The head band was stretchy and fit well. It was adjustable and not uncomfortable. The brightness was good and worked for the farm at night.

I’ve used several different versions of headlamps. As far as this lamp goes it is great but the strap that goes around your head is too large for me.
I’ve used several other brands of head lamps and never had the issue of not being able to tighten it up enough so that it doesn’t slide down my face.
This strap has a feel to be a bit like slippery/slick so even if you do tighten it all the way it has a tendency to slowly or slightly slip so even after tightening all the way it slips and puts you back in the same situation you started with with it being a bit too loose and sliding down onto my face.
Unfortunately for me this particular brand head strap does tend to be too big to wear comfortably because there’s not the enough ability to tighten up the strap like I said around your head to make it snug. It probably would be fine for most men. I don’t know how to judge someone’s head size but I would say that I’m an average female sized head so for probably most women it might be a little bit too loose to wear comfortably.
The lighting that comes from the lamp is good. The lamp is adequately bright. I walk in some areas during my usual walk that are completely dark with no street lamps and this does a fine job to light the way.
The charge holds for a significant amount of time you could get 2 or 3 average walks out of this before you would need to recharge it or recharge the batteries that you install.
To be clear this style a headlamp requires that you insert batteries into it. So my rating regarding how long does the lamp last and how long does it stay bright would depend on the type of batteries that you install and how well they would hold up.
So the longevity of the lamp and how long it will last on a walk will be determined by the battery type you use.
I use rechargeable batteries in all my headlamps. I have great results using both the Amazon Basics rechargable batteries and the EBL brand rechargeable.
The EBL brand rechargeable battery has a higher milliamp it’s 1000 M Au.
The Amazon basics is 800 M Au. Both of these are AAA size battery I refer to.
I have used both brands of batteries for a very long time and there is a little bit of difference how long the charge holds between the EBL and the Amazon Basic based on the milliamps. The higher the Milli Amp rating the longer the charge will hold and this is true of the EBL versus Amazon Basic done rechargeable type.
I switched to rechargeable because the amount of batteries that I was using and throwing away using standard batteries became ridiculous.
So I’ve saved quite a bit of money using rechargeable batteries.
I’ve been using both brands recharging over and over again. Both brands have lasted a very long time And I have not experienced a need to buy replacement batteries yet from my original purchases of rechargeable batteries. This is true for both the Amazon brand and EBL brand
I’ve been recharging them for several months maybe even close to 8 or 9 months particularly with the Amazon brand and they hold up just fine. I have not experienced any significant change in the longevity of the charge while in use in several different brands of headlamps.
The batteries once recharged hold their charge the same as they did when they were new 2 or 3 and maybe 4 walks.
For me a walk means 1 to 1 1/2 mile taking 30 to 40 minutes maybe 45 minutes walking my dog every night.
I also wear my head lamp around the house at night and even sometimes during the day depending on where I’m working in my house because there’s a lot of darker areas so it’s a little difficult to see things sometimes and if I want to get a clear vision while working with small objects or even inside cupboards I may wear the headlamp for several hours around the house. So it’s nice to have a strong charge in those batteries so that it keeps working for a long time while you’re working on projects. The last thing you need is to have it wear down like 30 minutes after you put it on. I have not experienced anything like that with either brand of battery I mentioned
I hope this helps

I purchased this headlamp because i am a fac on their TacLED Flashlight, and have have had great experiences with this complany. They mage good product that are very reasonably priced and stand behind them with great customer care as well. As an avid rafter and camper, i go through quite a few flashlights and headlamps every season. I need ones that are fairly durable, with changable batteries ( I sometimes go 2+ weeks in the baclcountry so USB recargable doesnt work well for me), but cant break the bank on a top tier name brand light. They get lost, I give them out, they fall into the river, equipment gets watterlogged and I loosse another one. That made the pricepoint on these light great espicially for a 2pack. As long as the batteries havent been removed the ligh turns back on in the same color (red/white) as when you turned it off. Thats nice so you dont accidentaly blind someone turning it on trying to get to the red light feature. I do wish it saved the bright ness setting when in white mode. I find medium is good all around and it is kind of annoying clicking through, especially when you accidentally double press then have to cycle back aroiund throu the super brig and very rapid strobe mode. i almost wish that was somehow turned on in a different manner, but it is something i can get used to im sure. definatly not something that makes/breaks it for me. Overall its great value fore a dang good light, backed by an awesome company,
One thng to not is the large band size. I have quite a large head, usually i have trouble finding One Size itemns that will fit me, and i had to tighten the band quite a bit for it to be snug. not much room for elastic stretching. not a big deal for me, but something to be aware of for propl with average or smaller cap sizes. nothing a little duct tape hemm wont fix.

These headlamps are better than what I thought I getting. They are comfortable to wear and are very bright for such a small light.

I love these head lights! Comfy and very useful during the last power outage we had several days ago. I bought them for this purpose and for walks during our dark winter evenings. So happy I made this purchase!

Works great. Batteries last a long time. Fairly bright. Excellent value for a basic headlamp.

Good functionality, good price. I like the white and red light options, the brightness was perfect. I also like the single strap around my noggin (instead of those that have that additional strap across the top). This was easily adjustable and comfy. They tilt up and down as expected. I still can’t get the ladies in my fam to wear them but we guys know these are the only way to make your way around the campsite at night. I wear mine proudly! You can count on these.

My husband uses it for early morning winter runs around our Norfolk village. Ideal for avoiding the mud and wandering deer, to say nothing of letting traffic be aware. Works well, and he’s delighted with it.

Bought several twin packs of these. Had a small problem with one light. Contacted email that was included on card with each shipment. Was pleasantly surprised when I got a reply the same day. Explained the problem and got a replacement with no hassle. They didn’t even want the old one back.
Now about the light. Switch has smart features. One I really like is that I can directly go to RED without cycling through white by holding down switch. Preserves night vision. Light returns to last color used with momentary press from off. White comes on low intensity. Steps through L-M-H, strobe. Red cycles steady, slow flash, strobe. Hold button down to turn off. Elastic band is 1″ wide, has good range of adjustments for head size. Light tilts down about 30 degrees. Holds position and stays on head well. Don’t know how to describe light output. Will say it’s very adequate in a dark environment. This is not the headlight I go to if working close up on a project during daylight. However it’s compact and runs a long time on 3 AAA batts. Good value.

Not the smallest, lightest, or most feature-filled head lamp, but it’s hard to beat for the price. We’ve only used the lamps for one camping trip, but they were easy to use for kids and adults–no issues. Comfortable, adjustable, and functional. Thanks!
