Great headlamp for the price, it does the job.
Good alternative to those AAA battery sucker Energizer headlights. I used to use those Energizer headlights for years. Went looking for a new one and decided to try the DanForce. So far, I've had it since April of 2025 and it has been holding up good, so far. The LED's are quite bright. They do dim down a bit after it has been on for a little while, but that is normal for high powered LED's as they tend to heat up a bit. Love the swivel tilt hinge on the front. Was surprised it would tilt nearly straight down. The Energizer headlamps wouldn't tilt that far. Also the Energizer headlamp elastic bands would ALWAYS get stretched out sooo bad eventually, and then couldn't fit it on my head. So far the DanForce elastic band hasn't stretched (much). One issue I do have is unless you have the elastic band on quite firmly, the headlight will start sliding down the front of my head into my eyes. When I thought I had it set right, I'd use it for a little bit and suddenly it was sliding into my face. Will see if it stays put this time and will update this review accordingly.Battery life... well, they claim 10 hours. You won't get 10 hours out of a full charge. I decided to start timing it each time I used it, and then totaled up by the time it was at one bar left. I got just a bit over 7.5 hours worth. That was using it 10 minutes here, 30 minutes there, 15 minutes here etc. However, this last full charge each time I used it I had used it for extended periods while working on my car at night. An hour and a half here, 2 hours there. I found with heavy usage, the battery doesn't last as long. I got about 5.5 hours this last time. Perhaps the shorter periods of use allow the battery to recover a bit. And heavy usage generates more heat, so that may be the reason for the shorter life. And just for the record, that was using the second light setting with the 2 outside lights, since I do not use the focused beam.One thing I really have a gripe with... the battery recharge time. This thing takes FOREVER to charge back up! I'm talking 6 - 8 hours. Even when I'm using a proper high speed USB-C charging cable plugged into a high output USB-C port, it still takes a long time. That really sucks when I absolutely NEED to use it to finish up some work. I was tempted to dock a star off this review because of that, however this headlight has worked great so far. If you're not going to offer removable batteries, at least put a little more juice the charge speed. I don't have any other headlamps to use while I'm waiting on this one to charge.Other than that, pretty good headlamp.Ver másVer menos
