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 Not RecommendThe light itself is okay, although not good for people with glasses (prescription or safety) as those just fill with glare. The main problem, though, is how it handles "low battery" (which is literally after less than an hour of use, even when brand new!) Instead of dimming or giving a warning sound or even a warning light, the headlamp just ... turns off. Last week I worked with a home energy auditor with one of these, and he had exactly the same problem: we got a few steps into the attic, an...

Absolute garbage
Would Not RecommendThis thing holds a charge for 30 minutes on full charge. The back battery unit is bulky and if you’re on a creeper it will dig in to the back of your head. Buy something else, why would you not want to maximum amount of light possible. Them saying it holds a charger longer that it actually does is full blown lie. Do not give your hard earned money to Kobalt headlamps.
No LED high contrast shadows.
Would RecommendBright light, dim light, and strobe. But, with one click bright comes on, and after so many seconds, another click will simply turn it off. That's a big plus. But the big thing is that the light is diffuse, so that it lights up a big area, and doesn't make the classical LED shadows. So instead of the scene being illuminated with too bright in places, and too dark in others (too much contrast), the scene is more evenly illuminated and much easier to see. The unit is comfortable and doesn't sti...

Remarkably Bright, Short Lasting Charge
Would Recommendthis is the brightest headlamp ever and its rechargeable which is awesome. It has 3 settings: flashing, bright, and really bright and will light up an entire 2 car garage. 2 dislikes: --charge only lasts about an hour and 15 min -- you can't use it while its charging

Waste of money
Would Not RecommendBought this thing because of the large light strip. The problem is it burns through the battery life and never has a charge on it when needed. So many other options out there. Don’t waste your time and save yourself the rage of a dead flashlight when it’s needed most
