Initially didn't work but has been fixed

I plugged in the headlamp for a day, but it never charged. When I leave it plugged in, it will work when I press the button. When I unplug it, it doesn't work. I need to find a way to return it.Update 1: I've contacted the manufacturer, and they say that they will make a warranty replacement. I've upgraded to three stars for now.Update 2: The manufacturer replaced the bad lamp quickly, and the new lamp has held the initial charge. I haven't used it much yet, so I can't speak to durability…

Pros
  • Not using it with a hard hat so normal bands would be better. and more adjustable
Cons
  • May cause discomfort or headaches for some users due to brightness levels

Great emergency light Made to fit your head and your hardhat! >>> C.E.R.T. = Community Emergency Response Team.In an emergency - you want and need the very best. I own many dozens of LED flashlights - many to give out in a crisis.If it where pitch black - would your first wish - Not be for a light source?Please - plan and act - ahead of a crisis.

Pros
  • It has been a great tool asset for the jobs i need to work on.
Cons
  • Batteries may drain quickly, requiring frequent replacement

Not overjoyed - my new review

Ok, I have had a lot of headlamps. I beat the hell out of them and know a good one when I get one. This one is nothing to get excited about. It does have some good qualities but overall for the price I think you can do better. The major hangup is battery life. Sure it will say lit somewhat for a few hours but the light dims very quick. The unit is very light and that I do like but it is obvious why. This unit has a very small battery. Its a shame too. It could be my go to headlamp but I need…

Pros
  • It does an excellent job aiding me to see while doing fine work or using hand tools in the dark.
Cons
  • Not suitable for use in extreme weather conditions

The best Light I own!

In our heavy duty fleet repair shop we often do not have proper lighting to inspect heavy vehicles. Since I purchased these lights for two of my Technicians their performance has improved 100%. These light have different brightness settings and you can put light on motion detection with your hand so as not to blind other people when talking to them. I will purchase more as battery life works on a charge all day.

Pros
  • The low battery indicator lets users know when it's time to replace the batteries
Cons
  • May create a distracting or disorienting effect on others

Good light! good for me

I get compliments on this light at work when it outshines other people’s headlamps.Super bright for about 10 feet. It doesn’t focus far, but that’s not what I use it for. Battery life is adequate. I had to charge it every night when I was using it more often working indoors. Now with less frequent use, it only needs it every few days or so.I don’t use the motion sensor because I have to look through a lot of scopes at work and it makes it turn on by mistake. It could be handy for someone in a…

Pros
  • The headlamp is perfect for anyone who needs to read or study in low light environments
Cons
  • May be too expensive for some users

Poor battery life - my new review

Love the rechargeable light that this company offers this on the other hand is not as good always changing batteries only has 9hrs of battery life

Pros
  • Hands Free Flashlights & Headlamps
Cons
  • May cause discomfort for users with sensitive skin

Not exactly what I wanted but it’ll do

Was hoping for a very very slim and thin head lamp, unfortunately it’s a little bulky in the front, still thinner than most.

Pros
  • The headlamp is an essential tool for anyone who needs their hands free while working
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use by individuals with certain medical conditions

The battery in my review

The battery only lasted about two hours at most and I did charge it before I first used it. Besides that it's great. Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • The safety flasher is perfect for anyone who wants to stay visible while working or running at night
Cons
  • May not provide adequate illumination for outdoor activities like hiking or camping

I see me getting a LOT of use out of this.

UPDATED REVIEW AFTER 18 Months:My overall review below stands, with one caveat: I'm not impressed with the battery life. See video attached. For this kind of expense, I'd want to see it last through at least an 8-hour day without getting too dim to be useful, and once you notice it dimming, the rest goes downhill fast.Overall I like it a LOT. I was a little afraid it was going to be too big or too heavy. It's neither.I like the fact that I can USB charge it. Most of our tools are becoming that…

Pros
  • The headlamp is perfect for anyone who needs help seeing in low light situations
Cons
  • May cause interference with other electronic devices

Excellent headlamp!

Excellent, excellent headlamp! I have been more than impressed with the brightness and features of all of the Steelman Pro lights that my family has purchased. The hands free feature on this headlamp is really nice in all sorts of applications. I was apprehensive whether the light would turn on and off on its own from head movement, but the folks that make this light did an excellent job with this feature. It only turns on and off when you pass your hand in front of the sensor. This light is…

Pros
  • The headlamp is incredibly easy to use, even for those who have never used a headlamp before
Cons
  • Safety flasher may not be noticeable in bright sunlight

Very brite and even lighting.

I really liked the recharge capability and the motion sensor works very well also. I believe the unit was a little over priced.

Pros
  • I have 4 of these, A reliable head lamp. I use mine 2 hours a day.
Cons
  • May not fit comfortably on all head sizes or shapes

A work /safety light more than adequate for the job !

I’m a city and county firefighter in a rural area, I use this light on my wildland fire helmet to provide a good general purpose working / walking light.Covers a wide area and makes nighttime navigation a little easier than a single "spot” type light I’ve used in the past.I especially appreciate the rear red light (steady or flashes) on the battery pack, it helps us locate each other while we work - even if our backs are turned.lastly - using a standard (and easily replaceable) battery is very…

Pros
  • WATER RESISTANT CASING - Durable ABS plastic casing is IP65 rated for dust and water penetration resistance
Cons
  • Difficult to adjust brightness or switch modes while wearing the headlamp

Was good while it lasted.

Can't see very far with this, but it gives you a REALLY nice wide view of everything within 15ft of you. It's a bit awkward to adjust the straps to fit, and it's a little bulky, but tolerably balanced. Mine stopped working reliable about a year after I got it, a short in the wire that comes from the battery case right at the point where it enters the light by your forehead. If I move too fast or bump the light it shorts and shuts off--so it's pretty much broken and very difficult to use at this

Pros
  • The headlamp provides hands-free lighting, allowing users to use both hands while working or exploring
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain types of batteries

Bright forehead light, but

Even at the lowest intensity, the forehead lamp is quite bright. There is no blink feature. The rear red light is so dim as to be nearly useless. But, it is what it is, seems well constructed, and if you're wanting it to work in a coal mine, this is excellent. If IO had wanted a headlamp flashlight, instead of a lamp to signal my presence, it would get five stars.

Pros
  • Awesome 👌
Cons
  • May not stay securely in place during physical activity

Power button issue.

It is an excellent light. I am an automotive technician and this light comes in handy all the time. On mine, two of the LEDs did not work out of the box but that was a simple fix. The reason it's not getting 5 stars is because the rubber power button doesn't hold up to oils. Mine got very swollen and fell apart, allowing debris, oils, and shop chemicals to get into the circuitry rendering it useless. Mine lasted 6 months. I'm going to buy again but I wish they would use a chemical resistant…

Pros
  • The headlamp is perfect for use in the garage or workshop
Cons
  • May not be compliant with safety regulations in certain industries

Superior light for up close work.

This light it pretty sweet! Light is a little more low profile then my last one. Love the intergraded hard hat clips. Only reason didn't give 5 stars is because with the motion sensor only turns the light on high mode instead of low or medium. That would be a good option to save on battery life if you don't need that much light. Other than that light is very nice.

Pros
  • The headlamp is easy to clean and maintain
Cons
  • May not be sufficiently ventilated, causing discomfort or overheating

Very bright! for my opinion

Easy to use. This is my favorite of all the headlights I have. Riding my Canam at night I can see all around when I turn my head for quite a distance. More like daybreak than night. And not like a flashlight beam but a rather wide view.

Pros
  • The headlamp is perfect for anyone who enjoys nighttime jogging or biking
Cons
  • May be difficult to operate while wearing gloves or other protective gear

Good for a while good for me

I've had this for close to a year, used mostly in winter months for construction work.Good at first, but now the light level soon drops off to where it's not clear whether it is on or not- approaching the do-not-bother point. Maybe being little used over the summer was not good for the battery.Another similar, but with single bulb, light continues to perform well.

Pros
  • The headlamp is perfect for emergency situations, such as power outages or car breakdowns
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use in areas with strict lighting regulations

Easy to use, durable, motion sensing works awesome.

Hi, my name is Dan, and I am an automotive detailer. I love this headlamp; I own two and would definitely buy again.I have been wanting to review this product for awhile because it works so well.This headlamp is very reliable and I use it 6 days a week to detail cars. I will use one while the other is charging - when the one dies, I'll swap them out. I initially had to adjust the straps a lot because I don't wear it over a hardhat but I got it to work. I absolutely love the motion sensing and…

Pros
  • The headlamp is perfect for anyone who enjoys nighttime photography or videography
Cons
  • May not be repairable or have replaceable parts

Not a well made product. Very disappointing

I was truly disappointed in this product. I used & needed this product to do inspections on busses for my employment. I was unable to use this light to do my job. I always heard that Steelman products were a good brand, so I decided to try them. The brightness, battery life & motion detector all stop working correctly after only 30 days. I am a mechanic & need a well built product.thank you for your time. My wife purchased this product for me…RR

Pros
  • MOTION SENSOR ACTIVATION - Light modes can be controlled through a push button or via the built-in motion sensor
Cons
  • May be too bright for close-up tasks
