Digital camera reviews of Energizer 6 LED Headlight With Bright Lights
Digital camera Review: Very good buy
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this light every night while taking the dogs for a walk in the woods. It is comfortable, and the tilt allows you to adjust the direction of light for optimal convenience. It really exceeded my expectations in a way that I forget that I am walking in the woods at night. It has five light setting options (I have no use for the night vision option, but hey - it's there anyway), they all have different beam characteristic, pick the one that suits you. Too early to remark about reliability, durability, or battery life. I am happy with the purchase, will possibly buy another one.Digital camera Review: Headlight with 6 Leds
Summary: 5 Stars
Added this on to an order to make it high enough for free shipping -- can always use an extra head lamp, they are the greatest. This one has a neat red light feature for preserving night vision, so if you are reading something while hiking at night, you don't blind yourself with the light. The tilt feature is a little different from other headlamps, and took some getting used to.Digital camera Review: I'm buying this again...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used both the 3-LED model and this 6-LED model, I've given both as gifts, and after dropping my 6-LED once too many times I'm buying the same model to replace it. It's lighter and less bulky than other models used by my coworkers. The body is small enough that it doesn't stick out way in front of my hardhat. The pivot feature is essential for me. I do not find the multiple click push-button to be a problem because I am not in a night-vision situation; if night vision is important to you, then the 3-LED version is the better choice for you, having a slide switch instead of the push-button (although you sacrifice brightness, since that model has only one red LED).
One advantage to having dedicated red LED's as opposed to Petzl's approach of having a red lens over white LED's: red LED's consume less power than white ones. This has helped me out a time or two: I've drained the batteries to a point that I no longer get enough illumination with the white LED's to really see what I'm doing, but I've still had a few hours of full brightness out of the red ones (or very close to full brightness). Certainly enough time to finish the task at hand without having to interrupt what I was doing, climb down, and find the fresh batteries first.
Digital camera Review: The Energizer Headlamps Are Too Flimsy
Summary: 1 Stars
I have bought both the 3- and the 6-LED Energizer headlights. They're great. I love them. (I got them for $6 and $10, respectively, at Home Depot.)
The BIG problem is that they simply don't last. I do use them on a daily basis, but both broke repeatedly over just a few months of use. They simply (literally) fall apart. They can be repaired--for a while--but when you need a headlight in the wilderness, you need something reliable. The Energizer headlights do not meet that requirement, thus I would advise against them. Pity!
Digital camera Review: Red is first now
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this locally in 12/2008 and it appears Energizer has listened to feedback and has updated this model somewhat. My model is HDL33A2E. The headlight is pretty much as others have said EXCEPT the red light is now FIRST in the sequence of light modes. So night vision is not destroyed ... that is, at least not until you turn it off because you still have to cycle through all the modes then. And the button is STILL hard to press, which makes having to go through all the cycles to turn it off even more irritating and actually a little painful.
