If you buy a complete Optivisor kit, as I did, with this light kit and the accessory loupe lens, there is a minor difficulty you have to watch out for when you install everything. Do not fully install the light kit with the one-way push pins until you attach the accessory lens. The screw shaft that comes on the lens is not long enough to pass through and accommodate the thickness of the LED bezel. The Quasar light kit comes with a longer screw and you have to disassemble the lens assembly, with its spring and tension nut, in order to install the longer screw. The screw on the lens replaces one of the four plastic push pins and be sure to adjust the spring tension nut first for proper pivoting friction, before you install and tighten the nut on the inside of the visor. If you've got it right, the lens easily pivots in or out of your line of vision and stays in place without being jammed up.
I was a little put off by negative comments from other reviewers about this light kit's battery pack being too heavy for and weighing down the visor. I'm glad I ignored them because I did not find it objectionable at all. Even my petite girlfriend, who uses the Optivisor for z scale model work, did not find the weight objectionable at all. I followed the instructions that came with the kit, not bothering to extend the electrical wires, and was quite satisfied. If you have any soldering skills at all, it's quite easy to splice in an extra length of small speaker wire, should you ever desire to move the battery pack to the rear clamp band and not on the pivoting visor frame. Try it as is, I think you will like it.

It really makes it easier on the eyes to see. I'll be modifying the power source by eliminating the batteries and connecting the wire leads to a remote DC power driver mounted on my workstation.
Pros:
* Easy to attach. Everything fits perfectly and goes together easily. All parts included.
* Weight is negligible on the visor or on your head. I had no problem with visor holding position up or down. The battery is back near the pivot point so it doesn't put any effective force on visor position. I can't feel the difference in weight on my head.
* Light is even and shadowless. Works excellent on dull (i.e., non-shiny) surfaces.
* Very bright light at 6-8" on fresh batteries.
Cons:
* Since the LEDs are point-sources of light they show up as lots of bright reflections in shiny surfaces, such as SMDs and PCBs. You can tilt the surfaces to reduce glare. For shiny surfaces, flat lighting (like tube florescent bulbs with diffusers) are definitely easier to see with.
Other Notes:
* Battery cover just slides open, you don't have to pry on anything (this wasn't obvious when I first looked at it.) Odd that there's nothing about how to work the cover in the instructions. They provide a tiny screw to keep the case closed but I'm not sure you need it.
* There was a #6 1.25" screw in the kit that has no obvious purpose. At least nothing I could figure out.
* I would call these a cool white color, perhaps 9000K
* I used some electrical tape to hold the battery wires against the visor so they wouldn't snag and pull out of the case; others have complained about issues with electrical connections. The product photo shows the wires laying flush to the visor but mine certainly didn't.
For the next generation:
- Use 18650 rechargeable battery.
- Lengthen wires so battery box can be mounted on the back of the head strap
- Use super flexible jacketed wire
I'm in the process of doing these to mine now.
- On-shore to American manufacturing! This really matters to many of us.
- Find a better assembler. Two corners of my LED panel were not properly seated leaving gaps that looked really cheesy for the price. Had to chip out the existing glue and re-do.
- Increase max light output and add hi/low switch. Existing LED's are perfect for lower output, but a brighter option would be great
