[3x AA] I am very satisfied with the Coast HL45 head light. It is very bright and has two different brightness settings and it also has a red LED if you need that. I own several of the Coast lights and will always be a Coast product buyer. The life time warranty and the customer support is the best!

[3x AA] I bought this lamp for six reasons.
1. You can use it hands free, very useful when you are hauling your photo gear and a tripod.
2. You can adjust the angle of the beam by turning the light on its central axis
3. You can adjust the size of the beam by rotating the front lens.
4. It can produce a bright light of 1000 lumens
5. The rechargeable battery has enough capacity to produce 1000 lumens for a couple of hours and by choosing a lower lumen light options (available through light switch) it can go much longer.
6. It is USB chargeable.

In the couple of months that I have used it, it has performed beautifully on all counts. I am impressed. The only remaining item is long term reliability but so far a great job indeed.

I have often found it far easier and more comfortable to wear it around my neck (rather than on my head) as I am usually wearing a winter jacket and found this way to be far more comfortable with the elastic strap going around the collar of my parka and the battery hanging over my chest.

I do have a suggestion regarding charging it with the micro USB cable supplied with the battery. Instead of disconnecting the micro end of the cable from the battery box, keep the micro end of the cable permanently connected to the battery box and tie the charging cable (after folding etc) with a velcro tape to the coiled cable which connects the battery to the lamp. Then use the other (regular USB) end of the cable to connect (and disconnect ) to a USB hub. This way there is no danger of damaging the micro end which is built into the battery holder and any damage there shall render the whole light worthless and such damage is not easy to repair. In other words, leave the micro end permanently connected.

All in all, I am very satisfied and , in my opinion, it is a great value.
Five stars.

[0.9 lb] This headlamp is American made, uses a very common AAA batteries which are found around the world. The burn time will be hard to beat and the settings are bright yet flexible for reading in your tent with 4 settings to choose from. Selecting the desired light brightness is simple quick and practical. When using the 300 lumen/brightest setting the darkness is lit up in a big way. I find the high/flood setting to be the most popular brightness at 90 lumens for general around the camp use. The color of light seems to be more efficient as well. Many have had issues with the battery cover breaking, mine has not but I am careful.

[ 6 to 70 Hours] I had this light and my dad fell in love with it, so I bought one for him. We are both flashlight snobs, so we love good lights. I can't brag on this night enough. It is a small frame light but it is so bright. This light has a focused spot that carries a long way, but still provides a great pattern up close. The new model is a little longer than the old one, but the overall size is still OK. If you are looking for a small but powerful light, you can't go wrong with this one.
