Tools and Hardware Reviews of Streamlight 61052 Septor LED Headlamp with Strap
Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I found myself using this headlamp more often than not and I have to say that I am very satisfied. I don't have a handheld flashlight since I use this for almost everything. Very comfortable, it lights up very well (3 brightness settings) and at a great price. Oh and the batteries do last quite sometime.Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent product - nice illumination. I am a hard rock miner and sticking my head in dark tunnels the chin strap has really come in handy. Highly recommend buying. Fits over head or helmet.Customer Review: Great Product, best price on or off the web
Summary: 5 Stars
I have purchased this product several times from several places - things get stolen or broken in construction. The rubber strap works pretty well on hardhats (as designed) until 3-4 months later. Then it gets a little dirty on the 'softgrip' pad, and tends to fall off the hard hat.
I've never used the strap that comes (as a bonus to me) for use on the bare head.
The light lasts a LONG time on one LED usage, and on any setting is plenty bright with new to mid life batteries.
Customer Review: Great for attics, basements, camping
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very light and comfortable light to wear, and it's great for when you're climbing the ladder up into the attic. There's no lighting in our attic, and I went up to check the insulation. After a minute I bumped the shoplight I brought up against something and it died. Would have been pretty awkward getting out without this headlamp. It also has 3 brightness levels so you can conserve your batteries and avoid blinding people when camping.Customer Review: Great for people with impaired vision
Summary: 4 Stars
Often, people like me, who have impaired vision, need a little more light than the person with typical vision, to do the same job. I find that this little headlamp allows me to read, knit, file my nails, crochet and look for things in closets and drawers much more easily. I really like it and recommend it for other people who have visual impairments or those who just want a boost in lumens for a particular task.
One drawback is that getting the battery in and out is very difficult, as the battery lid/hatch is not designed well. If I could speak to the engineers who designed it I'd ask them to re-design this feature with a flexible rubbery cap that could easily be pried off and snapped back on. As an engineer myself, I do not see why this would not be an easy task, but may cost a few cents more. In my opinion, it would be worth it to the consumer to pay a few cents more for a more managable cap.
Even with this drawback, it is the best headlamp for common, daily tasks. I've purchased every single one, and tested them, and in my opinion, it's the best out out there.
