Cree Q3 3-Mode LED Zoom Headlamp (3 x AAA Batteries)

• Pros: Powerful w/zoom & 2 brightness levels. Lightweight so it doesn't slip down the forehead. Straps adjust to a large head.
• Cons: Zoom slid too easily when I looked downward until I put a bit of glue stik on the slider. Almost anything sticky would work.
• Other Thoughts: The Star Cree Q3 Zoom Headlamp is a fantastic value at $7. On high, it's far brighter than my other 3 Watt headlamps. On low, it's perfect for reading in bed. The zoom is a great feature, offering a perfectly round floodlight that morphs into a tight, very bright, square spotlight. It took a month to arrive, but was well worth the wait! It's perfect for all indoor use, like housecleaning and repairs, and bright enough for most outdoor activities. NiMh rechargeable AAA's save you money.

• Pros: Bright, appears to be made well and is easy to operate. I especially like the easy ability to change the focus from a wide beam to a narrow one.
• Cons: At full focus (narrow beam) the LED is projected like it would be in a projector.
• Other Thoughts: I like it. It is engineered well and is of good quality.

• Pros: This is my main headlight. I used this the most because it's brighter and it's also adjustable. I like the orange ring around the light; it lights up because it's transparent.
• Cons: The adjustable is not as smooth. It requires a little pull and push.
• Other Thoughts: The headlight is a little thicker than the most headlight.

• Other Thoughts: I bought this for my boyfriend who is a commercial crab fisherman in Alaska. He has had it for about a year now and still loves it! He said I could not have found a better headlamp then this one. All of his co-workers and friends have purchased it and use it both for work and pleasure. You would be surprised with how much you actually use this, it is a must have in any household.

• Other Thoughts: As a air conditioning and heating contractor we have used several different lights to free our hands while servicing equipment in the dark. This is the best we have found. They put out more light than any of the others we have tried.

• Other Thoughts: My husband's original "Nerd Light" (the name he gave it) broke, so searching for a new one was a bit of a challenge, as once he has found an item he likes and is comfortable with, it isn't easy to replace. This light happened to be superior to the one he originally owned, and he is VERY pleased with it! So if you're looking for a good "Nerd Light" this one is everything it claims to be!

• Other Thoughts: I bought the headlamp for my fiance. He loves it. It is so handy. You can work, hands free. I would recommend this product.

• Other Thoughts: This headlamp is super good and the best bang for your buck. I got this to do a night hike at Half Dome and it was by far the most powerful as others in my group used 4 led petzel's i reverted to the back to light the pathway up for everyone!

• Other Thoughts: I live on a large piece of property with animals in the back that i often have to go visit at night and need my hands free. This is easy to put on, stays on, and provides me enough light to see them and to watch where i am going.

• Other Thoughts: I had been using a light that had only one LED and it just wasn't bright enough in some situations. I work in the electrical trade and both hands need to be available to work and lighting is usually nonexistent. This light is like stepping outdoors in the middle of the afternoon! It has three levels and almost always I am on the low one. Another great feature is the push button on switch. My previous light had a rotary switch and took both hands(usually dirty and greasy) to operate. It is a little bit hungrier for battery but given the illumination that's understandable. This is a great product, worth the price, and my coworkers all want one too.
