very average

a few months after purchase it becomes very difficult to recharge it, the connector does not connect very well to the charger cable, too much play

A detail...which doesn't have one

This lamp works well but has two faults which are annoying: - The charge indicator is under the lamp so when you turn on the lamp while already in the dark, you catch the light of the charge indicator in your eyes and what's more it remains lit for about ten seconds, which is a long time - The glue in the small foam which is intended to ensure that the lamp does not hurt the forehead does not last over time. After a while, it loses its quality, the foam starts to slip and you end up with the lamp moving around and glue on your forehead, not very pleasant either

Very good lamp

Very good lamp, I've been using it for a long time and it works very well, resisting the rain. I recommend

Excellent

Illuminates very well and far away, very practical at night. Very good battery life and resists the cold.

Good product.

Practical on hikes, and in the workshop!! good charge, shines for a long time! The head adjustment does not hold, to be adjusted each time it is used, the same problem as on the old ONNIGHT. With the previous one we could run, but not with this one, too heavy, it goes down systematically. But it's still a good product!!

Very good and good quality headlamp

Used for a night trail. Alright. Very tale of the lamp.

โดยรวมใช้งานได้ดี ไฟสว่างกำลังดี แต่อยากให้ปรับปรุง 2 เรื่องครับ 1 สาย USB C เสียบค่อนข้างยาก และหลุดง่ายครับ (เขี้ยวไม่ล๊อคสาย) 2 อยากให้มี Slide switch สำหรับ เปิด-ปิด อีกชั้นหนึ่ง เนื่องจาก เมื่อใส่ลงในกระเป๋าเดินทางไฟฉายมันถูกสิ่งของอย่างอื่นไปกดโดนและเปิดเองอยู่บ่อยครั้งครับ

non-rechargeable

not rechargeable. I bought this piece last July. Since I tried to charge it for the first time, it was not rechargeable no matter what cable I use. I tried various options before contacting customer service via email to exchange or repair the product. Unfortunately, I have not received any response yet. Now I am back home in India and I contacted the live customer care representative here as I need the headlamp for a trek in India. They recommended using any cable. Finally, I read the reviews and found out that everyone is facing the same issue and that the problem is with the product itself. I would definitely exchange this product at a nearby branch when I am back in Germany.

The headlamp shines very well, it is well thought out, but it has one big shortcoming. You cannot charge it without the original cable. I really have a lot of different USB-C cables at home, but none other than the one that came in the package will charge the headlamp. The charging connector itself is probably too embedded in the headlamp, so it is not possible to charge it with anything other than the original cable. At the moment I can't find the cable so I'm just waiting for the headlamp to run out. Then the only thing left to do is return it to the store...

A major flaw: the clasp on the connection for recharging does not guarantee any watertightness... too bad it has a vulgar "plastic tongue" that does not seal effectively...

Powerful headlamp that holds a charge well
