h
I like this headlamp. Usually I use my Zebralights or my
UF-H2/3/6 when I need a headlamp for detail work like soldering
or for reading. Usually the single strap headband and rubber
mount hurt my forehead in short order and end up irritating me
more than helping me. This headlamp, once adjusted for proper
fit, is surprisingly confortable and extremely useful. The
parallel cell arrangement provides fantastic runtime and eases
my worries about having two Li-Ion cells in series strapped to
my head. Since the cells are wired in parallel this light will
run on one or two cells. I was not expecting to see a charger
included in the package and even more surprised when I opened
the battery compartment and found a really nice charging circuit
built into the headlight. While I still prefer to charge my
cells seperately in a proper charger, this is great for the
cyclist who is taking an extended trip and needs a small,
lightweight charging option to carry in his/her pack to save
precious cargo weight. Overall construction is average and
acceptable, especially for the price.</p><p><strong>Manufacturer

take a closer look at the construction. I will provide details
with each pic describing what you are looking at.</p><p>The head
is slotted and finned. Fins at the base of the body help rid
heat from the pill. Slots machined into the head allow air to
circulate through the solid and finned reflector. Stainless
steel bolt is used to anchor the pivot point on the mount.

ry
sturdy switch cap allows easy switching while maintaining a
solid feel. While small, it should be easy to find the button
and activate the light. The recessed switch area funnels your
finger down to the switch so it can be easily found. </p><p><a

/>width="50%"></a></p><p>All driver and charging circuits are
located in the battery case at the rear of the headlight.
Sturdy, coiled cabling routes from the battery case to the
headlight base. The head strap is very comfortable to wear and
never feels as if it is cutting or digging into your skin. What
appears to be m erely a decorative label on the battery case is
actually a tail light that glows red when the headlight is on.
A red LED on the driver/charging circuit illuminates this panel
from behind. This helps make a hiker or cyclist more visable
from the rear. Not super bright but it does add to the user's
safety. </p><p><a

/>width="50%" id="yui_3_7_3_3_1365636161320_440"></a></p><p>The
inner surface of the battery case is made of a very soft rubber
and is contoured to wrap around the curve of your head.

base of the battery case is where the external wallwart charger
plugs into the light. To access the cells, merely peel the
cover from the hard plastic base. </p><p><a

OP
reflector provides a very smooth beam (as you will see in later
shots) but still provides a fair amount of throw from a
surprisingly concentrated and bright hotspot considering the 490
OTF lumens on high. THe Cree XM-L T6 is CW but has a nice pure
white tint to it. I would have to hazard a guess that my
example uses a 1C tint. A plastic centering/insulation ring on
the emitter centers the reflector perfectly. </p><p><a

the aluminum bezel removed we can begin to see the completely
anodized internals of the head. </p><p><a

lens is glass but is only 1.37mm thin. It is uncoated but is
very clear for just glass. A GITD o-ring sits between the bezel
and the lens. All the internal parts are perfectly machined and
designed for a perfect solid fit when assembled with no
looseness in any of the parts. It just feels good when
reassembling the head. </p><p><a

threads are clean and while not the smoothest, they aren't too
bad. I've seen better but I've seen worse as well. </p><p><a

closer look at the front of the bezel. Notches machined into
the inner face of the bezel allow you to use a tool to grip the
bezel for removal. There is enough surface on the bezel lip
that hand grip alone was more than enough to loosen things.

/>width="50%"></a></p><p>The reflector itself is machined from a
solid piece and is finned for extra thermal transfer area.
Grooves in the front and rear of the reflector have an o-ring in
each. This allows the reflector to fit/slide snugly into the
head with no rattle at all.</p><p><a

o-rings. These are the nice o-rings, not cheap silicone or
rubber. </p><p><a

design of the reflector base means it sits firmly onto the
emitter's centering ring while being raised enough to avoid any
chance of shorting the power connectors on the LED MCPCB.</p><p>

pill and the 20mm LED star/mcpcb. Soldering on the connections
is very good. Proper amount of thermal grease is applied
between the star and the solid base of the pill. heat from the
pill is transferred to the head only where the lip of the pill

PCB borad for the switch. There are no components in the inner

nice lcick to it and while small, feels acceptably solid.

someone could change out the sense resistors and bump up output

on
the rear of the lamp lights red when the light is on. Even in a
lit room you can easily see the red light but through the camera
it's not as visible as with the naked eye.</p><p><a

the lights off you can see it much better. I think it's a
really nice feature for a cyclist to have. Since this is my
first headlamp of this kind I don't know if it's a common
feature or not. Regardless, it's pretty nice to have.</p><p><a

ceilings in my house and the headlamp is a little over 6ft from
the ceiling (sitting on the dining room table). Usually I have
no problem getting the entire spill form a light into the
picture but I had to get on the floow to fit this one. Spill is
the widest I have on any light, even FTT lights in flood mode.
You can see how smooth and buttery the spill is while the nice
center spot aids in distance viewing. My lux readings show the
range of this to be over 220 meters. Not bad form a small
headlight with so much spill.</p><p><a

.
I've taped a yardstick to the wall so you can get a proper idea
of the size of the spill and the hotspot.</p><p><a

really like this headlamp! I have to give it a solid
recommendation at it's selling price of only $20 USD.
Comfortable, smooth spill, great hotspot, long run time with 2
parallel 18650 cells. This light will go with me when I go
camping and hiking for sure. I don't bicycle but I used to and
if I still did I would use it in addition to a handlebar mounted
light. Even by itself it would probably work very
well!</p><p>Feel free to leave comments and thoughts. Thanks
