Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Amazon.com Product Description

This ultralight, ultracompact, ultracute little LED lamp weighs less than a golf ball and fits in the palm of your hand. Even better, its versatility allows users to attach it to an ankle, wrist, bicep, or most any other body part--including the head, of course. It comes with a retractable Dyneema cord for bodily attachment and operates on three AAA batteries. Backpackers will love it because it fits snugly into nearly any compartment and weighs next to nothing. Even people whose idea of the great outdoors extends no further than the grocery store down the street will like it for evening strolls, as it fits easily into a pants pocket. It is water-resistant, but even if it gets completely soaked, it shouldn't short out. Just open it up and dry it out.

Doesn't work at the crucial time - Reviewed on 2007-02-03

I run outside during the winter when it's mostly dark when I get home from work. When this little light works, it's great. But shortly into the run, it starts flickering and sometimes goes completely out for a few seconds. Seeing as how it's new and it has new batteries, I am disappointed.

This is a nice little light. My main reason for the purchase was for a night reading light but I have found it much more useful. It is a clever design and it is comfortable and easy to carry around.

The switch broke the second time I used it. The workmanship just isn't there. Don't waste your time.

It's great for reading in a tent and pitching a tent in the dark but it does flicker on and off and does not seem bright enought for hiking out in the dark. It seemed brighter when I first got it, but now it seems to eat batteries and it not bright enough for night hiking.

The cord gets tangled in my long hair and the pad on the back of the lamp fell off.

I've used this little head lamp for camping and hunting and love the light output, how comfortable it is to wear and the fact that I've only changed the batteries once. Some have said it is not waterproof... I've worn for hours in light rain and snow and have never experienced any problems. For the price it's an excellent headlamp.
