This is my first head lamp purchase. Was more of an impulse buy after trying to change a car battery in the driveway.
Pros:
Very light weight, I can hardly tell it’s on my head.
It’s comfy, nothing pushing into or poking my head.
The button is easy to find and press.
The brightness on both levels is great (not a million lumens, or candle power), but lights up a large bedroom with no problem.
The strap is soft and stretchy, but not too stretchy. Pretty good quality, too.
Charged just fine via USB or solar panel (I didn't not evaluate how long it takes for a full charge via either mode.)
Cons:
There is only 1: when the light is in the bright mode, the LEDs are lighting up and reflecting in such a way that there is always a little sliver of blue light (looks like a lightning bolt) on whatever I look at. This is especially noticeable when facing white walls, or bright colored things. The farther I stand away from something, the larger the blue lightning bolt looks. It does kinda bug me, but not enough to deduct a star.
Overall, I love this little, handy light and the solar panel that charges it. I first charged up the headlamp via USB over the period of a couple of hours. Later in the day I plugged in the solar panel and the charging light came right on just from ambient light in my house. Cool! Very happy with this purchase.
Update Sept 2020
The light overall has been great, and charges well with the little solar panel, but the light portion with the clear lens has separated from the rest of the headlamp. I tried to super glue it but that didn't work well. Going to toss it in the trash. Was good while it lasted.
