very bright with really good headband
I purchased this several months ago. Its a great light for hiking etc, but no good for working in close quarters. I was hoping for a light that would do away with the need to constantly change batteries. my last headlamp used AAA batteries and it constantly flickers and drives me nuts.
However, this lamp does not swivel. it is locked in one position. this means I cannot get the light beam on to the work I am trying to see. Trying to wire up a thermostat was impossible.
This light will not hold a charge. it has gone dead several times just laying in the back seat of my car. no it was not left on. Unfortunately, this light does not meet my needs.

Great rugged and bright light
This is an amazing light. It is way brighter than my Dewalt work light and I like the ability to have 5 brightness levels to change between longer battery life or a super bright work area that isn’t always needed. There are little guards to protect the led when this gets dropped and the magnets are a great feature to give you greater mounting options in a commercial work environment. The only thing I wish that was different would be to add a texture grip to the back instead of just paint. This light it has some weight to it and it can feel slippery if you have anything in your hand and your not carrying it with the handle. Either way this is an amazing product and I think I will be buying a few more in the future.

Great battery life and ruggedness!!
This light has been a savior so many times! From using at home for home and auto repairs to using it at my job doing electrical and mechanical work. Battery life has been amazing and the steel body offers great ruggedness to the light. The magnets work well but one downfall is the coverings over the magnets peel up and come off after several uses. Unfortunately recently while on vacation from work someone decided they needed the light and stole it. The few months I had the light it was a great addition! Thanks Southwire for making great products!

Bright, Versatile, Good Build Quality
This light is a beast it is very well built and i like that i can use it in many different situations. I can set this up on the floor and illuminate a whole room or stick it to overhead steel and adjust the angle and it is just like having an overhead light. At 2000 lumens it truly is blinding if you are in tight quarters so i mostly use the 1200-800-400 settings. The integrated USB charger is a great addition it even has its own button to power it on. You can charge the light, use the light and USB all at the same time. The magnets work very well i would prefer to see stronger rectangular magnets as the weight is probably two pounds and it is a solid brick. Best tripod light i have every used and i do not even use it with a tripod. This is my favorite light.

Nice for a service technician
Using this light for work as a radio service technician. Nice light to stick on truck frame or any steel surface. Can be a bit tipsy on non steel surfaces. The battery life right now is good like the usb port in the back and being able to dim the light. Its very bright and like the feel of the construction of the unit would recommend. Would be nice if it came with a vehicle charging cable. Did not yet use the tripod mounting threads in the bottom but seems it could be put to good use in some applications

Bright, but just okay
It is a very bright light. I used it outside and was impressed by the light that it gave off. The two settings allow for either a zero'd in beam, or a flood beam. My 3 gripes on it, however, are that the switch is difficult to operate, the swivel hinge could be tighter (although I didn't experience a whole lot of the light swiveling down) and I would have liked it to come with a rubber strap for use on my hard hat. The elastic nylon strap just doesn't cut it when it comes to affixing onto a hard hat.

A MUST BUY For the price!!!
I have bought one of these lights for each of my service trucks! They are extremely bright with several light output options which make it versatile for any space. They are very durable and battery life is just enough to get the job done. The handle has a built-in magnetic perfect for electrical panels or metal studs. Has a built-in USB so you can charge your phone if needed. You will not be disappointed with the purchase of this affordable light. It’s well worth the price for brightness and quality.

Great Brightness
While I am not a fan of the way the headband works, and the fact that this headlamp is not USB rechargeable, the brightness helps make up for the flaws. I haven't used it long enough to see how long the 3 AAA batteries last, but you have the option of a narrow beam, or wide beam. The wide beam really fills a small room with light making it really easy to see around you while you work.
