Bright, Comfortable and Effective Eechargeable CREE LED Headtorch

As a regular user of CREE LED torches and head torches which I use daily (or nightly), I was delighted to be offered the opportunity to review this prooduct, honest and unbiased review.

Highly Adjustable

The torch feels chunky and substantial with its sturdy plastic construction and the highly adjustable, quality elastic headband fits well and is comfortable to wear.

Rotated Freely

• The torch can be tilted downwards to illuminate the pathway or road ahead which is useful on rough ground or for cycling or it can or shine directly ahead

Many Modes

The light has three white floodlight modes via a central CREE chip: full power (120 lumen), medium (50 lumen) and low at 4 lumens. I live on a dark, unlit lane and use the lamp on full power at night and find it very effective.

The 4 lumen light is low and more suited to improving your own visibility and being seen rather than for finding your way in the dark. In addition there are two white side light SMD-LED modes -on and strobe plus a red night vision mode

Switching by One Button

Switching between modes requires a knack: From switching it on to illuminate the bright central floodlight, the top button must be pressed and held for 3 seconds to access the medium and low modes. The next mode activates the two white LED side lights.

Next, after switching it off, it the power button is held for 3 seconds, then this activates the red 'night vision' mode. It sounds complicated and it takes a while to memorise, but it does work. A series of illustrations are supplied but it's easier to work out the sequence via trial and error.

This is a good product, well designed, practical and functional.
