5.0 out of 5 stars Light from the heavens, August 4, 2008

By	Monte C. Overton "GasKitten" (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Comfortable, rechargeable with sunlight, it even has a setting to turn on automatically with darkness. Overkill? Maybe. but the bottom line is never skimp on light. The light is great for outdoor and everyday use, not the brightest headlamp out there but well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solar Headlamp Charges My Cell Phone, January 21, 2008

By	D. G. Jones (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This solar-powered LED Headlamp is pretty cool. Just a few minutes in sunlight and the LED come on right away, even if the battery is totally exhausted when you start. The really cool thing was charging my cell phone using their 12V converter plugged into the headlamp and simply plugging my car charger into the converter. Ths green product is a must for anyone who might not want to mess with changing batteries.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing performance, March 13, 2009

By	B. Lipski (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was excited to receive this product, as it seemed to have good reviews.

I've had it about a month now and am not that thrilled with it. The headlamp is not that strong, which is okay ifyou are using it only for close things. However, when using it while backpacking and walking around the campsite, there was little to no useful light after about 15-20 feet.

Secondly, the charge seems to die real quick. I charged it fully one day, and several days later, after not having charged it at all, nor having used it at all, the battery held absolutely no charge. The light wouldn't even turn on. Maybe these kinds of batteries are different than regular rechargeables, but I've never had a rechargeable AA battery lose its complete charge in only a matter of days.

I wish I had returned this. For my purposes, backpacking/hiking/camping, a regular good quality headlamp with one time use batteries should provide enough light for the duration of the trip before I need to change them. And in the chance that my trip is a long one, like a week, carrying a second set of small batteries will weigh hardly any more.
