OLIGHT Perun 3 Rechargeable Headlamp Flashlight, 3000 Lumens LED Headlight with Red Light, Waterproof Head Lamp with Headband for Outdoor Camping, Hiking, Working (Midnight Blue)

Loving this light. Works as a fladhlight as well as a headlamp. Super bright with a good size rechargeable battery that can be replaced with the correct unit. Only issue i have found so far is when wearing as headlamp it is kind of heavy but I write that off as the large battery and sturdy metal construction. Did I mention the headband holder is also metal along with the light?

This light is the bomb. Heckin' good. It'll cost ya a pretty penny, but it performs. Been loving it for both hunting and for work (in ceiling/attic spaces, under stages/in crawlspaces, wiring/soldering/cable management behind racks and just in generally poorly lit closets or other spaces, etc). The battery is long lasting, the footprint is small, the magnet on the tail end of the light is strong, I appreciate that the housing is made from metal and not plastic, and I love the multiple white light settings plus the bright & dim red light settings. The red light settings have been particularly great for dark walks out to the deer blind or tree stand, or early mornings in the parking lot loading gear into the little fishing boat before heading out for waterfowl -not to mention the red light settings can be sustained for an absolutely crazy length of time. Jokes have been made about unleashing the power of the sun when using this on its brightest setting, but that extra bit of brightness really does light up a patch of ground in the woods almost as though it's daylight, which is *great* if ever there's a need for tracking your quarry after sundown and if the trail is sparse. Another thing I really appreciate is the right angle position of the head, since it allows me to clip the light to a shoulder strap or a loop on a backpack or harness (just like like how an old MX991/U flashlight clips onto an ALICE harness) for another hands free option if I don't feel like using the headband to strap the light directly to my head. Note: do compare the charts Olight provides regarding how long different brigtnesses can be sustained. Comparing the outputs and sustained brightnesses of different models really helped me settle on this one (as well as the red light feature, which was something I was specifically looking for, and wish more lights provided) and I have no regrets for it. The brightest setting on any of these can only be sustained for so long and then automatically steps down primarily for cooling purposes, as running too hot for too long could cause damage.

If I were working as a mechanic, I'm just not sure where I would want to use this light. I'm going through several videos trying to see where this would fit into my life. I have some wave on / wave off super light strip type lights that I use for mechanical work, and if I break one - it won't hurt as much . I'm not sure I want to beat this up under a car or in the garage. The battery is a big 18650 and the light will also work without their proprietary one. Hiking and Biking is where this light shines! Pun intended, It's a little on the heavy side, if you take it off the head band you a have a pretty powerful flashlight. Has a red emitter, a good magnet on the end, so yes, you could use this as a mechanic, but I'd worry about dropping it and chemicals . I think the 4.7 is an honest rating. I own many other Olights, Arkfield Pro, Baton Pro, Marauder mini, to name a few. . I'm just not sure where this fits into my life. If I had a motorcycle, that could be a nice touch. I'm trying to see where other people are using this. The information on the light itself is vast. So, very good hand held 90° light and headlamp, Most likely an outdoor hiking / biking setting, I hope that helps. With that said, Yes, the light is awesome! (*powerful nice battery) I looked up Perun just for you ^ 1 year edit: it's been useful, I've used it for peeling out cut vinyl wrap, staining tables, laying polyurethane on wood, very good hands free headlight, glad to have it

Built very well. The charging method is worth a lot on rechargeable items. The microusb (sp?) ports always fail. The magnet is the way to go. Plus the battery is replaceable. Functions are great. One push on and off plus it comes back on at the same level it was at, except turbo comes on as high and high comes on as medium. I like that feature, as it saves battery and I don’t usually need more than medium. I’ll buy another when I need a second one.

So far, I love everything OLight makes. This particular one is super flexible and can be used a number of different ways with the right-angle light orientation. The light is small and easy to pocket by itself, has a strong magnetic base that allows it to stick to metal when it isn’t mounted to the head elastic (amazing for working in the back of a pickup where it can stick magnetically to the inside of the truck bed and light things up 90 degrees from its base rather than than blinding the operator and only partially illuminating the cargo as a straight magnetic light would do), and is very versatile, bright and long-lasting. The head mount is great for relatively low intensity activities like examining / changing a tire, setting up camp, etc. where you need hands free, but I’m not sure I’d want to go on a long nighttime trail run because of the weight and potentially need to reposition. Small super lightweight headlamps like Black Diamond or Biolite are probably better for that specific application. In any event, OLights are amazing and you should buy any the look useful for what you need.
