    I wouldn't risk taking a rechargeable head lamp out on the farm over calving. When they decide to go flat you don't have much time...lights out real quick.

    So before i push buy now are these the ducks nuts?
    I like the price and the rechargeable system as i already have a lenser rechargeable and don’t have to buy bloody batteries any more!
    My favorite sentences i like to hear are - I suppose so. and Send It!

    It is by no means the best quality but none have failed as yet and they have a pretty good beam. I like the waterproof switch on the side where it is easy to get to. Buy two so you have a spare and spare set of batteries, the combined price is still very good value.

    I hear you Dundee, I keep a cheap walmart handheld or my Tiablo A9 in the pocket of my snow bibs. But they aren't quite as handy as a good headlamp

    The 18650 rechargeable headlamps don't die suddenly with low voltage, they just slowly get dimmer.
