Good quality headlight
| Overall rating |
The headlamp is of very high quality and the light output is MORE than sufficient. The battery lasts enough at lower power (smaller lens, but at full power) when you consider the time you use the headlamp. The headlamp also charges quickly.
The headlamp's tightening straps also work flawlessly, as you could easily adjust them to your own head size.
The only downside was the tension adjuster on the circumference strap, which hits the right ear. It hinders the use of external hearing protection, which can of course be bypassed by using earplugs as hearing protection.
If the adjuster were further back, but not in the middle of the strap, it would be a good change that is easy to implement in your next headlamps.
Otherwise, I am VERY satisfied with the headlamp. How have I ever managed without this headlamp. A really important and safe light source when working in the dark.
