I heard about this head lamp from the "This Week in Photography" podcast, and as I'm both a photographer, and kind of a "gadget guy", I put this on my Amazon gift list thinking it might be something I'd use for the specialty purpose of being able to better see my camera while struggling to take time exposure photos in the dark.

BUT, since my daughter got it for me for Christmas, I have been delightfully surprised to find that I FIND IT HELPFUL TO USE IT ALL THE TIME for all sorts of little jobs in dark places, from searching through my closets, cupboards, drawers, tool kits, or for fishing for wires under the desk or behind the PC or entertainment system, or finding or fixing something going bump in the night outside, or under my house, or refilling the windshield washer on a dark winter eve under my hood, to.... well, I USE IT ALL THE TIME. It's an amazingly utilitarian gadget.

Why do I use THIS relatively expensive hands-free-head-light as opposed to the half dozen cheap baseball cap brim lights or much cheaper strap on your head lights I own? Well...

1.) ...this TILTS, so I can adjust it down (along with my eyes), where the WORK IS (usually) without having to tip my whole noggin down.

2.) It has a focus ring to adjust it from a flood light to a tight beam, so as to provide the kind of light that suits the task at hand.

3.) It is adjustable for BRIGHTNESS so I can dim it down or turn it up to full blast, again, to provide light to suit the task.

4.) It's powerful, so that when I turn it up and focus it to a beam, it shoots light for a healthy distance, which is useful for example, for picking up channel markers at night when boating.

5.) It's rechargeable, and you can stick regular batteries in if you aren't near an AC outlet.

I do wish it could be dimmed a little more (for working in complete darkness without detection by wildlife, for example), and/or had a red lens accessory for sail trimming at night without causing night blindness. YES, I DO look ridiculous with this thing on my head, but as a general purpose hands-free work light to keep charged and ready by the door for "grab and go" swing-into-action use, this thing is the ACE.

Simply a great headlamp for travellers. I took this with me on a trip to Brazil's Amazon, Pantanal, and Cerrado earlier this year and it was just awesome. At 150 Lumens, the ability to focus made it much brighter than my 200 Lumens flashlights from Costco. It was great for night time wild life spotting, survived torrential downpours and was easy enough to recharge. Being paranoid, I do carry some alkaline batteries in my pack just in case the included rechargeables run out of juice. Actually I gave the headlamp to my private guide in the Cerrado when leaving Brazil as a tip and bought another one in advance of my coming trip to China/Japan.

I realy like this light. I've looked at other lights but this had the most bang for my buck and had the highest reviews. The light is brighter than I thought it would be and the adjuster works great. I left the light on for a full night to see how long the battery would last and it was still good the next morning. Works great and I use it for more than I thought I would. Bought it for camping but use it for so much more.

great lamp, being rechargable is the icing on the cake. Our outdoor activities require a good headlamp and this is it.

I'm in construction, I often work nights, I strap it to my hard hat. Works really good! Battery time only works three hours on full power though, so I set it half way, works good. If I'm on the day shift, I'm in dark attics, again works super!!
