handy headlight
By Chuck the carpenterVerified Purchaser from Ashley Falls, MA on 8/19/2008
Pros:
Adjustable Beam, Bright
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is the second one of these I have owned. It is so small that I always carry it in my pocket. It's very useful. The first one lasted 4 years before the switch gave out. That's pretty good. The only drawback is that the batteries are $5. I therefore don't use it for long term applications. The light is adequately bright for the first phase and then will be slowly dim.

Lightweight and durable especially for the price. The lamp only has on and off, no dim setting or blinking features. There is a sufficient beam adjustment; however, the adjustment is not as good as others on the market. Never has been throughly tested in water thrus far - only light rain.

Light and Bright
By SAGVerified Purchaser from Bend, OR on 3/13/2008
Pros:
Adjustable Beam, Bright, Durable, Stable
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Car Camping, In the attic, In The Garage
Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is a great light. Fits well with all kinds of headwear. I'm a little concerned about the ready availability of the required 6Volt battery. No spare lights -- but probably not needed since they're LEDs.

 
I swear by this light, not at it
By Knucklehead SmithVerified Purchaser from Mill Valley, CA on 10/24/2007
Pros:
Bright, Durable, Long battery life, Stable
Cons:
No Beam Adjustment
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Car Camping, Cycling, Day trip, Hiking
Describe Yourself:
Avid Adventurer, Daily commuter, Randonneur
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I mount this light on the front of my cycling helmet with a small zip tie. I use it to read road signs and route arrows, maps, and my hr monitor. The best use, for me, is when I need to make a roadside repair or find gear in my saddlebag at night. I can change a flat or fix my bike without having to hold a flashlight AND tools. When it's 4 a.m. and I'm in the middle of farmland, I know I've got light. I always carry a spare battery. The only drawback is when I go into some stores people assume it's a camera. When my life gets so interesting that I have to film everything I do then I'll stop leading such an interesting life...
