General Comment
This is a very bright little lamp and, at only around 40g, its not heavy either. It has a battery that can last up to 20 hours on low-power flood mode. I’ve had mine for about four months now, and, through the winter I’ve never needed to recharge any of them – very impressive given the cold and the heavy use. I bought these lights to use while I found a good replacement to my previous ones. I’ve had them for a few months now and I certainly won’t be replacing them until they break, because they are pretty excellent.
Included
The box includes:
- Torch itself
- Headband
- Micro USB charging wire
- Instructions
- Service card
Quality
The lamp seems to me to be very rugged and well made: it is IPX4 splash-proof so rain won’t cause it any issues. The strap supplied seems a tad cheap (unsurprising given the whole thing costs less than a tenner), but it has caused me no issues and is easily replaced if it does break. There really isn’t a huge amount more to say about this torch – it just works.
