Energizer Vision HD+ LED Headlamp, Water Resistant Bright Headlamp with Digital Focus, Camping Gear and Emergency Light, Batteries Included, Pack of 1

As a HUGE Flashlight aficionado I have dozens of headlamps of all kinds from many manufacturers, dozens of flashlights from cheap to more expensive and a number of bike lights too as I LOVE to ride at night on pitch dark trails and roads with only the lights lighting the way.I own a few other Energizer headlamps including their green 250 lumen version which I also like very much. I got this one as I wanted something even brighter in a small package. I'm glad I got this one.While this doesn't have the variable brightness dimming feature of the green 250 lumen light, which I really like, once you play around with the various setting on this light you can get 4 basic light output settings which is good enough for just about any situation. The Green one is capable of going Very dim so if you need a light to be able to go dim for use in reading something and conserving power, then that light might be a better choice. This light does have a Low setting of 45 lumen which is good enough to be able to read something on white paper and not be blinded by the reflection though.The biggest feature of this light other than it's brightness is what's called the "DIGITAL DIMMING" feature which uses Energizers gradual "dimming" technology to gradually CHANGE between the two flood lights on either side of the light and the bright main beam in the middle. You can stop anywhere in between to achieve a balance between both types of beams or go all the way to spot at which point the two FLOOD beams will go off completely, OR go all the way to FLOOD which still leaves the main light on in very low power which gives just a SLIGHT hotpspot in the middle of the light which is good as it gives a slight extra middle light beam. This light is bright enough that the wide flood mode just described is bright enough for most applications and I believe it will also save the batteries some too. It's about twice as bright as the FLOOD mode on the 250 Lumen Green light mentioned previously.I've discovered that the main light is obviously the brightest at the max of 400 lumens, then by putting the FOCUS mode on the spot light, that's probably about 300 lumens light as it's not as bright as when it's on the high maximum mode, then the "Digital flood" mode on MAX FLOOD mode is probably about 120 to 150 lumens but unfortunately the packaging gives NO details about this and finally the main mode LOW mode is the dimmest which is does mention that it's 45 lumens.I used 1100MA rechargeable batteries in all my lights and so far I've gotten at least several hours with this light mostly on high as I've taken it out to the woods to to test it and it's still going strong.As with most all of these brighter Energizer lights, including the Green one, there is a bit of a SPILL from the main light that gets into your eyes and can be annoying or distracting. Just putting a bit of electrical tape or black duct tape on the bottom of it solves this problem. This was much worse with the GREEN 250L light but again, small piece of electrical tape solved the problem so it's a very minor issue but one I wish Energizer would address though.The straps on these lights are all very comfortable as I often end up leaving it on for many minutes and sometimes a half hour or more without even thinking about it as I forget that it's on my head as It's so comfortable. I use it while biking as well and regular bumps don't move it but I don't go mountain biking or do jumps. Others have said that it wouldn't stay put in that situation unless you really tighten it a lot.One thing I noticed about this light, and I don't know if it's supposed to be this way or if it's just mine as it doesn't say at all on the packaging, but when you put the light on the highest setting, it seems to have an AUTO BRIGHTENING for some reason. It will start out at probably 250 lumens then pretty quickly, over about the next 20 to 30 seconds, increase to the full 400 lumens.I'm not entirely sure why it does this though I have read in other lights that have this feature that it's done to help protect the LED's themselves from sudden voltage spikes. This helps the LED's last longer by not subjecting it to abrupt max voltage input when the light it put on high. I assume that this is the same reason that Energizer did this too, unless it's just my particular one that has this quirk I'm not sure. I'll check some other reviews and update this here if I find that to be the case.Overall I'm very happy with this light and if needed I would gladly get another one.

Really like this headlight as it is bright. The only downside is that it likes battery’s even though it is led. I get 2-3 hours out of a set of batteries before it gets noticeably dim. I would recommend it. I did have to put some black electrical tape on it to cut down on glare coming off of the unit. Other than that it’s perfect for what I need. If you need maximum runtime, but not maximum brightness you may want to look else where.

Important to get this model that has a light that can swivel down. It's very bright, 3 settings, 2 white light and one Red filter light.

Didn't use this one yet but I own another one which I'm pretty sure is the same one and that one is good but it tends to randomly turn of when tilting the headlamp forward so I hope this one wont have the same problem.

this will be my 2nd or 3rd headLAMP from energizer , the other ones wore out after 10years ..

Bought it to go camping. The option of white or red light is a plus. After I got back, I have used it to do some work under a car. It was absolutely great for that purpose! I may never go camping again, but this guy will get a lot of use when I work on my kids' cars. Very happy with this purchase.

Bought this Vision HD+ as an alternative to holding a flashlight during evening hikes and it works great. I took off the headband and clip it to my chest trap of the backpack so that I have two free hands, especially useful during the rocky part of the hike.What I like about this model:1) Night vision model - I can use it while hiking with people who prefers walking with natural (moon) lights, it would not bother them as much2) Pivot angle - ability to focus to the distance in front or towards to far distance3) Memory recall - one click on the dedicated button to go back to the preferred mode instead of cycle through all the modes with 3-4 clicks each time you turn it back on4) Light "Angle" - the ability to have light beam focus straight and narrow or wider to the side (This is done by alternating brightness from the center bulb to the side bulbs and vice versa, not physically altering the angle of the bulbs. The extremes values are 1) Center bulb fully on / Side bulbs fully off, 2) Center bulb fully off / Side bulbs fully on)As mentioned with other reviews, it does have minor light leak at the top and bottom. You can decrease the leak by covering the parts by permanent marker, electrical tape, Sugru, and etc. All in all this is a perfect for hands free evening / night hikes. Highly recommended!

Been using this same model for 10 years might not be the brightest or the band may stretch over 2 years but the best in my book for every day use
