ODEAR Bright Headlamp Rechargeable LED Torch for Mining,Camping, Hiking, Fishing

Living out in the country where there's no street lighting and plenty of bumps in the night that make me go out to check on my horses/stock, I've accumulated a pretty good portfolio of quality LED lights. LED lighting is a boon, providing plenty of illumination with very little current, so it's possible to have very bright lights in a very small package. However, I've found a downside to LED lights is they reflect back from any airborne particles--dust, smoke, moisture, rain, snow--much more than their incandescent predecessors (and in fact, halogen fog lights remain the best choice for the vehicles). Now to this Odear light: for some reason this Odear light, with its single LED light source but nicely contoured reflector producing a tightly focused beam, punches through with a minimum of glare. I've got another light with five of the very same LEDs as the single LED in this Odear, and a side by side comparison is amazing: the multiple LED light does put out more light overall, but much of it is dispersed and there's a good amount of glare (off the wildfire smoke that presently occupies the air). The Odear light isn't dispersed, and it punches right through. I'd in our present conditions conditions where there's very thick smoke from a nearby wildfire, the Odear is able to illuminate clearly up to 200 yards, while the other light can't penetrate past 100 yards. I'll also add, reducing reflected glare has obvious advantages for reducing the amount that using a light at night reduces your night vision. The downside to this Odear light is the weight, but it is easy to live with it for the functionality it provides.

Bright light. For when you need to see during zero light situations. I have several pocket sized headlamps that don’t come close to this. Other models similar to this item were more expensive or had short battery life. I took this in a few caves it was my main lamp except when I saw other approaching I switched to my secondary smaller headlamp to be courteous. This lamp shines a clear beam about 50-100 yards of zero light situations (caves, canyons, remote Forrest’s in my experience) depending on air quality. Prior to purchase I read a review stating a 12 hour life. I have not been tested eager to test this but it has lasted 2-3 hours at a time. Pros: provides enough light to view your surroundings in dark situations reliably up to 50yds, I would expect 100 yds in ideal conditions. Good battery life on full charge. Price. Weather resistant I got mine splashed generously a couple time. High & Low mode. Cons- charger cable skinny, hollow, round.. my own fault but I misplaced mine. Beam is not adjustable. Would recommend

Wow, this thing is bright and easily puts out a solid concentrated beam out to 100 yards. The battery in my unit lasted about 5-1/2 hours on high before it started to go dim - THIS WAS OUT OF THE BOX AND BEFORE I CHARGED IT! It came with a 110 volt charger and a charging cord to plug into a USB port. I am definitely going to buy another one before frogging season next year! I will agree that it is big and a bit heavy, but that can be overlooked if you are looking for a bright light - it's not too uncomfortable. The battery pack is just behind the light. If the pack was behind the head and the light was in the front - it would be perfect! HINT, HINT!!!!!! IF you are looking for a light to see close objects, this light is not for you, but if you need to see objects farther away, this is the perfect light. My buddy went with us and had a flashlight and was showing me how bright it was, but when I showed him this light and turned it on, he put his up! His $100 light put out no where near the light this headlamp puts out. Pictures show the light beam on a water tower about 100 yards away, picture of shed is 20 yards, then you can see the light fitted on my head (profile). UPDATE 11-18-19 - the headlamp is still working on the original batteries. I use the light about 6-8 nights a year and has been flawless every time i have needed it.

Works perfect, charge last long, very bright as advertised but get very hot on the forehead after a few minutes of using and very heavy in comparison to other items within similar specs range.

Shocked to see bad reviews on this little light, and NO ONE is more critical of product than me. March 1st, I doing chores and have a habit of using a little metal police light and hold it in my mount if I've got my hands full. THAT night my hands were full of chicken as I was transferring them and my shoe caught on a nail in a board under the open door that prevents the chickens from coming out and I hit the ground like a sack of potatoes. It drove the light into my mouth, I'm looking at $6,600 worth of dental work, SURE wish I had had this little light at the time. I'll admit, it is a little heavy, but am hoping that's because of the battery which seems to work on bright for a long time. AND the light is like a light from a jet liner, truly a SPOT LIGHT. SO, sorry others had any problems with theirs, I DENT!.

It’s not as good of quality as I would like to buy. But I’ve purchased several kinds on Amazon.. This is the best I have found anywhere on Amazon for any price. It does better than the more expensive ones. It’s not too heavy, or two light. One complaint. I had to buy a sweat headband because it is so uncomfortable on my forehead. But, I’m buying two more of these headlamps. Because I think they are the very best head lamp on Amazon in a reasonable price range.

Its big and bulky but it is the brightest, toughest longest lasting light. It has lasted me a good 10 hours of hiking through winter nights being used continuously and never even started to dim. Since then it has been rolling around in my truck getting stepped on and kicked around. I ordered another thinking that this one would break, because I am hard on stuff. But it is still Rock Solid. As far as the size imagine having something somewhere between a huge coon hunting lamp and a hiking lamp on your head. If it is too big for you then check out the Waterproof 1600LM XM-L T6 LED Headlamp 2 X 18650 Rechargeable Batteries it is my second pick and my girlfriends first pick only because she doesnt like the bulk. I will note that it is a little too bright for caving, it tends to blind others in the pitchblack underworld.

Not what i expected it Too big on the head.

Slightly on the heavy side, but great light

Como cualquier otra linterna, mismo led que otras más baratas y muy grande y estorbosa. No cumple con la distancia ni iluminación que dice
