ELMCHEE 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

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.

At first I was 50/50 about buy this headlamp because 2000 lumens for only 15 dollars, it sounded too good to be true. But I got it anyways and it’s exactly what I needed. I’m a postal service worker so I deliver to houses all day and at night time I deliver to really dark areas out by the mountain side. The light is so bright I can spot out deer and other animals from 100+ yards while at the same time lighting the long driveways. Which is fantastic because my hunting black diamond cost me 40 dollars and is no where near as bright for my job. As a work light I definitely recommend it but as a hunting light it’s a 50/50 because it doesn’t come with a red or green light but it is so bright you will be able to see longer distances with more chances or getting spotted but overall it’s a light worth getting if you will use another headlamp to catch your prey and use this one to light the way back home or to your car. The straps are also super comfortable for people to use with or without a hat. Now for battery life it’s great, I have charged it over night and the battery will last you anywhere from three to a week long depending on how long you are leaving the light on. So if you are say a mine working who needs it all day long I would recommend charging it every night, but if you are using it for low use like home projects and postal service than it’s one night of charging for three days or more. Lastly the cons about the light, which in my opinion is the light button to turn the light on & off. The light comes with four modes bright, low bright, bright & side bright for full brightness, and sos bright for help. Unfortunately with this light you have to press it four time until you turn it off, which I got use it after using it so long but for hunters that night get annoying so it 50/50 light for hunting but still worth getting. Overall it’s a great head lamp for the price and it very much comes in handy. I will add pictures later on showing the brightness of the light

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.

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.

PROSRed Light Mode- I chose this headlamp over others specifically for the front-facing red light only mode availability, which is surprisingly hard to find among other models, even those twice the price. As a replacement for a unit which broke during my trip for intended use, I did not get to use the function outdoors at night, but this is the purpose it is especially good for and I trust it would perform well as the function is indeed present.Various other Modes- The number of mode options and the brightness on the highest level is impressive- The controls for cycling through the modes is easier to remember than some well known brand units at 2x the price as well- The red light at the back has it's OWN CONTROL. This is great for battery conservation or if you want to be discreet in an environment without having to limit other functions or take the unit off.Battery Charge and Use Time:- Both were verified to be reasonably close to the stated windows in the description. Note: Tested with new unit. No knowledge of battery degradation.- The battery life time overall, is good compared to other units.- As the battery life diminishes, the available modes/brightness decreases. This is a GOOD thing if you need to get some indication on usage and you need to conserve power!Construction- Band has good flexibility and seems secure- The tilting option is usefulCONSBattery Charge Time:- 4-5 Hrs is a long stretch if you are using this in an outdoor setting for more than 1 overnight with a power pack and other devices on hand BUT it IS the average for all these USB charged units. I would suggest charging another set of batteries to have on hand in advance.Battery Life- As the battery life diminishes, the available modes/brightness decreases. This is a BAD thing if you NEED a certain mode/brightness through the duration of battery life!Other Notes- Did not test for Water Resistance- Unit is not the lightest or smallest Headlamp, but if you want the features it's a fair trade in my opinionOverall this seems like it was a great purchase but I am hesitant to give 5 stars only because I am very conservative with claiming perfection and because I have had other units which look similar that have had the wiring come apart after a few uses. This might be totally unfair on my part as there is no association other than perceived build style!I will happily upgrade to 5 stars if the unit proves durable after half a dozen uses in the future.
