This is my first review that I have written but have appreciated the many reviews I've read prior to purchases. This is a great little light. I used it to run my telephone and cable connections under my house. It provided excellent light was fully adjustable for any angle needed and weighs very little. I did not notice any diminished intensity for the several hours of use. I would highly reccomend this light.

The bulb on this headlamp seems too heavy for the elastic. No matter how much you tighten the elastic, the bulb seems to slip down to the bridge of your nose. I finally remedied this situation by putting the light on a baseball cap. The bill of the cap keeps the bulb from slipping. The light is very bright and clear, though, and the fact that you can angle it up or down is very helpful.

I've recently replaced a headlamp that I used for many years. This is my first LED one, and it's great. At first I was skittish about the dual straps. But they work well. Comfortable, adjusts to my odd-shaped head, and holds in place. Light weight. Well made. High grade plastic. Rubberized bumper protecting the lens. O-rings on all removable covers. One of the best designed battery compartments I've seen. Has a slide out module in which you easily load the batteries. Pop the whole module back in and twist on the cover. The twist-on cover even has "Close" and"Open" marks, so you know it's positively seated. Three intensities are handy. Positive on/off switch. I use it when working on engines or inside electronics cabinets, when I need a directed light, but also need both hands free. My only neg: The tilt mechanism uses a plastic rachet and spring mechanism. In my expereience with similar designs, the plastic spring breaks if you repeatedly adjust the tilt. If it had a metal spring, definitely would be a 5.

Note added 12/12/2009. Although I still like this light, there's an even better Streamlight model for about the same price. See my review on the Streamlight 61301 Argo C4 headlight.

Honest reviews on Streamlight 61052 Septor LED Headlamp with Strap

This is a very light and comfortable light to wear, and it's great for when you're climbing the ladder up into the attic. There's no lighting in our attic, and I went up to check the insulation. After a minute I bumped the shoplight I brought up against something and it died. Would have been pretty awkward getting out without this headlamp. It also has 3 brightness levels so you can conserve your batteries and avoid blinding people when camping.

There are lots of headlamps. I've owned many of them and use them extensively in Florida's hurricane zone. If you're a hiker/jogger, this one is NOT for you as it's heavy and will slip forward on your head. If you're working around the home, your car or boat, this is the one you want. It's the brightest. You can choose 3 levels of light/battery drain. It's simple to use. It's uses standard batteries. Some use non-standard batteries. Some have so many options, you have to have the manual to use them.
