Review on NEBO Transcend 1000-Lumen LED Headlamp Flashlight: 5 Modes, Rechargeable Head Lamp with Turbo Function & Adjustable Reflective Head Strap - Model 7001 by Robert Xayamonty

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not as bright as you think

I have had several lights made by Nebo and reviews are mixed. This light is very versatile for hands-free use. The headband is durable and seems to last a long time. The head mount has a nice cushion that makes it useful and comfortable even without a hat, and it stays where you put it. Nebo uses the best of the strongest magnets to securely stick to metal objects. Turbo mode instructions are not easy to understand. As far as I can tell, you first have to press the power button twice to put the light in flash mode before you press and hold the button to put the light in turbo mode. All of the Nebo rechargeable flashlights I've owned, with the exception of the Slyde King, didn't have the power button working, but the button on this unit is a different style and seems pretty solid. While useful I expected the light to be brighter, for the most part the turbo doesn't last long enough to be useful, the highs are okay, the mids and lows really aren't bright enough for my use. The sealing ring that covers the charging port broke when you first use it, hope it won't get wet. For the money there are probably better options that will hopefully have o-rings that will last more than 1 use.
