Headlamp February 25, 2010 JP (Reseda, CA USA) Bought this item based on the reviews from other purchasers and research on about 3 other items out there. This seemed to fit what I needed to do the most. I used this 3 times within the first 3 weeks I bought it. It's quick to get ready instead of stringing extension cords and drop lights for relatively quick jobs. For me it's HVAC and cat 5 wiring projects. It works well. There's 3 levels of lighting. I wear it with a ball cap so the weight of the battery pack is not an issue. It stays with me so I don't have to juggle a flashlight and hand tools. So far I'm pleased.
Perfect for close-up electrical work, attick, basement, etc February 16, 2010 Colbster (Seattle, WA USA) I use it for doing electrical work in my own house, in the attic, or working on things in the garage up-close where intense light helps make the job easier. Works very nicely. Overall construction is very good, especially the battery compartment. Battery weight (3 AAA's) is about as heavy as you can get without the light sliding down your nose.
My only suggestion to the manufacturer would be to offer single-push-to-off button along with the existing 4-cycle (off, low, medium, high) button. When I only need the low (1st) or medium (2nd) setting, it's annoying to have to push it 1 or 2 extra times to turn it off. Thank goodness I don't have to cycle through a flashing/hazard setting!
Septor Stream Light head lights with 7 LED's February 11, 2010 Jack Dumbauld (central PA & WV) I've been using these lights commercially for the last 6 yrs and they are reliable and provide a good light with good battery life that is measured in weeks of use everyday. They only take 3 AAA batteries.
I especially like the two style head band straps; one for hard hats and one for that fits over your naked head.
I use one of each style of head band as I use them almost every day and the changeover is somewhat of a pain.
They aren't the smallest or lightest on the market, but I can not imagine a light that is more reliable. I would recommend this light to anyone. I bought one of the lights when they first became available and my clients would snicker and ask if I was a coal miner. Now they are common as can be in the utility power plants that I consult to. It seems as if everyone has a head light and these Stream Light are the most common among professionals.
The only negative is that they don't give you much warning when the batteries go dead. It's full brilliance and then 60 seconds after noticing that it isn't as bright as it was........it's dead. This is no biggie for me as I buy my batteries by the case in all sizes and I keep them changed out often. I'll use a digital volt meter and change the batteries when they get down to 1.3 vdc from the full 1.6vdc when new. Stream Light also makes a very similar head light with 3 LED's and a central incandescent bulb that is only good for gauging battery life. The incandescant light will dim noticeably when the batteries get low, but the LED's are still bright.
Amazingly useful January 5, 2010 Dr. P. M. Emerson (Atlanta, GA USA) Received this as a Christmas present in 2008 and was initially disappointed thinking 'great, now what will I do with it?'. An hour later I was setting up the new Wii machine and used the headlight to illuminate the sockets behind the television, then again when crawling under the furniture to access wall sockets, then again for something else. Over the last year I have used it practically everyday when flossing the kids' teeth, for atmospheric reading of bed-time stories, or walking the dog on winter nights. I also travel with it and have taken it to Africa 6 times and camping in the wilds of Sudan without it failing. Being an unashamed geek I have even used it on transatlantic flights to read with - I realize it does not enhance my looks, but does not disturb other passengers with the overhead light. In short this headlight gives very good illumination using 1,3 or 7 LEDs, battery life is very good with very little fading of the luminosity as the batteries get old. I can not compare it to other similar products, but I have found mine to be robust and amazingly useful.
"I saw the light and it was good" November 4, 2009 W. Parkinson (Blackfoot, ID) I had been using a light that had only one LED and it just wasn't bright enough in some situations. I work in the electrical trade and both hands need to be available to work and lighting is usually nonexistent. This light is like stepping outdoors in the middle of the afternoon! It has three levels and almost always I am on the low one. Another great feature is the push button on switch. My previous light had a rotary switch and took both hands(usually dirty and greasy) to operate. It is a little bit hungrier for battery but given the illumination that's understandable. This is a great product, worth the price, and my coworkers all want one too.
