Tools and Hardware Reviews of 'Flood Light' Head Lamp: 9 LED NINE Super-Bright LED
Customer Review: It's ok
Summary: 3 Stars
Not the best light ever but does the work, if you are looking for something cheap, small and you don't need a lot of precision, this is a good option.
It works just fine if you need some light in an uncomfortable place of if you're in a dark place and you just need a little bit of light to walk.
For me it's fine, works for what I need
Customer Review: Lots of light but too flimsy
Summary: 2 Stars
I'm a technologist, and spend time under desks, inside equipment cabinets, and up in ceilings. A good hands-free light is a great tool to have.
The light itself is very good. Despite only using three AAA cells, the brightest setting provided a lot of light. The small battery also meant it was small and lightweight. The headband, with a loop around and a loop over, was pretty good.
It has three brightness settings, plus a flashing setting, plus "Off". That is all controlled by a single push-button, which cycles through the settings. I found this more annoying than anything else -- I'd rather a simple on/off. I always went for the brightest setting. I think this is more of a gimmick than anything else.
More seriously, it suffers from from cheap construction. Thin plastic. A piece of cosmetic trim broke off almost right away. The lens over the light tended to get loose and fall off easily. And the plastic clips holding the band off broke off after a few months, turning it into a hand-held flashlight.
If it was a more durable design, this would be a great product. As is, it's just not strong enough for real-world use.
Customer Review: Maybe dangerous to your 2 Stars
I bought this lamp to do crafts sewing,knitting etc without sitting under a full size lamp, it gave good light with 9 led bulbs, but the dangerous part is the strong smell of formaldehyde,moth balls,gasoline or some such chemical that gave me a headache and made my eyes sting! washed the straps and outer casing, stuck it in a box with baking soda even, the odor will not go away. Could smell it throughout the house, so threw it out because it may be dangerous to inhale those fumes. Maybe try another brand, because they are useful for all sorts of projects.Customer Review: Not very much light output
Summary: 2 Stars
This LED headlamp's description states, "super bright" - - it's not. Super bright where? A dark closet? It's very dim and close to being better than nothing. It's of no use outdoors if you want to see anything beyond the end of your arm. The Dorcy 145 lumen headlamp puts this to shame. I wouldn't give this to anybody.Customer Review: Pretty good light drains batteries fast
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a pretty good light: It's a little bulky, but relatively comfortable; it offers three brightness settings plus one flashing setting; you can also adjust the vertical aim, which should be standard on such lights but isn't. I wish it were more sleek, but my only real problem is that this sucker really drains batteries fast. Three AAA batteries lasted about 10 hours, maybe only 60 minutes on the highest setting and never on "flash." I would recommend the headlight only for the user who has rechargeable batteries.
