Cheap Coast LED Lenser TT7498CP H7R Rechargeable Focusing Headlamp with Dimmer, Black Review
Mine is an older model. It has a dimmer control, but does not focus. There are 5 white LEDs controlled by one push button and a single red LED on another button. The white LEDs turn off when the red light is on. The sliding dimmer switch works on either. Bought it probably 3 or 4 years ago. The 3 AAA alkaline batteries have been changed maybe twice in that time.
The light lives inside its compact pouch in the glove box of my car, through all the heavy Wisconsin weather: freezing, soggy, humid or hot. It rarely comes inside. Yet unlike every other flashlight I have owned- including several Maglites- the LED Lenser has never once failed to work when I needed it.
In rural Wisconsin, it gets dark at night. Really dark. From changing a tire on a lonely country road to checking the barnyard for predators to dragging the trashcans down the driveway for pick up the next morning, I have had more than a few opportunities to be grateful for this product.
This evening I took the time to open the watertight battery compartment, fully expecting to see leakage and corrosion after all this time. Even as old as they are the batteries were still pristine. The light still worked blindingly well. That was when I decided to write this review.
[...]Built well, feather weight, tough as nails, comfortable to wear and apparently the batteries last forever. I can't recommend this light enough.
