What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the headlamp's exceptional brightness and wide-area illumination without harsh shadows, lightweight comfortable design, and rechargeable USB convenience. Many highlight its superior beam pattern for workspace tasks and appreciate the detachable light feature. However, a significant portion report serious battery concerns: devices lasting only three to four hours on low or thirty minutes on high, with sudden power cutoffs and no low-battery warning. Several note the lamp cannot operate while charging and becomes unchargeable after short use. Despite these drawbacks, most customers find the brightness and comfort outweigh the battery limitations.

Would RecommendThis headlamp is excellent. It is comfortable to wear, has crazy illumination, and lasts a long time. My husband used it underneath the house and he said it worked exceptionally well. He loved the hands-free operation (as opposed to holding a flashlight) and how bright it lights everything. It has three modes and cycles through super bright, bright (sufficient for all we've used it for so far), blinking, and then off. It has a nice feature (since only one button controls it) that if you press pr...
It’s like wearing a car headlight on your head
Would RecommendI’ve been needing a new head light, so I jumped at the chance to review this one. It provides a wide field of very bright light. It is comfortable to wear. The switch is a little bit tricky to find. There are three settings-high, low and strobe.
Stays put, puts out a ton of light
Would RecommendEveryone should have a headlamp in their bag of tools. The Kobalt 400-Lumen LED Rechargeable Headlamp is a great choice. It is really comfortable. Instead of having the bulb and battery in a large weight on the front of your head like the older headlamps I have used, this one has a strip of LEDs on the front and the battery pack on the back. So it stays put and doesn’t feel awkward when I move my head around. It also puts out a ton of light, which is the most important part. Definitely glad I go...
GOOD BRIGHT LIGHT
Would RecommendThis head lamp is very comfortable to wear, has excellent bright lighting as needed and easy to charge. Very good quality light. My wife took charge of this light as the one I usually wear is too heavy and bulky for her. She loves this one.
Best Headlamp EVER
Would RecommendI've bought my wife several headlamps and she's ended up not using any of them. When I got this one she was reluctant to try another one. After going around the new house we're building, I convinced her to at least try this one. SHE LOVES IT. It's comfortable. The batteries are light and mounted in the back instead of the front like many others. It is SUPER bright. I went around parts of the new house at night, in the dark, and took some pictures to show how well it lights...
Super Bright
Would RecommendThis head lamp is super nice. It has led lights with a bright and less bright function, along with a flashing function. We have a plumbing business and have to be under homes in small crawl spaces. This is one of the better head lamps we have used. It’s also great for hands free working. Adjustable and also has a USB cord for recharging. I had a video but unable to load it. We definitely will be adding more of these to our equipment.
Low profile for close-up work, but awful glare
Would Not RecommendThe good first, this is incredibly low-profile if you are working on something in close spaces, and it provides a very wide angle of light in ALL directions. The rechargeable function is awesome to not have to deal with batteries. It has some significant downsides though. The LEDs have no optics at all, so the light from each LED shines in all directions. This includes down, against my glasses, causing terrible glare. If you wear it with a hat you can avoid this glare, but then you will have sha...
VERY BRIGHT and EASY To Use!!
Would RecommendThis LED Rechargeable Headlamp is very bright and simple to use. It gives off 400 Lumens and you get a wide visual illumination range of 220 degrees. It is water resistant, impact resistant up to 3 meters and comes with a 700mAh rechargeable Li-ion battery and a USB Type-C cable. It does not come with a charger, but my phone charger worked just fine. Would highly recommend this product.
Excellent...
Would Recommend...very practical, and useful head lamp. This is a 400 lumen, well made Li-ion head lamp. It can be recharged from your phone, or auto USB charger (USB cable included). There are three functions, high, low, and flash. It puts out a very wide angle of very bright light (220 degree). From my pictures you can see the head lamp puts out enough light for the camera to easily pick up color in complete darkness. This head lamp is light weight, and comfortable to wear. Very practical for situations whe...
Great Addition to Toolbox!
Would RecommendThis is a great addition to any toolbox or anyone needing to have extra light while having both hands free. I really like that the battery is rechargeable and comes with a standard USB to USB-C cable. It charges using the USB-C and seems to charge up quickly. The lamp itself has two different brightness and the option to flash, I guess for if you are out walking or running at night. The headband is pretty comfortable but a bit on the heavy side with the battery pack and can get to be a bit much...
An area light for your head
Would Recommend9.5 out of 10 This LED strip, rechargeable headlamp is outstanding at illuminating the whole area around you. I have not used another headlamp with such wide coverage. It is amazing. It illuminates the front and sides of a large area. It also puts the light in a great alignment for your eyes. Fit your head into a spot and see all around. Note: It’s not a great choice if you need to talk with someone, it is so bright that you will blind them (even on the low brightness setting.) It is ...
400 Lumens Head Lamp
Would RecommendThis light is amazing. It lights up the work area with a wide light and great brightness. Used it to check my oil at night and to look for my water hose in my building. This head light is better than any others I have tried .
Bright and Lightweight
Would RecommendExcellent light with plenty of power to get the job done. The on/off switch is located where the battery charger is, and is easy to find by touch. A big bonus is the USB charging capability, so no need to remember batteries.
Wide Angle but bulky
Would Not RecommendLightweight, but bulky. The battery pack is light, but is part of the buckle and can't be moved or replaced. It is a sealed unit and the rechargeable batteries can't be replaced. It does use a type C USB connection, so I can use my phone charger. It is a bit of a pain to adjust the head strap but fits ok once done. It arrived loose for my head. It does provide a wide angle of light at 400 lumens with a bright, dim and flasher mode.
Very Bright
Would RecommendCharged it up and tried it out it is a very bright light on high the second setting was strong enough for me to see very good. The adjustable headband is very comfortable and it is very lite can hardly tell it was on my head. I had it on low setting for over 30 minutes and it still was bright enough. It’s a great light for the money I think I’ll keep it in the house and buy another one to keep in the car for an emergency. The usb cable included makes it easy to charge at home and in your car.
Great light
Would RecommendThis headlight is amazing. It's very soft, flexible and lightweight. It has 3 settings. High, low and flashing. Has a rechargeable battery pack. It does come with the recharging cord. Its made really well. By the feel im sure its pretty durable and will last for many years to come. I hadn't even fully charged it in the pictures im about to post. They don't do it justice. You can't go wrong having this on hand. Not only handy for working in those dark spaces but could be use in a black out or gre...
Wow it’s BRIGHT
Would RecommendI use a headlamp all the time but I’ve had none as bright as this one is. It is very comfortable to wear easy to power on and off and the brightness is second to none, Easy to charge
Love It!!!
Would RecommendI have to say I really enjoy the design of this the other had lamp that I have the light protrudes from the front and pivots on a hinge which is okay but it moves around a lot, this headlamp straps around and runs along the curvature of your forehead with the rechargeable battery pack on the back, I like this design it keeps the bulkiness behind me. The light is super bright it illuminates everything to the side to the front not so much out like a flashlight in a straight beam, but just lights u...
Rechargeable Battery Included uses USB C
Would RecommendKobalt LED Headlamp Pros Ready to use. Do charge before first use. Took about an hour or so to charge from where it was when opened. USB A to USB C cable included. Rechargeable Battery included. The elastic band is easy to adjust. Very comfortable. Does fit over a baseball cap. Can be slid down to be worn as a neck light. Press the on button: First click = High beam. Second click = low beam. Third click = high beam flashing. Fourth click = off. In order to access ...
Awesome
Would RecommendThis is an excellent head lamp. Extremely bright. It lit up my pitch dark hall bathroom. Much more comfortable than the ones that have a light that sticks out on the front and ends up falling in your face. This is so bright it needs no adjustment to see anything. The charger port is also great, you don’t need to change a battery, just charge it up.
