They are perfect for what I intend to use them for, which is simply a hands-free light when working under desks and inside computer cases. Doesn't have to be outdoor quality or provide light that lasts forever; I just need two hands free while doing a thirty-minute job. I agree with the "dubious batteries, but no regrets" review. The build of the light itself seems quite good for the price, both in terms of focus adjustability and "heavy" aluminum construction. The headband is average & a bit clunky, as you might expect for the price. But I think the batteries are just filled with a few fireflys or something else equally lightweight, because they seem to have far too little mass for the rating that's printed on them. So I too expect to replace the batteries at some point soon, and that the included batteries won't hold a charge for as long as "real batteries" will. As shown, we're talking about rechargeable 18650 batteries; not AA / AAA / C / D sizes. And as noted in other reviews, the batteries are both installed & wired in a parallel rather than series pattern. Which makes me wonder whether the "melted the battery contacts" review might have involved accidentally installing the batteries in a series pattern. So perhaps take care to reinstall them correctly after removing them.Read full review

Batteries very light are labelled "5000 mAh", which is almost certainly overstated. The well-known battery brands max out at 2700-3000 mAh, and cost a lot more than I paid for this entire headlamp + 2 batteries + shipping deal. So it's not a shock to get cheaped-out on the batteries. Despite the battery deception, I like the headlamp. It is really bright, and the ability to focus allows you to put a spotlight on places 100 yards (or meters :^) down the road or a super bright, wide circle close to you. I took it jogging at night, and it's definitely heavier than a traditional headlamp that takes the 3 AAA batteries, but the battery pack at the back reasonably balanced the lamp/lens at the front, and it was pretty stable with the bouncing up and down. I was able to go 3 continuous hours on the high setting before the light started to fade quickly. Box said up to 20 hours, but definitely not with these batteries and not on the high setting. The elastic bands seem on the small side. I have it adjusted out to the biggest size to fit over my head, and I really had to stretch the band to make it fit over my climbing helmet. One odd thing is that the batteries are in parallel, not in series like most electronics. But that means it will run on just one battery. I found that after charging that the batteries were low if I left them in the lamp for a few days. So I plan to keep batteries out of the lamp and out of the charger when not in use. All in all, I got a good deal for the price I paid. I would take this lamp around the neighborhood, and possibly on an overnight, but probably not on an expedition unless I upgraded the batteries.Read full review

I am always skeptical about electronic items from china- but this one is a solid winner. The straps are a soft yet firm elastic and easy to adjust. Separating the front light from back battery was smart design. It keeps the light balanced and comfortable. Also, the front plastic that sitas against your forehead is wide and well shaped so there is nothing digging in. Rechargeability really saves on batteries too. The light gets weaker as the circle is expanded which makes it excellent for walking at night- i use it while walking my dog and it is BRIGHT, but focus the beam small, and you can EASILY see 300 feet down the road. It's no kidding like having a xenon car headlight on your head! You could also easily stitch/tack it to a hat or locktite it to a helmet. Would highly recommend.

Nice design, great for walking dog or working around the house. Keeps your hands free. Extremely bright light even at the lowest setting. Comes with everything you need at a good price. It would have been nice if it was zoom able but not a big deal breaker for me. It does a good job for my intended use.
