Solidly built headlamp with intuitive features and versatile battery compatibility.

Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

My ideal headlamp. I like that the mode starts at the dimmest setting and you switch colors with the knob rather than a series of button taps. ISo if you are using the red light, you don't have to cycle through the other colors each time you turn it on and it always starts at the dimmest setting so you don't alert anybody or game to your presence. It's a well thought out design. It seems durable. The beam takes a little getting used to since it is a static pattern with a bright center spot and a dimmer area light but I've gotten used to it. It's not the brightest light on the market but plenty bright for me. I prefer to use a dimmer light to preserve my night vision as much as possible.

Good light, poor MOLLE attachment.

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2017

Verified Purchase

Great light. I don't recommend trying to use the MOLLE attachment to hold the light on the front of a vest, or ruck. Mine was lost on the first trip out. Keep it on your head, or in your ruck and it will give you a long service life. The light itself is well built, and lightweight. The multiple battery option is a real plus. The button is silent. I also like how it starts with the dimmest setting and gets brighter vs. the the other way around. The led selector seitch is intuitive, too. Just remember the phrase, “IR (I are), Red, White, and Blue”, and you know which led your selecting in the dark using the tactile indicators. This is a good, functional light that does what it’s designed to do well. Streamlight did a good job with this light.

Ultra Durable Headlamp

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2023

Verified Purchase

I have owned several headlamps, ranging from cheapies that can be found at Wal-Mart to more durable brands such as Petzl and Black Diamond but, this was my first headlamp from Streamlight.

I opted for Streamlight because I wanted something more durable and reliable and I Streamlight has delivered. In not so rare cases, my Petzl's have to be shaken in order to get the light to come on, due to losse contacts with the batteries. I have not had this issue with Black Diamond or Streamlight.

This Streamlight headlamp has four different lights:
White Light (normal), Red Light (to conserve your night vision), Blue Light (for tracking blood at night, useful for hunters or perhaps military application), and IR Light (to be used in conjunction with Night-Vision optics). Change between lights by pulling out a knob, turning it, and letting it drop back into place.

In addition, each light has four brightness levels (1-4) : I find White Light to be useful on Setting 3 and Setting 4 levels, while the other lights need to be on the 4th Setting, to be of any use, as they are not bright enough on lower settings. This is acceptable, for my application, which is mostly hiking or camping. To change brightness levels, press and hold the one and only button and let go when the desired brightness level is observed. Whatever brightness level is set, will be remembered, when you power on the headlamp, again. (to power on or off, press the one and only button, once for ~1 second, then let go)

Another kudos to this headlamp design is the single-large button, to power on and off the device. Many modern headlamps have several smaller buttons which can make them somewhat difficult to operate, especially in low or no-light situations. This headlamp follows the KISS method, and that is a plus, in my book.

This headlamp also comes with a helmet mount, which I would imagine is useful for military application but not very useful for civilian use. A head-strap is included, for non-helmet wear, around the head or hat/cap.

The only negative remark I can give for this headlamp is the comfortability, when work on the provided strap, around the head. The headlamp itself, has no padding on the area which will make contact with your head, on the back side of the strap, which is somewhat uncomfortable. To circumvent this, one could simply wear this headlamp with a hat or cap. (or perhaps add your own padding, with foam and hot-glue, if you're feeling crafty)

The CR123 Lithium batteries are used, which I already stock in plenty due to using them on various lights, lasers, and optics. You can find these batteries on Amazon, in bulk, for a good price, or over-priced at various local stores. The operators manual recommends Lithium batteries, only. While others may work, they will not provide as many lumens of brightness, nor will they last very long.

Despite the comfort level, I would still recommend this headlamp to anyone who is looking for a more durable and reliable product, and is not put off by the higher price point. You get what you pay for.

A great headlight and helmet light. I used one of these in Afghanistan and it worked great either as a headlight just going to the bathroom at night, or as my helmet mounted light with its extra clip.

Now I use this as my light for Ragnar Relay and Spartan Endurance events. It stays in place even when running long distances, it lasts forever on a battery, and the optional red light is great to save other people's vision. I've beat this thing into the ground and rolled on it over and over and its still as good as new.

My buddy bought one after he saw it go through our first Spartan event together and he couldn't be happier either.

I have used it on hikes and it is very easy to wear and at no time did it bother ...

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2014

Verified Purchase

First off the Product did show up on time and packaged very well, no issues there at all! If you are looing for a headlamp that will last or stand the age of time this would be it. What you pay for this product you will save in replacement headlamps I'm sure of. I have used it on hikes and it is very easy to wear and at no time did it bother me nor did not feel like my head was being weighed down. I've used it on night/early morning hikes on the low setting, there was plenty of light to illuminate the trail. No issues with using AA batters and the life of the batters seem to be comparable. This product is not a race horse, but a work horse so if that is what your looking for this will be the product for you. I like the fact that I can unclip the headband and attach the headlamp to a pack strap or what ever and dummy cord it. I liked it so much I bought it's big brother as well and it worked equally well in camp and on the trail. Did I mention how light it seems on your head as you wear it!!!

Dodgy light colour selection switch, unsafe in a tactical environment

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 20, 2023

Verified Purchase

Bought this for a military deployment.
When set in red light mode and then switched on, the white bulb illuminates.
When I rotate the selection switch clockwise into the blue light position, the white light illuminates (it works as intended if I rotate anti-clockwise).

In Summary - its showing white light when it shouldn't. Unacceptable in a tactical environment.

And having returned from that deployment, Amazon's 30-day return policy has expired so I'm sort of stuck with a light that is unsafe to us for my job.

Cooles Teil. Der Drehschalter: Mega! Versehentliches Einschalten des Weißlicht ist schwierig. Unzählige Anbringungsmöglichkeiten, robust und leicht!
Sie ist zwar kein Lichtmonster aber das soll sie gar nicht sein. Die Batterie musste ich seit einem halben Jahr bisher noch nicht wechseln.
