FoxelliLED Headlamp Flashlight for Adults & Kids, Running, Camping, Hiking Head Lamp with White & Red Light, Comfortable Headband, Lightweight & Waterproof, 3 AAA Batteries

I recently compared four LED headlamps across a range of prices, all rated very highly on Amazon. I'm using these for work around the house in dark places, so red or green lights, flashing options, etc are not particularly important to me. Mostly I'm just looking for a nice clean bright white light while running wires, or working in the ceiling, or even plugging things in behind a computer that you don't want to move.Headlamp 1, the "Shining Buddy" LED Headlamp, was $12.97, and had 4.8 stars from 2509 reviews. Physical quality seemed fine, but from the moment I turned it on, the "Shining Buddy" had a relatively dim LED, even on the highest settings, and it had a very blue tint (a very cool LED color). It was dim enough that I found it wanting for most tasks and the color made it unpleasant to use. I didn't use it for long.Headlamp 2, the Foxelli Headlamp at the same price ($12.97) also had good reviews - 4.7 stars from 1082 reviews. In contrast, the Foxelli was a rockstar!. It had a much brighter and had a very clean, white light. It compared favorably to the two other lamps I reviewed which were 2x and 3x the price. It has dimmable lights, flashing lights, and red color as most do. The only nitpick is that one must cycle through all settings to turn off. The last setting, before turning off, is a VERY bright flashing setting. Wow. Mezmerizing! But annoying to have to cycle through each time. This would be my choice for a go-to work light in the future. Great price, clear white light, nice quality.Headlamp 3, the Black Diamond Spot Headlamp, was $25.99, and 4.6 stars from 352 reviews. It's an excellent performer and seems to be very high quality. It's a bight brighter than the Foxelli, and has a somwhat more uniform light. It also has a moderately bright but very wide uniform light setting. This is a really nice feature that I didn't have on an old Black Diamond light and I like it. Although I mostly use the bright spot setting, I could see it being useful in a close up place, or for finding things in the dark as it really illuminates gently but all around. It seems to have a nice closure mechanism (a bit nicer than the Foxelli) which seems durable. The Tap-For-Extra-Bright option is really cool too. There are more settings (red, flashing, etc) and the method for getting to them is a bit complicated, but it means that you can (more or less) get tot the setting you want and keep it there without a lot of cycling through unwanted settings. Great lamp, and definitely nicer than the Foxelli, but for work the Foxelli is good enough and half the price, so buy two and still have one when you can't find the other. If you're camping, or hiking, the Black Diamond Spot might be more up your alley and it is still a good bargain.Headlamp 4 was the Black Diamond Storm Headlamp, at $31.93, with 4.5 stars from 186 reviews. This is really a premium headlamp. Fit and finish was similar to the BD Spot, but with a much better cam lock closure and superior gasket sealing for the battery compartment. This lamp is even brighter than the bright BD Storm, which was even brighter than the Foxelli. And then you could use Power Tap and it was really really bright. It also has the wide angle, gentle uniform light setting which I liked so much on the BD Spot. Add green to the red and flashing options, and you get a very complicated control system (all from one button) but with a nice guide and quick reference card to rescue you. This is really the nicest headlamp of the four, but only a bit nicer than the BD Spot at a bit of a premium. This light uses 4 batteries, which is nice because what do you always do with that other one from your charger anyway?All in all, three of these lights were awesome. All come with batteries, but I use Eneloop rechargables in my headlamps because they go through batteries pretty quickly when you have them on bright all of the time. I'd buy the Foxelli again in a heartbeat. For my purposes, the BD Spot is also a great light, with the higher quality and wide angle setting worth the extra. It turns out that I didn't really need the extra features of the BD Storm. A camper or hiker might find them invaluable though!

First week or so after getting these, I got tangled up on a hike coming back in the dark. The lamps worked perfectly and the controls aren't annoyingly complicated like a lot of these lights. Low beam, medium beam, high beam is about all you need to know. To go back and forth between red and white light, simply long press. Easy as hell so you're not fumbling around in the dark and possibly being eaten by a bear. SPOILER: I wasn't eaten by a bear. Nice little lights. Going to order more and put them in every bag I own so I'll never without.

I bought this headlamp for my daughter for all our camping trips. She loved it and even uses it to read in her room at night.It ticks all the boxes you want for a headlamp. Bright, adjustable strap, and you can adjust the orientation of the light. The strap stays in whatever position you put it in, which isn't always the case with headlamps.I appreciate that it came with the batteries you need and they were quality Energizer batteries that really last. Not cheap knock-off batteries like you get with lesser lights etc...If there's one thing they could improve, it would be to add a red setting. It comes in handy on buggy nights, as moths aren't drawn to red light. However, I knew that when I ordered it, so it shouldn't count against them.

Gotta say I really like the amount of light that this puts out, and the controls and modes are well thought out. The white light can be set for three levels of intensity and it is supplied from the large, center spot in the assembly. The red lights are supplied from the two outer, smaller spots located on each side of the white center spot. The red function acutally has an S-O-S blink mode, and both the red and white modes have a fast blink mode. Know this, to change back and forth from red to white modes, you simply hold the button for about four seconds until you see either the red or the white light. Then you can cycle through the modes as usual for each. Although there is a clear spot aspect to the light that is cast, there is plenty of peripheral light such that you will find that this gives a relatively good field of view. I bought this for use with my snowblower and I think I will appreciate the three levels of white light intensity. The brightest is probably too bright. The dimmest, too dim. But I suspect that the intermediate will be just right. Build quality for an all plastic light looks quite good. Not sure I would want to drop it on concrete but, then again, not sure I would want to drop the $80-$100 high end lights on concrete, either. Tremendous bang for your bucks with this. Lightweight, a great set of features, small form factor, and bright light for a ridiculously low price. Probably going to order another. I REALLY like and searched for a light that can accept regular alkaline batteries. This meets the test. Can't say enough good about it.Update: I ordered and just received a second one and now notice what another reviewer reported. On a light surface of any type, there is a very discernable yellow spot in the center of the beam. Quite annoying now that it caught my attention and it displays this way with both of the headlamps so one is not a fluke. On a somewhat humorous note, and with my intentions to use this while snowblowing, I'll be seeing the dreaded "yellow snow" everywhere.

Comfortable, easy to adjust, stays in place and shines light right where you need it..

Solid headlamps. Good price and good quality. After my order arrived and I tested out the product, I immediately ordered another set. Headlamps are bright with different settings and lightweight and easy to use.

This is a great headlight. It’s very bright and does the job. It is Adjustable and it has different settings for the light.

Helpful for me because now I don't have to hold a flashlight for my husband when he's working on the sink or in small spaces. Way mess expensive than those at the store and brighter!

Functional headlamp excellent buy

Hat sein Zweck erfüllt. Die Kopflampe ist angenehm zu tragen und das Licht ich schön hell. Durch die Batterien hat man ewig Licht vorausgesetzt man hat Ersatz Batterien mit. 😄

L'intensité lumineuse est correcte, la qualité de fabrication et la solidité de l'ensemble sont bonnes, la bande élastique est ajustable, cette unité est livrée avec trois (3) piles AA classiques qu'on peut remplacer par des rechargeables... À ce prix, c'est convenable, je recommande cette lampe frontale sans soucis !

So far so good. Very comfortable and well made product.3- AAA Brand Name batteries included - nice touch and last for many hours.
