sofirn SP40 Rechargeable Headlamp 1200 Lumen, Powerful 5500K LED Flashlight, Right Angle Headlight for Repairing Running Camping Hiking

I carry this nearly everywhere I go as part of a compact tool kit. The kit consists of a Leatherman Charge + , a Nite Ize Nylon Cargo Case , a Leatherman Bit Kit , a Leatherman Bit Extender and a custom 3D printed holder that keeps the Leatherman from tearing up the anodizing on the flashlight. The flashlight has a rechargeable battery and the charger is built-in so the battery doesn't have to be removed to recharge. The power source for the internal charger is a micro USB so it's easy to find a power source for the charger. The cable is included but a USB charger is not. There is a click switch on the top of the light that is used to turn the light on/off and to access the different brightness levels. Pressing the switch once turns the light on, pressing again turns it off. Press and hold cycles through the four lower brightness levels. A double press activates maximum brightness. The light comes out perpendicular to the axis which I wasn't sure about initially, but it's actually better in most circumstances where I need light. I can turn it on and stand it on the end, then point it at what I need illuminated. It also comes with a headband so it can be used as a headlamp as well although I don't typically use it in that way. There is an o-ring on the cap and a rubber cover over the switch, so it's at least water resistant. I haven't dropped it in any water so I haven't tested how water resistant it is. I'm sure it would survive at least a quick immersion, and might be fine after an extended period of time underwater.

Great light, but it is a bit heavier than anticipated (although the product listing has accurate info). First putting it on my head felt bulky, but the pad & headband make that a non-issue. It can get VERY bright, and has lots of battery to support long-term use. Having a replaceable 18650 makes this a light I expect to use for a LONG time!

Let me start by saying I’m a busy guy and I work long hours which means by the time I get home with the company car it’s often dark. I also really like beer. (No I haven’t been drinking any.) Unfortunately the headlamps on my full sized pickup don’t work because the wiring is bad so I can’t drive to the liquor store to get said beer in the dark and I get terribly thirsty. Then I found this light. It’s intensity on turbo was compared to auto headlamps by some reviewers. Check. (Duh... It IS a headlamp after all isn’t it?) 90 degree angled lens. Check. Magnetic base. Check. Rechargeable for multiple beer runs without replacing batteries. Check. Water resistant. Check. I had clearly found the solution to all of my problems! So I got myself two of these little gems. They arrived promptly. Build quality was good. The magnet in the base is strong. I threw away the headbands and charged them up. Once fully charged, I used the magnet to stick one on each side of my hood directly above the vehicle’s headlamps and pointed them forward. The angle of the hood put them in a natural high beam position. PERFECT. Off to the store. Cons: They are not as bright as normal automobile headlamps. (I know... disappointing right?) I was only able to drive about 30 mph without out driving the throw of the beams. Pros: The lights are rugged. The color of the beam is pleasing to my eye. Once I got to the store I was able to pull one of the lights off the hood and use it to light up my path into the store. (You CANNOT do that with your regular truck headlamp.) I got my beer, made it home safely, and I expect them to last me for years. All joking aside, this is a pretty good little headlamp that I am sure you will be happy with. Buy it and see the light.

I love this headlamp, I am often working after sunset during fall and winter and where I work folks don't like to have any lights on outside their house. This headlamp is way better than the AAA powered headlamps I've had before, easy to recharge, and I always have spare 18650 batteries on me so if it ever does die on me I'm still good to go. The only complaint I can make, which is slight, is the head band is a little tight on my melon head.

Absolutely amazing headlamp. I use it for caving and it has survived everything—slammed against rocks, pressure washed, fully submerged in freezing water. Battery life is solid, waterproofing is excellent. Total beast of a light.

Purchased this product over a year ago hoping to get a tougher more durable headlamp. Within a few weeks of buying it stopped charging for no apparent reason. This was resolved after Sofirn support told me to remove the battery ( hard reset ). I work in a lot of cramped spaces and initially the lamp was often too bright and there was no way to throttle the brightness down. Now after approximately 300 hours of use the LED has gotten significantly dimmer would guess it now emits 200 lumens. I still use it but more lumens would be better. Also I have always found the offset lamp hard to use because if you change from looking far to near work the aim needs adjustment. AS a professional user and a caver I would not buy it again.

Muy buena calidad

I love that it's easy to recharge. It stays on my head nicely, and the light is great
