Ledlenser, H7R.2 Rechargeable Headlamp, High Power LED, 300 Lumens, Hands-Free Light for Outdoor Use, Home, Camping, Black

The rundown:This is an excellent little light. I am a helicopter mechanic and required a light to work on tight spaces for inspections that last extended periods of time, and this light is perfect for it. It is not too bulky, the batteries last a long time if you don't keep it at max (which you really don't need to. Even the lower light settings are fairly bright). The light setting is adjusted in the back and is very nice/easy/convenient to adjust. This light is well designed. The light will NOT "slide" down your forehead. Good materials used to build it.The good:*It has 4 tilt positions (I wish it had one more to tilt it upward, but it works fine the way it is)*Has an excellent spotlight-to-wide angle range.*It has a sliding-type of dimmer in the back that works great.*The weight is very well distributed and does not feel heavy-sided neither in front (lamp), nor in the back (batteries)*The elastic can be adjusted easily to fit your head size, and it will not move on its own.*Good, strong aluminum body. Have dropped it several times from up to 10 feet, and she keeps working like a champ!The bad:*The lamp CAN come off the elastic strap (it just sort of "half detaches", but doesn't always happen,)*It takes a long time to charge (but for what I understand, you can use regular AAA. I have NOT tried/needed that as of yet, even when I USE it for up to 9 almost-nonstop-hours)*The lamp on your forehead could use a little more/softer padding (especially when you're wearing the thing for close to 10hrs a day, some days).The Ugly:*When in really tight spaces, the dimmer in the back can be moved by close by objects inadvertently. THAT could be annoying.For the price, though, this light is perfect and way better than other pricier/bulkier lights out there. This is why I gave it five stars: Because "the good" far outweighs "the bad" and "the ugly", in my opinion, and I would buy the same exact one again, if this one broke.

I work in a fleet repair shop that I like to call the cave, because it is so dark and hard to see what you are doing. I bought this because I wanted to be able to keep my hands free while putting light on what I am doing and I didn't want to use a standard drop light cause they are a pain when trying to get them to hang and I was always burning myself on them.Anyway, this head light is awesome, I love the adjustable beam, wide area to narrow focused, and the pivoting head.When it arrived I thought the pivot point of the light looked flimsy and would break quickly, but it hasn't. I bought this in April of 2013 it is now February of 2014 I use it every single day in the shop while working and I have hit it several times against the under side of the trucks and even dropped it a few times. It is still working great. I also like the adjustable power output I start with it on medium and when it starts to get dim I turn it up to max and get a little more time from the batteries.Also the head band is removable so you can wash it when you need to. I can't really comment on the life of the batteries, they are rechargeable, but I bought a pack of them so I could just swap them out instead of having to wait for them to charge. and they are all getting weak.However I do remember that when it was new I was impressed with how long they lasted, that said, even with my weak ones I get 2 to 3 days of off and on use, probably 3 to 5 hours a day.PRO'SAdjustable beam, tiltable headAdjustable power controlRechargeableRemovable head band for washingSolid durable unit, takes some abuse and keeps workingCON'SNONELove this light, if I ever need to I will definitely get another one.

This model with the small aluminum on-off switch is better than the one with the big red plastic on-off switch. I own 2 like this and 1 with the big red plastic button, this one is a better quality product, it's easier to focus the light, it's easier to turn on and off, it's just better in all respects. There are other more powerful models sold by this company, but those require 3 bigger batteries, AA, while this model requires 3 smaller batteries, AAA. AA batteries are a disadvantage to me, because I don't want to have so much weight on the back of my head; nor do I want the strongest headlamp model which clips on to your belt with the wire running up to it from your belt, to me that long wire is impractical, unless you need a very powerful light, then you have no choice but to get that model. his model is more practical, more comfortable, and gives off plenty of light. Please be aware that when you are wearing this unit directly on your head and it's been turned on for a while, the battery pack is going to get warm, you will feel the heat in the back of your head. Nothing is ideal. I suggest getting Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries because those batteries weigh less than the conventional alkaline batteries, and they also last longer.

I bought my first one 12 years ago. I use it religiously for work and I have not exactly been gentle with it. It still works, the only reason I’m replacing it is because the wire harness from the battery pack to the light has gotten brittle and causes the light to flicker. This is an amazing headlamp. Very bright and large focus area, can be focused smaller, very durable, long lasting battery charge, 12 years later and the battery still holds charge for hours on end. Highly recommended.
