Zoomable 8000 Lumen Headlight Review
8000 Lumens out of an LED that maxes out at 1000? While it’s important to dream, these kinds of listings are why straight-from-China products have such a bad reputation. This headlamp is essentially the same as the (also unrealistically marketed) 5000 Lumen headlamp, except it uses a zoomable housing. I found all the zoomable housings…

1200LM Super Bright Headlight R3 Review
1200 Lumens from a headlamp that uses AAA batteries in series? Good luck with that. The product page itself claims a more reasonable 300 lumens.

Skywolfeye 1000 Lumen CREE XM-L Q5 LED Headlamp Review
So, this might be a Skywolfeye, or a BesSky, or not branded at all, who really knows. Even with all the oddly designed Chinese headlamps I reviewed, this was the weirdest and the worst. The plastic used to retain the headband to the headlamp bent and broke easily, the lamp swivel lock was odd and…

NiteCore HC60 Review
It’s really not fair to lump in a $60 headlamp with a bunch of $7 ones, but I thought it’d be interesting to review a headlamp that uses a very different design. It also comes with a $30 18650 battery, so it’s practically a $30 headlamp. The NiteCore HC60 uses a single 18650 battery horizontally…
