time so I wouldn't have to inventory the right size of batteries where I will keep this. There are broad temperature variations in the metal building depending on the season and I've found off the shelf batteries don't always hold up well in those conditions. I tend to use the light more in fall/winter when daylight is lacking and it may sit unused for weeks at a time during the summer. Will the rechargeable ones be a better choice? Time will tell. I rated Battery life as 3/5 stars for this reason- I will just assume average for now but will adjust if I find them to be much better or much worse.- light intensity / direction - At times I'm hiking outside and want a fairly straight and bright light and this provides that on the high setting. But more often I just need supplemental light outside at dusk or inside in the windowless barn. I'm almost 60 and if I can touch something with my hands I'm going to be looking through reading glasses to see it. The hinge that allows the angle of the light to move from straight ahead to almost straight down is firm enough to hold the light it the right position, and the low intensity settings work well for reading a manual in average light of tightening screws in shadows. I've never used a red light to preserve night vision so I can't offer anything on that setting other than it appears to be the right intensity to read a map in near total darkness.- intuitive method of operation with reliable controls:The "manual" had the smallest print I think I've ever seen and would have been difficult to read had I not left it at home when i first installed the batteries and experimented with the light. I winged it and figured out how to adjust the high beam via clicking through and then how to get into the low beam mode (holding button down) and clicking through those settings. Easy enough. The control button has a good feel to it- on a previous light the button was too easy to activate and it would click on sometimes when it wasn't supposed to, leaving me finding dead batteries when i went to use it. It appears to be water tight as well although I have not and will likely never test that.-comfortable and adjustable fit:The angle of the light is adjustable per earlier in the review.As far as the fit of the strap etc - the straps and buckles seem solid- sturdier than others I have owned. The only issue is a have a large head, an unusually large head. With the straps opened up as much as possible it is still a little snug. An other half inch or so would be all I need to have a perfect fit. As it stands I'm not sure if I will get a "skull-crusher" headache from the tightness of the strap or not. Probably not as I don't know that I'll be wearing this continuously for long periods of time, but this sort of thing has given me issues before. If it loosens up a bit with wear it will be perfect.Overall: first impressions are very good and I would recommend.

This headlamp is the best around for the price. I love the output!!! Bright!!!! And it is rechargeable!! What more could you ask for?!

I bought this to upgrade my old headlamp to something brighter with swappable 18650's, without breaking the bank, and this fits the bill perfectly.Pros:It's quite bright on it's highest settings, with a strong central beam of about 15° and about 90° of moderate wide area illumination. The lower power alternate modes seem great for activities like reading without blinding anybody. The red mode is plenty bright to be able to see nearby in the dark without messing with your night vision. It's quite comfortable with a soft band and curved, padded brackets at the front and back to contour the head, and feels light enough. The angle can be adjusted 90° from straight ahead to straight down with 3 settings in-between.Cons:Nothing significant, but there are some things worth mentioning. It is a little on the bulkier side, but that's to be expected with a double 18650 battery pack and 6 different lights up front. The many modes it offers are nice, however it does take a while to get used to how to cycle through them all to get to the one you want. I don't see much use for a head strobe, and with how bright it is, it's a little annoying that you have to cycle through strobe mode to turn the light off. It comes with a lower-end pair of 1500 mAh 18650's (expected), but I was a little disappointed about to see a typo in the warning ("recerse" instead of "reverse"). The waterproof door on the charging port fits a little loose, so I wouldn't trust it, but since I use a dedicated charger, I'll probably glue it shut.Other thoughts:I wanted one that took 18650s since I already have plenty of good quality batteries, however I didn't realize that this was designed for button-tops (blue), but not flat-tops (yellow). Fortunately, I was able to put a very slight bend in the (+) contacts (try at your own risk) and my flat-tops work fine now, but it would've been better if it was designed to accept both styles. Build quality seems about average. It feels solid and probably wouldn't have an issue withstanding a fall, but I don't think it would stand up to prolonged heavy abuse. The third mode with the 4 main lights on doesn't seem necessary, as the bright pair washes out the dimmer pair. If you want the red light at night, you do have to go through 2 white light modes, however it is only the most dim white reading modes. I don't use it often enough to comment on longevity, but you can buy batteries with twice the capacity, and either swap or recharge when the light starts to dim.Overall, it's a great, affordable headlamp that ticks all the good boxes without any significant cons.

Al principio dude de la Luz que da. Hasta que me hablaron y me dijeron que necesitaba estar completamente oscuro para su función y si funciona mejor así. La batería dura muy poco. Si lo necesitas para una tarea rápida te servirá muy bien.
