Everbeam H6 Switch LED Headlamp Head Torch, Dual Power 1200mAh Rechargeable Battery / 3 AAA Batteries, Motion Sensor, Ultra Bright 680 Lumens, 45 hrs Runtime, USB Headlight Flashlight, Waterproof

Great head torch comfortable powerful and long lasting battery

Bought for sailing where I sometimes need a bright hands free torch, and at other times a red light for chart work that doesn't affect my night vision.The light levels are well chosen - a usefully bright beam for seeing at a distance, e.g. cycling or mooring a boat, a good lower white level for close work, and the red is perfect for close work.The band is ok and holds the torch on my head. It works over a beanie but is a little less secure.The battery holds its charge well so would be good for emergency or standby use - I left it for over six months and it had plenty of charge left.

Second of these I’ve purchased one for me and one for my daughter for her work

Not so sure about the purported 680 lumens. I tested this against my 350 lumen Nitecore, and I'll be sticking with that when out hiking as it seems to throw more light out than these Everbeam units do.The Everbeam units have a very narrow beam, almost like a spot light, and so it only illuminates a small portion of the way ahead, whereas my Nitecore has a more spread beam, making it more useful for seeing more of the ground of where you are walking. The "spot light", didn't seem any brighter than the light coming out of the Nitecore unit either - when I had both on full power pointing in the same direction, the Nitecore appeared to be just as bright, only over a wider area.You can't fault the price though, even more so considering they come with not only a rechargeable battery, but also a nice and compact case.They are certainly a useful headlamp to have around the house and in the car.

Super bright (much more so than cheaper lights that I have).The battery compartment is a clever design, which can accommodate the (supplied) rechargeable battery or three alkaline AAA cells.This is a brilliant combination (no pun intended). When the light is being used frequently, rechargeable is the way to go... but it is useless if the light has not been used for a while because all rechargeable batteries slowly self-discharge when not used - so they will probably be flat when you come to use them after a long hiatus. Alkaline AAA cells have a very long shelf life, so can be there when you need them.There is room in the carrying case to tuck some AAA cells as a back-up for the rechargeable battery.The motion detect feature takes a bit of getting used to and, to be honest, I have not used it a great deal. However, I can see how it could be very useful in certain circumstances. It could make the batteries last a lot longer because it makes it easy to turn off when not actually needed.

Really good to have ability to change re chargeable battery for AAA. But can’t see anywhere where you can buy a second “spare” rechargeable battery, like you get on more premium set up.Good value.

This is the 2nd one I’ve bought. I had the first one over a year now and as a plumber I use it most days in attics. I charge it in van on the way home and then keep it in its case in my toolbox! Excellent headlamp for the money 👌🏼

Perfect for walking and trekking very bright light and the fact you can charge it when you have power or have aaa batteries handy is perfect
