 Great Product, best price on or off the web November 14, 2008
I have purchased this product several times from several places - things get stolen or broken in construction. The rubber strap works pretty well on hardhats (as designed) until 3-4 months later. Then it gets a little dirty on the 'softgrip' pad, and tends to fall off the hard hat.
I've never used the strap that comes (as a bonus to me) for use on the bare head.
The light lasts a LONG time on one LED usage, and on any setting is plenty bright with new to mid life batteries.
Great Buy November 10, 2008
I bought this because i was going to be doing some work in the attic. The work required running wires and so i was moving around a lot up there, and relocating a work lamp soon became really tiresome.
This was the perfect solution. The 7 LED lamps are bright enough to light up my entire workspace and the surrounding areas. Also, the adjustable angle on the lamp is a great feature to minimize neck strain.
The padding on the light where it rests on your forehead is a little thin. Also if you plan on wearing it for long hours in tight hot environments where you are likely to sweat, it starts to get a little itchy. This is easily fixed by wearing a bandana or baseball cap flipped backwards though. But if its for quick jobs of under an hour, its comfortable enough that you wont notice its there.
Very handy... November 7, 2008
I agree that the strap should be a little stronger but the light is bright and clear. The only time I couldn't aim it where I wanted it was when I was working overhead, though I suppose I could have just put in on upside-down? I like the three settings for brightness and I especially like that it uses AAA batteries and not some of the more exotic (expensive) sizes that other lights require.
 Bright, fits nicely, but light diminishes quickly October 27, 2008

This is a nice unit, with a claimed 40 lumens of output on the highest setting, 20 lumens on mid, and about 8 lumens on low. Upon initial use, I found the high setting to be massively powerful that could easily blind my eyes if looked into directly. However, this high output was short lived -- lasting less than an hour. The unit has declining light power output as the batteries die, this will sneak up on you in a very ugly way if you need to use the light in the field and don't have immediate access to swap the batteries.
It's pretty clear why output isn't so long -- with only 3 AAA batteries powering the unit, it's too small. I would've liked to have seen 2 AA, or even better, 3 AA batteries powering the unit. This would allow for more MAHAs output; AAA's are quite puny in output compared to an AA. In fact, you can get 3x the output from one AA over an AAA.
The unit does fit comfortably as it has the middle band, preventing the whole thing from running down your forehead. I bought this to do night gardening and yard work, so I'm actively moving about. The previous headband light I had from Energizer didn't have the middle band, so was always slipping down.
The light beam is very wide compared to my energizer headband. Although this may seem good, sometimes it's a little too wide for my tastes. This is as the low setting becomes much too dispersed and weak to do any detailed work, so I have to put the unit on mid or high setting. This of course compromises battery life as discussed earlier. It would've been really nice if some kind of focal adjustment knob was incorporated into the unit.
So overall, this isn't too bad of a headband light but a little disappointing. Make certain you have a set of rechargeable AAA's available. Something like Sanyo Eneloops would be good, as they have decent energy reserves and can sit idle for a long time without discharge.
Great Light October 16, 2008

I work on a blacked out military base in a third world country as a Crash-Fire-Rescue Tech. These help greatly during patient care or any other night operation where light is limited.
