   Brightness:

   This light is very bright, especially for it’s small size. On the highest setting, it’s easily above 1,000 lumens, but I don’t feel it’s 2,000+ lumens.

   Battery life:

   On each setting, I’m averaging approximately 96% of the listed times; that’s very respectable.

   Heat:

   This light gets warm when run for long periods of times, but it never runs hot.

   Charge time:

   It takes approximately 30 minutes longer to charge this light than the time listed.

   Functionality:

   All functions work fine, but there is a bit of a learning curve to master the “clicks” between light settings.

   Overall:

   4 stars

   The media could not be loaded.

    This is a conundrum. When I first opened the box, I was surprised at all the parts and pieces that were in there.
   Everything in the box (except for a belt clip and a plastic buckle thing-y) felt very high quality and nice!
   The 2 elastic straps that come with the light, to secure it to your helmet, are nice, with a non-slip rubberized grip on it, which is supposed to hold the light on a special clip, on the head. The clip allows you to grab the light and pull it off, so you can use it like a hand held flashlight, if needed.
   Great idea!
   The flashlight itself is a good, weighty metal, and feels solid in the hand. The light is fairly bright, so it IS an okay light.
   The problems are:
   The instruction book that comes with it, in multiple languages, only gives info about simple, basic useage of the light; eg “press the button on the side once to turn on, twice for SOS, and once to shut it off”… things like that.
   There is zero mention of what all these parts are, what they do, how to assemble it, or even a demo online about putting it all together.
   I have an engineer in the house, and HE couldn’t figure out how the straps should be linked together, nor the clip to attach.
   I couldnt figure it out (and I am a nurse! Quite used to having to figure out equipment… all the time! But couldn’t figure this out.)
   It almost seems as though a part is missing, but I am not sure.
   So, all we will be able to use this for, is as a fair to decent flashlight.
   My other issue is that it uses a special magnetic charging wire to recharge it.
   You’d better not lose the charger, because it is pretty unique! I wish it just used a USB C, like most do.
   I like the rechargeable aspect, and will get some use out of the light, for as long as the charger hangs around.
   So, this review is probably a bit wonky, because if all the pieces and parts work, and you can figure them all out, this might be a 5 star product for those people.
   Unfortunately, I am one of those people who like clear instructions on things that aren’t simple and intuitive.

   This product is pretty powerful once you learn how to use it. It’s features are all controlled using one button. From holding… to single, double, triple, and even quadruple clicking… you will get different functionality. The manual leaves a bit out (like how to setup the headband) but does explain these operations. There are some videos online you can reference as well. The more you use it, the more it will make sense.

   One of the main reasons this has a slight edge over traditional headlamps, is the ability to pop it out of the headband. You can then use the provided clip to attach it to your belt and use it as a flashlight. This is super handy and probably something I see myself using a lot.

   It’s bright, easy to charge, and solid. The headband took me a few minutes to figure out how to assemble, and it took me longer to realize that it ships with the battery disconnected with a plastic insert. Headband is comfortable. This is my first 18650 flashlight with a high CRI and delivers exactly what I was looking for.

   It has a bunch of overly complicated modes, I don’t really care for that one way or another, and the names they use for the different levels is just hokey. Turbo, I guess, means temporarily bright till it overheats. It does work, though, 1 click for the last normal mode you select and 2 clicks for the last turbo mode and you hold the bottom to select the lighting level within a mode. Strobe I will never use.

   I picked this over the Armytek Wizard C2 Pro Nichia Magnet USB due to claimed longer run-time (efficiency). They really should publish comparable data (run-time at a specific measured lumens output) so you have to rely on 3rd party information.

   I would prefer the emitter and battery compartment to be separated with a wire so you can put weight of the batteries on the back of your head. This would also open up the option of using (multiple) 21700 batteries for longer run-time. It would also be nice if you could attach an external battery back via the magnetic charging cable (yes, I prefer magnetic to USB-C to for water proofing).
