Great Bargain Headlamp Review by Stephen

Rating

I use this headlamp on a daily basis for walking my dog on a dimly lit trail. I looked for headlamps at other retailers and you can't beat the price on GoldenGadgets.

About the light:
- The beam is very bright up front
- The light disperses very quickly in the distance
- The beam acts more like a wide flood lamp rather than a focused spotlight
- The three brightness settings are helpful
- Good for hiking, camping, but probably not for fast biking

About the build:
- The fit is pretty comfy and stays put
- The lamp is made of plastic, so I would not chance any rough contact with it
- The ability to change the angle of the beam is excellent
- I like the battery adapter to hold the AAA betteries and make loading/unloading easier

Summary:
This is a very basic headlamp and a good value for low-light, hands-free activities. (Posted on 12/11/09)

For $8 shipped, I think it's a worthwhile deal. Review by Shawn O

I recently ordered it and found the product to not be as bright as I expected (about the same as my dad's crank LED flashlight), but better than what I've been using. I need it for night-time biking so I can illuminate the road in front of me. It does that decently well with better beam spread than my conventional bulb headlight, and it's definitely brighter, but not the piercing brightness I expected. You can't be going very fast. Also, the plastic is NOT unbreakable. I had the headlamp in my backpack on a ride and when I took it out to use it at night, part of the plastic loop that holds one of the straps to the lamp had cracked off. Superglue seems to have fixed it, but I wasn't rough with the backpack so I don't know why it broke in the first place. For $8 shipped, I think it's a worthwhile deal. (Posted on 9/1/09)
