Why it is worth it
-
A band of light, not a dot
The light strip runs across the front of the band, so the whole space in front of you is lit, with a spot light in the middle for distance.
-
Wave to switch
Turn the sensor on and wave a hand past the side to switch the light. Handy with oily gloves on.
-
Rechargeable
Charges over USB with the cable in the box. No batteries to buy.
-
Two in the box
One for you and one for the truck, the garage or a friend. Each has its own zip case.
Hands free
Stop holding the flashlight in your teeth.
Most jobs in the dark need both hands. Put the band on, wave past the sensor and the light goes wherever you look: under the hood, into the breaker box, along the trail.

Great for truckers who do drop and hooks at night. Keeps this girl trucker safe.
Good product ! Bright and as advertised
Solid buy so farBeen using to work on vehicles and going for walksSo far I cant complainFor the price its a good buy
extremely lightweight but extremely effective. Multiple functions from safely walking the dog to focusing on handwork
Super bright. Works great
Great light,,very well made,lightweight, very bright.
Excellent head lamp.
Helpful for seeing porcupines in the yard before letting our dogs out at night😉
These are nice, bright, and comfortable.
Extremely bright light
Exelente producto lo recomiendo 100 %
Very bright and it adjusts easily. The wave to turn on/off is cool just wish it wasn’t so touchy.
It is really good to have a light that you can move around with, and this head lamp brightens the way, plus battery life is great and recharging is easy. Definitely recommend it…, get yourself one or two
We like the light, but can’t get it to turn off and on with our hand!
Wish the battery would last longer. Other than that a great light for the price.
Bought this 2 years ago and now the light looks like this.It's a nice light but it goes out in sections as it gets old.
Light output is great but it after 3 minutes the LED strip starts getting hot and bothersome. Suggest you wear a baseball cap or headband. Other than that is works great and a good piece of equipment to have in your car in case of emergency.
This headlamp is comfortable to wear, although it does become slightly warm against the forehead during extended use. I primarily utilize this product for working on puzzles, and it provides excellent illumination across an entire 1,000-piece puzzle board. However, I have noted that the battery life is somewhat limited, as it required recharging after approximately two hours of use on two separate occasions.
Only 2 of the 3 headlamps work. Other than sending me a broken headlamp I do like the product. Wish I had 3 that worked since I paid for 3.
The LED band is good, but the side light shines into my glasses. Not sure if this product was tested by anyone with glasses, but when it's worn normally it shines a bit into my lens and the ear arm, and it angles more to the side and upward. When I adjust the position of the headband to aim the light down the path I'm walking, it turns more into my lens.
The light output is not as impressive as in the listing photos. There are too many controls and options. The single beam and motion sensor are ridiculous. Included are 4 black plastic clips for each light (8) that I have no idea how they are to be used. No instructions for them. I will likely keep the lights but if they start turning off and on as I move, out they go. Seems like a long time to charge. I will not charge them from a USB port on my computer.
On the highest setting; your forehead will get HOT!
Doesn't hold a very long charge! My husband is a construction inspector and love the widespread light this headlamp sends out... he says it beats holding a flashlight by far! But we live in Alaska where it doesn't get light til 10am in winter and he needs it starting at 7am... it runs out of battery in less than an hour! He doesn't have time to sit in his truck and recharge when he's out on the job!We also thought to put one in our survival kit, as we sometimes lose power for 12-24 hours and what if he needed to work on something in the basement plumbing or outside...an hour might not be enough! I'll be looking for something maybe more expensive with a longer charge limit.
The lights are good as far as brightness but does not hold a charge very long. It's good I ordered two so I can switch to the other one.
It worked great initially, but stopped working after only a handful of uses. It hasn’t been dropped or damaged in any way.
The light is very bright and works well. But it gets very hot very quickly and will burn your forehead.
Won’t charge, it worked great for about a week or two. Now it won’t charge and for the cost you’d expect it to last longer than a few uses.
Terrible. The placement of the light doesn't illuminate what you're working on. I have to wear it around my neck for the light to hit what I'm working on.
Good while it lasted. Less than a year minimal use won't charge.
Battery life is max 3-4 hrs
Headband gets hot while wearing and be prepared for a swarm of bugs around your head
The light worked well for a while. The only drawback had no heat shield in the heat from the light across your forehead heats up in the design. It’s rubber over a non-stretchy light. I had two they separated after a while if it were leather or a non-stretchy piece with the headlight was it’d be much better made, and longer lasting
Well it is really nice and comfortable but now one will not take a charge. Tried different chargers and cords but still no luck
Be aware. The battery is horrible. I was working in the attic and the battery barely lasted 20 minutes. What a joke.
These lights are horrible!! They both stopped holding a charge in literally less than a month wth😂😂👎👎👎
I ordered the 3 pack. Two of them worked. One will not turn on and will not charge. Has no indicator light. I've tried different outlets but get nothing. I'm about to repack them and start a return. I'm VERY disappointed! I should have read more reviews stating their quality! Take heed "light lovers"!
Straightforward design and easy to use. Used it for early morning walks with my dog for a few weeks about 20 min a day. Charged it once with no issue. Second time charging was a no go. Tried charging it serval times, but it’s not taking a charge, and so for the reason I’m giving it a 1 star rating.
Works fine until it gets wet- not waterproof, as claimed. I got mine wet, when used for rowing, and it went into constant flash mode. It has not recovered after 5 days hanging it in a closed closet, letting the battery drain, and recharging it. It’s after 30 days, so a loss for me.
One of these do not work already
Product will not charge. Total waste of money. Worked well for the one run I got to use it on.
Worked fine for a month. Will no longer take a charge using multiple different cables.
Battery doesn’t last too long. Main light connection became loose and cannot repair myself. To get what you pay for.
