Foxelli LED Headlamp Flashlight for Adults & Kids, Running, Camping, Hiking Head Lamp with White & Red Light, Comfortable Headband, Lightweight & Waterproof, 3 AAA Batteries

I recently compared four LED headlamps across a range of prices, all rated very highly on Amazon. I'm using these for work around the house in dark places, so red or green lights, flashing options, etc are not particularly important to me. Mostly I'm just looking for a nice clean bright white light while running wires, or working in the ceiling, or even plugging things in behind a computer that you don't want to move.Headlamp 1, the "Shining Buddy" LED Headlamp, was $12.97, and had 4.8 stars from 2509 reviews. Physical quality seemed fine, but from the moment I turned it on, the "Shining Buddy" had a relatively dim LED, even on the highest settings, and it had a very blue tint (a very cool LED color). It was dim enough that I found it wanting for most tasks and the color made it unpleasant to use. I didn't use it for long.Headlamp 2, the Foxelli Headlamp at the same price ($12.97) also had good reviews - 4.7 stars from 1082 reviews. In contrast, the Foxelli was a rockstar!. It had a much brighter and had a very clean, white light. It compared favorably to the two other lamps I reviewed which were 2x and 3x the price. It has dimmable lights, flashing lights, and red color as most do. The only nitpick is that one must cycle through all settings to turn off. The last setting, before turning off, is a VERY bright flashing setting. Wow. Mezmerizing! But annoying to have to cycle through each time. This would be my choice for a go-to work light in the future. Great price, clear white light, nice quality.Headlamp 3, the Black Diamond Spot Headlamp, was $25.99, and 4.6 stars from 352 reviews. It's an excellent performer and seems to be very high quality. It's a bight brighter than the Foxelli, and has a somwhat more uniform light. It also has a moderately bright but very wide uniform light setting. This is a really nice feature that I didn't have on an old Black Diamond light and I like it. Although I mostly use the bright spot setting, I could see it being useful in a close up place, or for finding things in the dark as it really illuminates gently but all around. It seems to have a nice closure mechanism (a bit nicer than the Foxelli) which seems durable. The Tap-For-Extra-Bright option is really cool too. There are more settings (red, flashing, etc) and the method for getting to them is a bit complicated, but it means that you can (more or less) get tot the setting you want and keep it there without a lot of cycling through unwanted settings. Great lamp, and definitely nicer than the Foxelli, but for work the Foxelli is good enough and half the price, so buy two and still have one when you can't find the other. If you're camping, or hiking, the Black Diamond Spot might be more up your alley and it is still a good bargain.Headlamp 4 was the Black Diamond Storm Headlamp, at $31.93, with 4.5 stars from 186 reviews. This is really a premium headlamp. Fit and finish was similar to the BD Spot, but with a much better cam lock closure and superior gasket sealing for the battery compartment. This lamp is even brighter than the bright BD Storm, which was even brighter than the Foxelli. And then you could use Power Tap and it was really really bright. It also has the wide angle, gentle uniform light setting which I liked so much on the BD Spot. Add green to the red and flashing options, and you get a very complicated control system (all from one button) but with a nice guide and quick reference card to rescue you. This is really the nicest headlamp of the four, but only a bit nicer than the BD Spot at a bit of a premium. This light uses 4 batteries, which is nice because what do you always do with that other one from your charger anyway?All in all, three of these lights were awesome. All come with batteries, but I use Eneloop rechargables in my headlamps because they go through batteries pretty quickly when you have them on bright all of the time. I'd buy the Foxelli again in a heartbeat. For my purposes, the BD Spot is also a great light, with the higher quality and wide angle setting worth the extra. It turns out that I didn't really need the extra features of the BD Storm. A camper or hiker might find them invaluable though!

I wanted one that had replaceable batteries. Tried this one. Perfect for my needs. Not heavy. Band is comfortable. Light intensity and angle of light are adjustable. Great price.

I ordered the 2-pack bundle, but they came separately a week apart. On the first one, you have to cycle through all the white and red lights to turn them off, and on the second one, you can choose to cycle through either the white or red lights by holding down the button for a second. I prefer the second option, but I don't see any choice in the description, so who knows which version you will get when ordering. I'm guessing the second one is a newer version. Either version is better than another brand model which had 2 buttons and actually took longer to find the light I wanted than using one button to cycle through all the lights on this set. I also like the contrasting color of the latch to open the battery compartment; it is easy to see and open. The band is sturdy and adjustable.I've replaced all the standard flashlights I keep in every room with these light-weight, hands-free head lamps. They are great for power outages, sorting out all those cords under the desk, and trekking out to my mailbox after dark. They have lasted years, but not forever, so when my older headlamps bite the dust (or I have more rooms), I will definitely be back for a couple more of these lights.

I bought three of these for Christmas gifts for men who are hard to shop for. I did try each one out and they seem to be working fine. The light seems bright enough, lightweight, and comfortable, so hopefully they will help them with making repairs on things when extra light is needed. I cannot comment of night vision nor battery life. I would buy these again.

I bought this to replace an old Princeton Tec headlamp. So far it works great and at a low price. The red lights are a little dim but I don’t plan on using this feature much. The white lights are real bright and we will see how the battery life is.

I ordered 2 of these one for me when I work in poorly lit areas. And my wife uses it for evening and early morning runs. So far we can’t tell the difference between these and pricier versions of the same thing.

The light is very bright and the swivel feature is perfect for doing fine detail work. And it's comfortable to wear. I wish I this was available twenty years ago!

This is a wonderful light that I keep in various rooms of my house in case the power goes out. It allows you to walk around with your hands free and gives off plenty of light. It's also great when I'm cleaning my pellet stove because the stove is low with poor lighting around it. This is a really useful product and also makes a unique and useful gift!

Functional headlamp excellent buy

Good for reading a book at night which is what i bought it for. But also for future holidays when no light is available for safety walking in the dark.

L'intensité lumineuse est correcte, la qualité de fabrication et la solidité de l'ensemble sont bonnes, la bande élastique est ajustable, cette unité est livrée avec trois (3) piles AA classiques qu'on peut remplacer par des rechargeables... À ce prix, c'est convenable, je recommande cette lampe frontale sans soucis !

Perfekt fürs Gassie im Dunkeln.Leicht, Gummi gut zu verstellen und Batterien halten wirklich lange durch
