3.0 out of 5 stars OK, but has some drawbacks, November 10, 2007

This review is from: Energizer 6 LED Headlight With Bright Lights (Sports)

This provides plenty of light, but there are some drawbacks.

Drawback #1: This thing has four modes: White Spotlight, White Floodlight, White Spot plus Flood, Red, and OFF. The selection is made by pressing one switch over and over. This is a pain, especially since the switch is small and rather stiff. With gloves on it's almost impossible. It also means that to get to the night vision friendly RED you've got to step through 3 WHITE settings.

Drawback #2: The LED's are not recessed and don't have reflectors to direct the light forward. I wear glasses and the stray light hits my glasses and makes it almost impossible to see. I later "fixed" this by painting the lower portion of the assembly with black car touch-up paint. This greatly reduced the stray light problem.

Before I purchased the 6 LED model I had the 3 LED model. Other than not beeing as bright, it is a better design because it has a 3 position slider switch...center OFF, left RED, right WHITE. So, if you want RED, you go straight to RED. Also, the LED's are recessed a bit and don't throw nearly as much light into my face as this 6 LED model did.

Note that I just saw a new Energizer head lamp that seems to fix the stray light problem. It has a high power LED with reflector for the spot light, the but the unit is rather bulky. Unfortunately, it looks to have the same crappy push-button switch design as this one.

As of the date of this review, the picture is that of the 3 LED lamp. I advised Amazon of the error but they said it was fine as is. Whatever.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great headlight but awkward switch, October 27, 2006

This review is from: Energizer 6 LED Headlight With Bright Lights (Sports)

I love having one headlight that can do red and white light, and both a narrow and wide beam in white, and all of the settings are bright enough for me. Howevever, to move between the different settings you have to repeatedly click on a push switch which is very stiff. What would be ideal for me would be a slider switch that you move back and forth between the different settings, or four separate push switches.

My only other complaint is that the light can shine in your eyes if you wear it too low on your forehead.

As someone else noted, the pictured item is another headlight from Energizer, not the 6-led version.

This review is from: Energizer 6 LED Headlight With Bright Lights (Sports)

This is one of the simplest and yet most effective LED headlights out there. The multiple lighting options gives you a wide variety of choices for any situation that requires a little or a lot of light. I love mine for hiking, biking, and even work.
This model was difficult to find last year. I'm very happy that Energizer decided to reintroduce the product.
I do have a bit of a beef with this product listing on Amazon. The site shows a very bogus "List" price of $74.61 but they'll discount it 70% or $52.55 to a price of $22.06. Give me a break! On what planet would this list for $74.61? I know this is Amazon's site but you can pick this light up at any discount store, like Target, for $14.99!
Energizer also has a 3 LED version and another version with a 1 watt LED spot.
All are great products.
Another note to the Amazon Webmaster: You might want to double check that you have the correct picture associated with the described product. You picture the 3 LED light and describe the 6. I'm a very active Amazon Prime customer so I think I have earned the right to say who ever edited this product site really screwed the pooch.
Update: I will give Amazon some credit for actually reading reviews. Less than 24 hours after my review they adjusted the "list" price from $74.61 to a still too high but more realistic $24.95 "discounted" 12% or 2.89 for a price of $22.06. This is still $7 higher than the average discount store (more when you factor in shipping). Now, they just need to correct the picture to the product description.
