I bought this to replace my ancient, heavy battery-pack, incandescent -bulb, Petzl headlamp of which I just saw one on eBay for sale described as "vintage" - ha! Anyhow, I was going on my first-ever night time trail run and wanted to have something that was newer and hopefully brighter and more reliable. I am happy to report that this fit the bill perfectly for our 3 hour run. I brought a couple of mini led flashlights with me just in case, but no need for them in the least. This headlamp provided plenty of light, was comfortable on my giant skull, was easily adjustable for near/far and different brightness levels. Since I have only used it once, I cannot report on reliability, but I hope it will last!One feature of this that sounds cool, but I am not so sure about is the motion sensing on/off. You can set this so that it will turn on or off if you wave your hand in front of the light. I have not done testing to see how close you have to be to activate this, but it seemed to me that it could be dangerous if you were out trail running and a tree branch waved across that field and turned your light out on you. As I said, I have not tested this, but it's something to check out. I also have not fiddled around with the two different lights, but did not realize until I got it that only one or the other can be on at one time. Not a big issue, because either one on their own provides plenty of light.. and I suppose it would drain the battery much more quickly to have them both on.Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase, and recommend this lamp.

Pluspunkt: keine Batterie erforderlich, sondern einfach via USB-Kabel an den Rechner stecken und aufladen lassen. Danach hält sie eine gute Weile durch, in der sie vielseitig verwendbar ist, um zielgenau auszuleuchten woran immer man grade arbeitet, während man beide Hände frei hat. Die Lampe ist mir zum praktischen und nicht mehr wegzudenkenden Helfer für viele Tätigkeiten geworden, unter anderem auch wenn ich am Rechner rumschrauben muss.

Used it as a work light while decorating at home, doing electrical work in low light areas at work and while walking at night. I found the cob light to be most useful. It provides a wide spread of light that gives a very good field of view while walking.The spot light is brighter but covers a smaller area. It's good when you need high brightness detail work or when you need to see significant distances. It does have flashing modes which could be useful when trying to make the light last longer or make the wearer more visible.There are two buttons on the unit, one for the cob light function and one for the spotlight function. The buttons are a good size and easy to operate with hands and, due to their shoe, should be ok to use with gloves. When turning on and off it remembers the last setting so there's no need to cycle through all the options all the time. I liked that.The wave on/off works well although I did find it falsely activate while working with arms/hands close to head. It's not a problem though, in that case you just wouldn't enable the wave on/off.The usb charge port is covered by a rubber flap that provides some protection against dust and water. It's easy to move to expose the charge port and the cover is retained so it won't be lost.Battery life was decent. Lasting a few hours before dropping in brightness on full cob brightness. Other modes could provide a longer life.The band is wide and comfortable enough for several hours of wear. I have used direct on head and on hardhat and there is enough adjustment in the band to accommodate this. It did slip off the hard hat a few times but it could have been fixed easily with some tape if needed. I can't mark it down for that since it's not the intended use.Highly recommended headtorch!
