There have been some complaints about the clips for this light snapping off. I think I know why. The light is designed for a ball cap whose bill is only slightly curved--take a look at the product picture. Most ball caps these days have a more pronounced rounding to bill than this light is designed for. If you try to force the light onto that type of cap, you are certainly going to snap its clips.I dug out an old ball cap with a relatively flat brim that I am dedicating to this light.

This light puts out about as much light as an average headlight (the kind you wear, not an automobile headlight). I'm planning on using mine for camping. It uses two flat, quarter-size batteries (CR 2032), so don't expect long life from a set of batteries, and don't use it as your emergency light when hiking.

Within those limitations, this is really a great little gadget.

This item is great to have. As a matter of fact I bought several to give to friends who do odd work around the home. Keeps your hnds free to work. You get a lot of strange looks when you wear the light in a public place. The big drawback to the lights are the two little plastic pieces that attaches to the bill of your cap. They are made of cheap plastic and break FREQUENTLY. The light is pretty good, always could be brighter, for the money. I would buy this item again.

If they would beef up the clips a little more I would give them 5 stars. Some caps with thick bills will take the mounting clips to their limit. Be careful putting on and pulling off. The switch on the bottom is located much better than previous models with small switch on side.

My husband got one of these as a stocking stuffer; it's brighter than we thought and it's made better than those previously sold. The clips that go onto the cap are now made of a metal; not plastic. Should work well.

I bought this for my Dad as a present. He uses it for night fishing. He loves it because he use different caps all the time. He said it's very bright and frees his hands for casting and handling fish. Also, I have to mention that the shipping was excellent!

This was the hit of Christmas Eve. I gave one to my brother and husband and everyone one wanted one. It projects light way out in front of you and is a must have for power outages and walking in the evening. Great product. I am ordering several more.

I found this light to be one of the best buys I have made in a long time. It is very easy to use, it always shines where you are looking and has a bright enough light to see for a long way. It is lite and compact and is not prone to moving around like other clip on lights. This is a must for anyone who goes out at night.

I had the light a little over a month and now it is basically worthless. Both of the plastic clips have broken. It was a great light until it fell apart. The first clip broke about a week after I bought it. I thought the first clip breaking was possibly my fault but a realized it wasn't after the second one snapped about a month later of minimal use. If you want a light that last longer than a month, look elsewhere. You do get what you pay for!!

I liked this little gadget, and the price was right. However, if you use it for regular tasks, it will cost you. The little flat batteries do not last that long and are expensive. You are better off buying a real headlamp for $30 that uses AAAs and has a lifetime of 50-100 hours.

Nice cap light, very useful, though their 3 LED model is brighter, though more than twice as expensive as well. IMO, the 3 LED model is the better deal nonetheless.
