I've owned an H7 for over a year now. Quite pleased with it. There are brighter LED headlamps available, but it's throw is quite impressive and I think you'll find it's run time is unparalleled among it's 3xAAA peers, allowing it to be bright but light(weight). Gives a nice, clean white light. The strap is comfortable, and very adjustable. The Lamp head has a 4-stage, 90 degree vertical swivel transition that allows light to be directed up and forwards, straight ahead, in-front and down, or straight down. The dimmer switch comes in handy- you can dim it down if you need to read something up close or look at something you're holding. And the beam is focusable - goes from a nice, fairly broad circle (flood) to a spot that looks like a square with rounded corners. Again, the light is white, which allows for very easy color recognition. For normal operations, to turn it on, adjust the swivel angle and/or the beam focus only one hand is needed. All those controls are on the head which rests on your forehead. The dimmer switch/AAA battery pack rests on the back of the head and is light and easy to adjust. The H7 also comes with a nice, small pouch that it just fits inside. The pouch is made of wet-suit-type material (nice and strong and soft) and opens/closes with a single velcro tab. I'd give this product a solid 4 stars out of 5.

I was searching for a brighter LED headlamp for hunting use. I hate not being able to see well when making my way to my deer stand in the mornings, or when finding my way out in the evenings. I have tried several other brands and styles of headlamps, then I found this. My GOD Is this thing bright! Battery life is great, although I do wish that it used AA instead of AAA batteries. The adjustable spot to flood is a great feature. I found that a setting inbetween the 2 was the best for my usage. The dimmer is a nice touch as well, although one I won't use much. For the money this light is going to be hard to beat. There are brighter ones out there for 4x the price...give this one a shot. You won't regret it.

This headlamp has the most powerful beam I've encountered. With a variable intensity beam that can be easily changed from spot to wide angle this headlamp is the best I've owned and well worth the cost.
