Blue Lighthouse Beacon

You cannot find a better deal on a headlamp! Well constructed, lite weight, & puts out a lot of light! If you want a basic great headlamp, this is it.

The product seemed to be aimed for the outdoor enthusiast. I use it for hobby and DIY projects. The biggest problems with most head lamps are brightness, area coverage and uniformity. I thought it might work well when I saw the big convex lens and hoped that it would be bright enough to help when needed. It exceeded my expectations. It is very bright! I am not sure about the 1000 lumens because the manufacture states that it takes 3 amps to reach that level. I don't know how long 4 AA batteries would last at that level of discharge but I don't think very long. But really forget about that it is very bright. I usually have to use it at the lower level because my work is close up and the light is actually too bright. However it can be really useful when you are trying to work on something when there is a strongly back lit. Then all this brightness works like no other I have seen. For coverage it throws a 1 foot diameter beam at a distance of only 1 foot. Suffice it to say that it lights up everything I need no matter how close. The third outstanding feature is its uniformity. The brightness level is the same across the entire diameter of the beam for great ergonomics while working of small items.To round the review I give it good marks on construction and design. The headband is strong enough to stay on under any circumstance, the lamp is made of aluminum, the wire from the batteries to the lamp is coiled so it stays out of the way. To adjust the light focus simply pull the lens out to reduce beam diameter. When lens is pulled out it throws the beam a good distance. For example I was able to light up a number pad very brightly on a wall from around 200 feet away. Lens can be adjusted down to accommodate most any situation.Small grips are: To operate just push a button switch on the lamp. It turns on bright then you must cycle through dimmed light and strobe to turn off. I don't need the strobe and I usually only need one light level so a separate on off button and selection switch would be nice, the lens is a little tough to pull out. However it would rather that than slip adjustment.

It's a headlamp that throws a lot of light. It's easy to wear and is good for outdoors and commercial work.

I bought a 2 pack of headlamps which were very inexpensive, only about 20 dollars for the pair. I do some hobby work and need spot lighting. They give ok light but it is over a wide area and one of the two died after only using it briefly. It didn't surprise me given cheap Chinese products/quality control. Not sure if they are covered by warranty but 10 dollars is not worth the effort of getting off the couch. So I looked for something more substantial. I decided on these. When getting flashlights/headlights I refuse to purchase anything that uses AAA batteries because they are garbage and anyone designing these thing should know that and anything without removable batteries. Non removable batteries will all eventually fail making your device useless. These use 3 standard AA batteries. I always have a set of charged AA so I can swap them out any time making battery life not really important. The light is focused and adjustable so that is a plus. So far so good on these. Stay tuned

Bright headlamp with comfort strap and 3 settings for progressive illumination.

I own several and bought some more as gifts. You can't beat it given the performance at this price point. I can spot targets easily at 100-200 ft away using the narrow spotlight beam. And after on-the-fly adjustment of the lens the wide swath illuminates the environment with ease. I also own a $100 Petzel headlamp that is 200+ lumens and this surpasses it by far and is under half the cost. More than double the lumens of the Petzel. The Petzel has some features this light doesn't have, but this ProGear headlamp isn't gimmicky either like other sellers lights on Amazon. That's why I bought more. Some for the ranch (coyotes), some for camping/road trips, and some for gifts. I've owned the first gen model that held 4 AA batteries without any problems as well as the newest model holding 3 AA batteries. The newest version works great! If I had to suggest any improvements it would be to the battery box lid - it can be troublesome to remove if you don't know what you're doing. But overall, it's a light saber on the head - it's powerful, it functions well, and WORKS 🙌!!! If you're looking for a light that is a butt kicker, this does the trick!💪🤘

Price is great can’t go wrong

I use a headlamp almost every morning when I go out to feed the animals and this light is by far the brightest, best built, easiest to use than the 5 others that I use. With the battery pack (3AA) at the back of the strap makes the headlamp balanced and comfortable. This is not a heavy light like my old SAR lights. I have used it for a week now so time will tell as far as durability. By the look of the strap, cord, light and battery pack it seems like this headlamp will outlast me.Update: After months of using it with no issues I ordered a second one. Again this second light surpasses my expectations. The product says 28 hours on low and it actually does that.
