Review on Rechargeable Waterproof Clip-On Cap Light - Ultra Bright Cree LED Headlamp For Hands-Free Fishing, Camping, Work, And Baseball Caps by Matthew Mosley

Rechargeable caplamps have one very good attribute: no extra batteries to buy. That being said, you must have the opportunity to recharge it, or you're without a caplamp. I use rechargeable ones at home to get about after lights out. It's easier on the spouse and less energizing to the dogs if I don't flip on an overhead or a table lamp whenever I need the facilities or a drink, but I don't want to trip, either. At home, I have the opportunity to recharge the light every few nights of usage, even in extended periods of no electricity (I can always use a charger in the car or a jumpstart battery)On a camping trip, I might carry one of these, but only if I weren't backpacking. You might be able to recharge one with a solar unit, but that's not what you want to be doing with your daylight if hiking, so I'd carry a regular caplamp for that.My previous rechargeable one is in process of giving up the ghost, so I found this one at a very attractive price. I ordered it, hoping it would be as good as my old light. It's much better. It's brighter, the light is slightly more yellow than pure white (I prefer it so) and has a detent aiming on the clip, so you can vary the light point from down to up. My old light lacked that, and the way I wear my hat, It struck too low.I bought this light and my old one because they sit ABOVE the brim of the cap. I find if a light sits below the brim, it interferes with my vision. Also, lights above the brim seem to block scattered light which reduce visibility.Charging time is comparable or less with this new light. It also has cob lights for area and a spotlight for focused light. I generally prefer the focused, but if working close, I'd like the cobs. Both methods have two levels of light. The different styles (cob vs focused) are activated by pressing in different areas of the rubberized switch. There is a rubber plug/cover for the charging port, so it should be relatively water resistant.Price was very attractive and shipping was 2 days. It even arrived ON LABOR DAY. I didn't think anyone would be delivering packages on Labor Day, but this light came then.If you need a rechargeable caplamp, buy this light.
