Dorcy International 41-2098 145-Lumens 3AAA LED Aluminum Headlamp with Batteries

Cheap Dorcy International 41-2098 145-Lumens 3AAA LED Aluminum Headlamp with Batteries Review




Just got this and have used it for walking around in the pitch dark and for working behind my stereo changing wires. Very practical so far. Construction is good. Operation is easy. I like it.

Easy to adjust headband with over-the-top loop makes it secure and comfortable and easy to position the light. The light is a little bit bulky compared to the Petzl low-profile lamps, which have their place but are not as bright and can't cast a long-distance beam like this one does. But it's not big, and it feels light. You're not going to forget it's there, but it's not a drag to wear.

The body seems solid enough, but made of plastic not aluminum. The ratcheting adjustment gear is plastic but it seems like good high-impact plastic that should last. We'll see. I don't really want to be adjusting it a lot, just in case.

The light turns on with one click, one more click dims it to about 60% brightness. It's easy to quickly click on and off. It looks very water resistant, or even waterproof.

There's just one bulb, the 3W Luxeon, and both brightness settings cast the same shaped focused beam surrounded by a cone of usable light. At either setting the beam goes out to at least 100ft and you can also see some of your surroundings, so you're not looking through a straw, so to speak. For example, I stood about six feet from a wall and the beam was about 18 inches wide and the cone of light was about ten feet wide, a pretty good balance. The headlamps that cast a diffuse glow are nice, but can't light up the night like this one does, especially out to 100ft.

The bright setting is surprisingly bright, especially considering the 3 AAA battery pack. The dimmer setting is a good balance between not too bright and not too dim. You can really see what you're doing. It would be nice if there was one more dimmer setting but that's just nitpicking.

A good headlamp and a bargain at with free shipping. plus tax and shipping would be reasonable.

Streamlight 61051 Trident Green Super-Bright LED/Incandescent Combo Headlight

Cheap Streamlight 61051 Trident Green Super-Bright LED/Incandescent Combo Headlight Review




We are back online looking to purchase another light from Streamlight because everyone loves this light. We like the option to choose between a green light, 2 LED's and 1 xenon ? light. Works in all different situations. This is NOT a super bright light that someone else was wanting, but I don't think they make one strong enough for him, lol. Streamlight does make some that have more LED's and are stronger, but there are times you want the other white light or a green light. The unit stays on our heads, even my 3 yr olds. It has not broke and has been abused by a 3 yr old. Tilts easily. I used it last night to get the animals that were outside, inside into their cages. I have a handheld coleman light, that is suppose to be used for emergancies and everyday, but it was not near as good as this headlamp!! That one is "Coleman LED MicroPacker Lantern" with 2 LED's and a reflector. It is 1/2 the price and I am back online to buy better lightening options, such as the Streamlights!

Petzl E97 PM Tikka Plus 2 Headlamp, Mystic Gray

Cheap Petzl E97 PM Tikka Plus 2 Headlamp, Mystic Gray Review




When I first ordered the headlamp, I was very worried about the clear case because I read some review saying that it spills out light onto the face and is distracting. I wear glasses, and another review site suggested that it would be a real problem.
I would like to confirm that this is totally not the case. The clear housing of the headlamp does spill out some light, but it is very very minimal. I used my hand to block the bottom of the housing to compare and it really makes no difference. I also have have the Energizer 6 LED headlamp and that one spills out a lot of light onto my glasses making things hard to see.
Overall, I am very happy with the purchase. An upgrade to the Tikka XP 2 can be made for by switching out the LED. Search for SSC P4 (which is the LED installed in Tikka XP 2) in google. Soldering skills are required for the upgrade.

Great buy!

Beam N Read LED 3 Hands Free Light with 3 Bright LEDs; Batteries Included Last Extra Long 120 Hours; Clip on Night Vision Filter; for Reading Books & Loose Papers, Travel, Camping, Emergency Lighting, & A Lot More

Cheap Beam N Read LED 3 Hands Free Light with 3 Bright LEDs; Batteries Included Last Extra Long 120 Hours; Clip on Night Vision Filter; for Reading Books & Loose Papers, Travel, Camping, Emergency Lighting, & A Lot More Review




I have used Beam N Reads for years. I started using the Beam N Read to check on my infant children, change diapers, check on a feeding tube, etc. without needing to turn on the overhead light. When the other children were sleeping I did not want to wake them. Years later, on Halloween it was a big help finding items the kids dropped out of the stroller in the dark shadows. I could keep one hand on the stroller and the other was free to pick stuff up. The kids are older now but one recent night after they were in bed with the lights out, I used a Beam N Read with the red filter attached to apply some ointment to one of the children. When finished I turned the light out and could immediately see in the darkened room. No night blindness that would have occurred if I hadn't put the filter over the bright white light. During the occasional blackout, I can walk around the house with both hands free. I've used it when looking for papers in storage boxes in the unfinished storage space under the house - especially in spaces the overhead light doesn't reach. It's been very useful.

Petzl Tikka XP LED

Cheap Petzl Tikka XP LED Review




This thing is fantastic. It has a sliding diffuser that changes the tight BRIGHT spot to a wide area light. The spot is about 20" across at 8 feet, and the difused light area is 10 feet wide at 8 feet. VERY bright, great power reserve led indicator, light, bobust construction. The "Turbo" button is double the brightness, but if used too long will burn out the LED. I rarely need or use it anyway. I give these to my gadget guru friends and they love them. I have 2 myself. I like to wear it loose around my meck, upside down. This allows you to pivot it into position for illuminating work at table or lap positions. Great for taking notes in the dark, working on stuff, and walking in the dark. I like not having it mounted to my skull too. Great for working in dark areas, like stages, cars, yard at night, a good bike headlamp, camping light, tent light, blah blah blah. Buy one... or MORE!

Streamlight Vantage LED Helmet Mounted Flashlight

Cheap Streamlight Vantage LED Helmet Mounted Flashlight Review




I got to use the vantage on a house fire for the first time this morning. This thing is super bright. So bright that when I look at people, they'd look away. I forgot I had the thing on!

The mounting of the light is very secure. However, I have a visor on my helmet. The light works awesome when the visor is up, but it will be partially blocked when the visor is down. I don't see a big problem with this unless your doing mop ups or extrications when the visor needs to be down.

All the guys on scene were asking about it, so they seemed impressed as well. The blue light on the light was great too. I obviously didn't notice it, but my guys on the hose line could see me as I moved around in thick smoke down to knee level. They seemed to think it was easy to see.

Update: Feb 26

We had a tech rescue this morning. Guy fell 30 feet into a well, early morning, and very dark. I had the light on my helmet when my captain and I dropped down with the patient. The light worked well, but in a confined space the thing is super bright. It's awesome for working around a house or a large area, but the intensity of the light and the straight focused beam is something to keep in mind in a situation where space is confined. It worked great of course, but just be aware of where that thing is pointing.

All in all, it's an awesome light... highly recommended.
