Product Description
One of the most amazing developments in flashlight technology, we refer to the Luxeon LED as the 'flashlight on steroids'. Until you've experienced it, it's hard to describe how much pure white light emits from a headlamp this light and comfortable-to-wear. Great for night-time hiking, running, biking, cross-country skiing; favored by professional tradesmen for low-light job tasks because the light is automatically directed to line-of-vision--and it keeps both hands free! Durable weather-resistant construction, adjustable angle pivot, easy-reach on/off switch.

 Do your homework before buying this October 30, 2008
Full disclosure: I do not actually have one.
I had one on order on an impulse buy ([...]), then changed my mind after reading some more ([...]).
Negative comments were that it was cheaply made, breaks easily, and smells bad. Given the press about cheap Chinese stuff with questionable materials in them, I gave it a pass. When I am out in the mountains or desert I want a light I can depend on.
If you want an one for occasional non-critical use around the house or for the kids, its probably for you. If you need a reliable unit for rustic camping etc., you should probably consider a higher quality item.
No longer a great value (can't change rating, but I would to 2/5) April 26, 2008

Great light, very bright. Seems flimsy, but not going to use for anything more than night reading and riding so great. EDIT: Falls apart too easily. only had it for a couple of months and then it busted. The light cover came off and would screw back on, and after changing batteries the light would not turn on. Not buying anything ever again from this company and definitely not this light.

pros:
-surprisingly bright on both level settings. (there is a third setting that flashes the light repeatedly, as well). Its so bright even on the low setting that i dont think i'll ever use the high setting which is almost blinding. Decent 'spread' on the light too.
-comes with two attachments - one for your bike's handlebar, and another to attach to the elastic bands so you can wear it on your head. You need a smallish phillips screwdriver to swap out the connector. In either connection the light will pivot up and down quite well.
-uses 3 aaa batteries, easy to find or use rechargeables.
-great price point, very inexpensive.
-very light, very comfortable all around.
cons:
-flimsy build quality. if you twist the cover on the bulb, it comes off in your hand. Similarly, as soon as I opened the battery compartment, one of the springs in the compartment fell out and I had to fiddle with it to put it back into the right place. Fit and finish is wanting, though if you dont mess with it, it does seem to hold together.
-three-way elastic band-- the top band never felt comfortable. It pulls the light up and off your head. seems like it should be longer, but it isnt. as a result i have to just flip the top elastic band to the side and just wear the whole thing like a headband.

I was completely satisfied with this product. I ordered 5 of these items for my grandchildren for Christmas and one of the headlamps came broken. After emailing the company, I got immediate response and the item was replaced without question.
