I started carrying it with me all the time. The multi-use feature is extremely handy.

Great Headlamp, the battery life is awesome, 2 to 5 days depending on how I use it. The turbo or highest setting is like turning on the Sun.

This headlamp is awesome! I like it even more than the HM65R for daily use. It’s more comfortable to wear and it has less buttons to fiddle with. Also changing the batteries is a breeze with the easy-off magnetized battery cap. It does go through batteries quickly on the highest setting but I rarely need to use that level of output. Add in the handheld convertible feature and you have a real winner.

This is a great head lamp unit! The pros: the flashlight easily pops out to become a handheld unit. The magnetic base is quite strong and will stick well to any metal based structures nearby. The charging is via a magnetic connection to the unit so you don’t have to remove the battery (but you could if you wanted to use an external charger). For the size, the white light gets quite bright! You can easily rotate the light up/down within the clip holders. The headband is quite comfortable and adjustable in both straps (even for my 7 7/8″ head, XXL). The red light is great at night and has two different powers (1 and 5 lumens which is perfect for night operations, in my case on boats), although it does distort the magenta color on boating charts so green might have been a better choice, but green doesn’t give as good acuity overall. The one con: the white light is the default color, so if you’re using this at night, and you want to go directly to the red light, you have to hold the “on” switch and the light cycles to white and then the red. This can be annoying for others around you to suddenly have a white light hit you (after hours in the dark) so you have to just put your hand over the lens to cover the white light till it changes to red (in a second or two). Some lights will default to their last setting so if you turn off the red light, it will come back on as red, but I haven’t figured out if this light has that feature. Not a big deal to work around it. Overall, quite happy with this unit.

Thanks for your comment – the light does have “Intelligent Memory Circuit” wherein it memorizes the last selected output, excluding red light mode unfortunately. When turned on again the previously used output of white light mode will be recalled. We have mentioned to the factory that it would be great to have them be able to go straight to red mode. If you aren’t already doing so, I would make sure the light is always on the lowest white light setting when you turn it off so that at least for that moment on the white it’s not super bright (ours at HQ was on Turbo when I was just double checking all the functionality – ouch).
