Flood-to-Throw 3-Mode Cree Q3 LED Headlamp (1*18650)

Pros: Plenty bright. Uses the awesome 18650 rechargeable Lithium battery. Flood to throw works fine. Low mode is significantly dimmer than high (I have had many lights that low was barely noticeably lower).
Other than the problems listed below the design is very nice. Headband is big enough and power cord is long enough.

Cons: Hinge looks weak and does not have enough adjust-ability. Mine either was a little to high or low.
The battery compartment was obviously not designed for the 18650, it's about three times the size it needs to be and is uncomfortable on the head.

Other: A good try, If you already have the batteries and charger and need a bright head light with adjustable flood, don't mind a weak looking hinge without enough stops and a not very comfortable battery pack, then this will be an OK light.

Pros: I realy like that the lamp uses 18650 battery. The straps around the head are very god, in other models that I tried they sometime tend to come loose. I also like that the batterypack on the back of your head shines red when the power is on. It makes it easier for peaople to see me.

Cons: None so far but the power on buttom is maybe litle to small. I also hade some problemes with 18650 batteries. I have two different brands and my blue 18650 did not work. The trustfire 18650 did work perfect

Other: Best and brightest headlamp that I tried. I have tried at least 10 other models from Deal extreme

Pros: - It's lightweight - It's very bright - It has adjustable focus, which I really like. 1 lamp suitable for different situations. - It seems to be build pretty decent. - It has different modes - It has a little red light on the back, which makes it easier for people to see you from behing, - It takes 18650 battery's which I really like for flashlights.

Cons: - Strobe mode is unnecassary for me, but I knew it was there before buying. - It's sometimes a bit hard to push the light back into it's place when you adjusted the angle of the light.

Other: If you want a headlight with high and low mode, long runtime, far throw and/or great flood. Buy this

Pros: - It's small and lightweight lamp. - This lamp uses 18650 battery! 18650 generate more power and longer runtime than Ni-MH and alkaline batterys. It's a very good thing. - Bright enough - Flood to throw (adjustable focus) - Hi / Low / Strobe modes - It has a little red signal light on the back side

Cons: - The battery compartment was originaly designed for use three AAA batteries. Too big for one 18650 - Hinge too weak - Plastic lens - It's have not traditional reflector, just a simple machined aluminium bushing - The box crumpled by a horde of mammoth :) (It's not a big cons, the lamp is still unbroken)

Other: It's a good buy. I buy another one for my friend.

Pros: Good throw! Easy to use! 18650 battery! Long runtime! Good strap! Rear light!

Cons: Not so much flood Large unused space in battery pack Feels a little weak hinge

Other: A nice headlamp with good running time, i should recomend it to anyone that need a good headlamp.

Pros: Very inexpensive for a lightweight headlamp running on an 18650 battery. It is focusable so you can zoom in or out depending on your need. It can focus to a tight beam, giving very good throw. Produces quite a bit of light. Head straps are comfortable and hold the light securely.

Cons: Not the best quality (but not bad for the price). Even at its most floody setting it is still not real floody. At the floody setting there are very noticeable rings at the outside of the bright spot. Personally, I find strobe annoying and would prefer a light without it.

Other: I think this is a good buy if you are looking for an inexpensive headlamp running on an 18650. It is not perfect, but the price is hard to beat.

Pros: It is a Q3, so it will be nice and bright. It runs off of a 18650, so you know it will run a long time. It feels nice and study The head band is very thing, and feels like it will last. I really don't care about the 3 modes, but is does have them, and I know more people find this a pro, so I will list it as a pro. The battery pack / lamp is padded. oh... it ZOOMS!

Cons: Cons, the only negative thing I have to say about this head lamp, is that the hinge feels / looks VERY VERY weak, I don't know how long it will last.

Other: Buy 1, buy 2. Well worth the 13$

Pros: -Very bright light. Friends and colleagues of mine own some much more expensive headlamps, but this is way better. -Very concentrated light at minimum flood (throw). During the night, this light will light up your path some two hundred meters ahead of you. -This is quite comfortable to wear, and despite the somewhat clumsy look of it, this headlamp both feels good and looks good when you put it on. -The first mode is high mode. I like this. My previous headlamp's modes were low-mid-high-strobe, very annoying. -It uses 18650 batteries, perfect for all kinds of flashlights and headlamps. I use the sku.28678 batteries (with sku.13820 charger). -The white "LED" sign at the back of the battery pack lights up (red light) when turned on, using the same mode as the main light. It isn't strong at all though, but strong enough. People can see where the back of your head is. -Feels expensive.

Cons: -Personally, I would prefer only one mode (on/off!). The strobe mode is really annoying, and I don't see any use for it. Luckily, the button is quite good, so going from high mode to off only takes half a second. -The hinge looks weak, but feels all right. It's not like you have to use it very often, so don't worry. -Not so much flood. Also, when flooding, there's some rings along the edge, but this doesn't bother me at all.

Other: Perfect for late night strolls in the woods, as a gift, or just for showing off.

Pros: Bright. Lightweight. Well-balanced between the front and back. The elastic head-strap looks poor/weak but is actually quite good.

Cons: The hinge looks to be very fragile, so be careful when it's not in the locked position. If it breaks, probably JB Weld it.

Other: Worth every penny, and it uses an 18650, so it'll last a LONG time. Significantly better than anything that uses a AA or AAA battery. Not as bright as a P7 900 Lumen Emitter... but probably better than a P7 (bang-for-the-buck).

Pros: Very usefull for everyday use with a trustfire Li Ion battery which is a very cheap and heavy duty power supply. No need to buy any AA or AAA batteries every week. Good regulation of the current to the LED - switching power supply. Real 1W LED. Measured the current and voltage with a multimeter.

Cons: CREE LED becomes hot at maximum level after 10minutes. To be set at lower level as it is still enough light around, while the CREE is cold.

Other: A must have thing for people worging in the dark! I do recommend to buy it.
