Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Setting up a travel trailer generally means doing it in the dark during the winter as it gets dark so early. Using a flashlight works, but it provides its own issues as you try to hold the light and connect power, water, etc. So, I really wanted to get a light weight, easy to use headlamp to leave my hands free. That is why I ordered this product. Here is what I found when I received it. 1. The unit comes with no batteries (noted in ad for device) and no instructions on how to switch from white light to red light. There is a picture on the box that shows you what options are available in each, but nothing that tells you how to switch between them. To answer that question, turn on the light and then hold down the switch button. The light will then switch from whatever color it was in to the other color. To switch back, do the same process again. Have the light on and then hold the button down until it switches. You will find you need to play with the switch a bit to figure out how to change to each setting. 2. The white light is very bright but the red light is not so much. The red is intended to preserve your night vision so it is strange that one of the features of the red light is an SOS function!!! That function is NOT available in the white light which can be seen much further away than the red light can. 3. The head band is easily adjustable and holds the light securely. The three AAA batteries required for this do not weigh much so they are not a problem. Figure on a good 3 hours of light before you need to replace the batteries. This is ok, but not great and I am sure it is a function of the small batteries!! 4. The light is adjustable for up and down with detents to keep it at the setting you want. Easy to adjust with one hand while wearing the unit. This is a perfect light for my needs as they are short term use and not all that frequent. Since two lights are provided in the package, I labeled then with a color band. I use one until the light gets dim and then switch to the other unit after pulling out the batteries so I do not forget. These would certainly be good for short walks at night, just not for long ones unless you bring spare batteries (3 ea AAA). I would recommend this product. NOTE: I did receive a discount coupon to redeem after buying this product after having purchased a bicycle light from them.
