Hi All,

This guy uses a single AA battery (don't want AAA bats) and
has a spot and flood mode. I do wonder it is will point
where I need it to point though. It got only one review,
so who knows.

I used to put a flashilight with 2 c-cells in my mouth, but I'm glad
they have LEDs now. Now I put an LED light with 3 AAA batteries and 9
leds (one in the center and 8 in a circle) in my mouth. Much easier on
my jaws and always points where I'm looking.

My wife had one. It was not very bright and it vibrated.

I have the "free with any purchase" Harbor Freight headlamp. It uses two AA batteries, has a good head harness, and I wish I had had one many years ago instead of having to ask my wife to try to follow with a regular flashlight wherever I was looking under sinks,and in various car areas.

Coincidentally, while working on the dishwasher, one of the kids brought
me their little headlamp. It worked great. Here it is on Amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/Black-Diamond-...d+led+headlamp

But it uses AAA batteries. Not sure what your problem is with that.

If you screw the black ring off, you can bust out
the silver reflector, and discard the bulb (oddly
enough, these do have a spare bulb in there).

Put in a LED module made for Mini Mag, and you've
got a really great head lamp.

The elastic stretches after a while, doesn't last
forever.

Have some fun: Decide you need to see some thing
up close, tilt your head to look through your
near vision bifocals, and see what happens. It's
de-light-ful.

May be good but I like to see lumen output. I might wait for more
reviews to come in.

I prefer lights with conventional batteries. Lithium batteries just gave
out in key chain flashlight friend gave me. Four batteries at a minimum
of $1 each have me thinking twice about replacing.

I just ordered one of these - though not from Amazon.com. You can buy
them on line all day for anywhere from $22 to $40 for the exact same
model. Some come with extra batteries


http://tinyurl.com/l8hwl3w

I don't know about this 5000 lumen claim, but for my purposes anything
close to half that should be way more than adequate.

I have a small headlamp but what sold me on trying this one was my
specific need.

I have occasion to do lawn mowing late in the evening with a large
zero-turn mower. I was going to put lights on it but the "good"
mounting spots would also leave the lamp assemblies in a position to be
damaged when I cut in close to shrubs and a line of wild honeysuckle, etc.

As I don't need light all that often, this likely will work like a charm
throwing sufficient light in whatever direction I'm looking.

FWIW, I've swapped out the incandescent and/or halogen bulbs on all
Streamlight and MagLite flashlights. Wow! What a difference. They are
great!

Where did you buy the maglite LED replacement bulbs?

I bought mine through Amazon.com

Do a Google search for

TerraLUX TLE-6EXB MiniStar5 140 Lumens, Led Conversion Kit for 2-3 Cell
C&D MagLites

IIRC, the conversion kits were actually listed at 160 or 180 lumens when
they arrived. The Amazon.com partner was offering a two pack for about
$33 with free shipping.

TerraLux actually made all of the conversion kits that I bought for both
the MagLites and StreamLights

I agree. Suspect somebody has taken hyperbole to a new record. Still,
if it provides 10% of that claim (which, given the multiple lamps, is
feasible) it should work fine for my purposes.

What did you put in your Stream and Mag?

I think there is a web site "super bright
LED" or some thing, that sells PR based
bulbs for flash lights. One email friend
really loves them. At $15 or so per bulb,
I've not bought any. Might, some day when
I have lots of money.

I also put the TerraLux kits in my two Streamlights (one is the Stinger
XP and the other is the Stinger XP HP (larger "flood" head)). Both were
older units (~7 -8 yrs old) and the kits fit/work perfectly.

Religion?

I buy AA Lithiums 20 at a time from one of my wholesalers.
They can take a while to use up, but they have excellent shelf
lives, so I don't care. I try to stay away from AAA (and C's)
to simplify my life.

Don't like having to keep every size under the rainbow around.
I have recently added D's into my life with my new mega
blaster flashlight, but for what it is used for, I will
buy batteries when I notice the current ones starting to
fade (no stocking).

As far as I can tell, the Lithiums last about three
times as long, but cost three times as much, so the
only advantage comes from three times less labor
changing batteries.

Follow up:

I went ahead and order one, against advice to wait for more reviews.

It took two weeks to arrive.

It came with an Eveready AA Alkaline battery

The up/down angle is adjustable.

The spot function is quite adequate for close up work and
for pruning my flowers in the dark.

The flood option is a bit on the dim side and is a higher
color temperature than the spot light.

The spot and flood can not be on at the same time.

The unit is light weight due to the single AA battery
design.

It is obviously electronically driven and as such brighter
than passively driven design which require three AAA
batteries.

The head band is comfortable when adjusted to taste.


Thank you all for helping me with this!

Interesting aside. When I first got the thing, I decided to vacuum
the house in the dark to see how well the headlight worked. It
did fine. But, you know those ceiling hanging webs you can never
relocate because the light/sun is shining differently when you
have the vacuum wand in hand than when you first spotted the
darlings, so you just flail around with the wand hoping you nail
them? Well now. ALL OF THEM show up like a sore thumb when
you have this head set on in the dark. It shocked me how many
there were. They are not there anymore. I had a blast. I hate
those dangler webs. :-)

Looking at the Amazon site again I see output of 115 lumens.
You have to go farther down the page then you expect to see this.
That should be adequate for your use.

I am happy with it. It is light weight, uses a single AA battery,
