Buy Mitaki-Japan® Wind-Up LED Head Lamp

Customer Ratings:

Came across this item when searching for a new headlamp to purchase. The price was under $10 dollars, so I was a little concerned about the product's quality. So far, so good. Very happy with this item! Positives are; 1. It is a "green" product which needs no batteries to operate, 2. The quality in relation to its price seems quite good, and 3. The crank used to charge the lamp seems to work very well. Honestly, I just received the product and haven't used it much but my initial impression is that the headlamp is built well, works well, and is easy to use. One turn off though was that I expected the lamp to be made in Japan with its name of Mitaki-Japan but it is made in China. Was concerned about manufacturing quality but after checking headlamp out it seems to be solidly built. Cool little item! Worth having!

Got the light a few days ago and it works great. Only gave it 4 stars because battery didn't die yet so I don't know how it will work after I use the crank. I'll edit review if I have any problems. But light is bright, no problem with head gear. I think it's an awesome product.

You've got hand-crank flashlights, why not a headlamp? This one works very well. You have three LED bulbs, with three modes of operation: one bulb (when not a lot of light is needed), all three bulbs, and a strobe setting (with all three bulbs flashing). You can adjust the direction the light is pointed, and the crank is easy to use and produces a good charge.

My only complaint (and it's minor) is that where the straps attach at the sides is a small gap where the straps can come unattached. At first I thought it was broken, but when I saw there was a similar gap on both sides I figured it must be by design, though I can't figure out why it is there. Because of this, I'd give 4 1/2 stars if I could, but since you can only give full stars, I have to drop to 4.

Honest reviews on Mitaki-Japan® Wind-Up LED Head Lamp

Works as it should but the output is terrible. So little light and was expecting so much more. Was terrible for the crawl space.

I haven't tested the 'crank-to-light duration' ratio. However, I would consider the unit's output to be rather weak. It's Ok for a household task within 2-3 feet of the unit. Or, in a pinch, you could read a trail map if lost in the woods at night. But for anything beyond 2-3 feet, don't expect much light output.

In addition, unlike some battery headlamps that I've tested from the "big C", this unit's 'head BAND' is comfortable, and not nearly as tight as other "big C" head BANDS.
