Streamlight 61050 Trident Super-Bright LED Multi-Purpose Headlamp, Yellow - 80 Lumens

Well designed, excellent quality. Really appreciate the green light.

Update: In my original review I complained about the 'low battery indicator' which is a red LED that starts flashing when the battery gets low. The problem is that whenever the red LED flashes (about once per second) the output of the light dims... So it makes the light have a pulsing strobe effect which is very distracting and annoying.The problem for me was that the alkaline batteries that came with the light lasted a LONG time after the strobing started. Really annoying to use the headlight with it doing that... However, once those batteries ran out and I started using Eneloop rechargeables, it's not much of a problem. The indicator only starts when the batteries are truly nearing the end of useful charge (light has become quite dim) so it's not as bad.However if I used alkaline batteries I'd still give this light my original rating of 3 stars (or less)......Also, a warning about loading the batteries. The 3 batteries snap into a round cartridge which you insert into the body of the light, like many small flashlights. However, unlike any other light I've used, the cartridge is keyed with a shallow slot along its length that mates with a subtle ridge in the body of the light so that you can only insert it in at a certain rotational angle.It will start to go in at some other angles, but it will start to be difficult as it goes in and can get seriously jammed if you try to force it, then you have to pry it out to remove it. I did this indoors with light available the first time I tried to change the batteries so it was only annoying...Easy way to do it successfully is to hold the light with the hole for the batteries facing up, and lightly set the cartridge on top of the hole. Without pushing down on the cartridge (just hold it lightly), rotate it around slowly until it finds the proper angle and falls in on its own.Also the battery cap doesn't have much to grip and can be a real pain to try to unscrew if you put it on too tight because it's so slippery.Anyway, some things could be improved but I'm pretty happy with the light now that I'm using rechargeable batteries.---------original review:So at first I loved this headlamp... I got it mainly for working on cars and other things where I needed my hands free, but found myself using it much more often for all sorts of things. Seems decently made (nothing has broken), though it is plastic. 3 lighting modes provide options, and even the lowest is pretty bright. I liked it so much that I ordered another.But then I reached the point that the 'low battery indicator' started blinking. This red flashing LED is not a bad idea, but the problem is that the light output from the headlamp dims every time the red LED flashes, making a 'pulsing' effect. This happens about once a second. I've used the light for hours since the 'low battery' warning started flashing, and I intend to fully use up the batteries.So I'm left with this annoying flickering/strobing effect. Imagine trying to read or do something up close with the light flickering every second. It gets annoying. I guess it's there to make you waste batteries (or charge on rechargeables). I doubt there's a way to get around this 'indicator' but I'm looking.This headlamp would have been great (given the fairly low price) without the battery indicator 'feature,' but as it is I'm not sure I'd recommend it.

Only used it a few times but am satisfied with it and the price. Fits comfortably and accidentally dropped it from atop my ladder on the hard floor but works fine.

I would love to give this 5 stars. When they work they work great. My problem is they never seems to work long though. I primarily use these at home for storm power outages and the occasional late night chasing my dog through the neighborhood. Not a tough life for it. Yet they always seem to break or stop working when I need them most. It's not batteries or a worn headband. The housing cracks, the endcap that holds the battery in breaks off, bulbs die. I've had a couple. I use use their other products and am happy. Just not the headlamps. I won't buy anymore.

Burns through cheap batteries quick. Especially if using the spotlight alot wich I do. Does better with good name brand batteries. Other than that another great streamlight product, the only headlamps or flashlights I buy any more.
