sofirn Rechargeable Headlamp, D25L 1000 Lumen with Dual LED 5000K 90 High CRI, Super Bright USB Headlamp Flashlight for Running Camping Hiking Fishing Backpacking Reading

I don't write reviews for every product I purchase, but I am going out of my way to write this review because the D25L by Sofirn is a great headlamp - especially for the price. The headlamp arrived with three hard-hat clips, the headlamp, a micro-USB charging cord, and a Sofirn 3,000 mAH Li-ion battery. I immediately charged the battery inside the headlamp with the supplied cord until the green light appeared on the body of the headlamp. The voltage at full charge measured 4.19 volts - a full charge without overcharging the battery. Very nice.The headlamp output levels work as specified by Sofirn - the light memorizes the level you last used before turning the light off, and you can ramp up the output level by pressing and holding down the switch. A double-click on the switch activates the strobe, after which one click will turn off the light and re-set it to turn on in the normal output mode you last used before turning on the strobe. I have not tested the runtimes on the various output levels yet, but the manufacturer's specs, based on using their battery, are very good - a vast improvement on the lighter-weight, cheaper headlamps for sale on Amazon that are not built as well and don't have anywhere near the runtime of the D25L or D25S.The beam profile of the output is a very pleasant mixture of spot and spread. Sofirn says the D25L is more "floody" than the D25S, which has a more concentrated light output pattern. The tint of the D25L is very neutral, without being terribly yellow. I'd guess it is very close to the claimed 5000K. The headband is very comfortable, although you will notice the light on your head over time. But the weight is not oppressive, and I was surprised by the comfort of the product on my head. The headband tightens well and will not slip down.The build is very solid - good machining, mostly good anodizing (there is one scratch in the anodizing on the top of the headlamp) and o-rings at both ends of the battery tube, although not around the lenses. So, it is very water-resistant, but not submersible. No need for a submersible headlamp for me. Overall, this headlamp is a great value, and I am glad I bought it instead of one of the ultra-light headlamps with much less runtime and less quality. Highly recommended.

I haven't bought a headlamp style flashlight before but I would recommend this one to people. Even if you don't think you'd use it all the time, you never know when it could come in handy and, at this price, there's no reason not too (double so if you can find a discount code which Sofirn is extremely generous with on social media).I don't have any way of measuring output, but I'm not sure it truly reaches 1000 lumens. You almost wouldn't want it too considering you'll usually be working up close with this light. That said, it's plenty bright. You can see in the photos it is very floody, much more so than the SC31Pro I used for comparison.The color rendering is great as advertised. Again compared to the SC31Pro, you can see the difference. Please keep in mind the photos were taken with a phone camera on auto setting. It's extremely difficult to give true-to-life representation of color, even with a nice camera so the comparison shots are just to give a general idea.I like that the integrated charger is accessed by unscrewing the head rather than via a rubber flap. I think this is the better option to keep water tightness as high as possible. I would have loved if it utilized USB-C charging but micro is fine.The UI could be better in my opinion. Personally, I'd prefer a full click to change modes rather than holding to scroll through modes. I find that I have trouble landing on the exact mode I want. It'd be fine if you could hold then release on each mode but that seems to change "direction" i.e. from low->high to high->low. A light like this really also needs a very low/moonlight mode IMO- 1 lumen or even sub-lumen level.Still, at this price, it's a great value. If you can find the right promo, it's almost like getting the light for just a few dollars considering the price of batteries right now. At normal price, I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a headlamp. I don't think you can find one at this price that combines this output, high CRI, and good runtimes via 18650 battery. Sofirn is also a brand I and most people trust to make products at a high quality even though their prices are low so you can't really go wrong if you're in the market and, even if you're not, you never know when this will come in handy.

Lightweight, decent battery life, super bright (flood style) light. Way better than lugging a battery pack around on the back of your head. Will buy more bought 3 already.

I like this little light we do lots of work at night and this bright little light is like having a 3rd hand.

La compré para agregarla a mi EDC, ya nomas a esperar una salida a acampar para usarla y disfrutar la
