Really good rechargeable LED head torch.

I've looked at quite a few LED head torches, but this one has such good functionality for the low price that it's almost (but not quite) perfect.

The battery capacity test is ongoing and will be updated in the description when complete.

Quite hard to find on eBay due to the high number of similar products, but it's available with an orange case which narrows down the listings.  Target price is around $6.

Really good rechargeable LED head torch.

I've also received an orange one with different circuitry and two modes. I've still to analyse and test it.

Big Clive

Battery is 1200 mAh, "slimmed" circuitry with just one chip and some R's and C's. New version I think. The stuff arrived today.

Oops! It HAS a SOS mode. I just did not press long enough......

Hub Rijcks

Well what can I say.. Ordered this after the review and it was delivered today. The LiPo is genuine 1200 mAh, but with no protection. The circuit board was...let's say...a little bit empty. Just one chip-wich-does-it-all and some other components. The head lamp has only two modes and is very bright. No SOS mode :)). Sensor mode works! I think I bought a "slimmed" version. Chines are good at this.

Hub Rijcks

got one today ....never used the US ebay site before just the UK one , but this time l saw it was shipped to UK free so l ordered it last week and it was delivered today....tested it and really like the sensor feature ....not sure whether the SOS is actually SOS as it seems a bit fast...mind you l was always sh1t at reading semaphore , and light flashing when l was a boy scout so whom am l to argue...anyway l thank you for the take down the ebay link and to say l never ever bought from China on Amazon and Ebay until l joined your streams ,now they are my first choice unless l am in an urgent hurry Thanx Clive keep on with the vids and hope Juan has sorted out his problems and a shout out to Kevin from the MBC

3:30am? I'm hungry for knowledge from you at any time of the day or night.

Andrew Donaldson

Oh I had to order one of these too. Seven dollars and change yeah I like this one finally a keeper for my tool box. I tend to have these given to me by "regular folks" and they always look really interesting but then suck to use in real life. Thanks man!

Stock Android. It was the PayPal payment notification for the head torch I'd just ordered.

Big Clive

Unfortunately, the general consensus is that a vaccine is 12 to 18 months out at best.

Jeff Groves

I noticed a lot of stuff I have ordered in the past couple of weeks is being give a heck of a long delivery window. Damn Covid-19.- I just hope they can get a vaccine out pretty quickly and in sufficient quantities .

Mike Hughes

I had to rewind and listen for the tone again to make sure that it wasn’t coming from one of my devices!

Jeff Groves

Estimated Delivery: Mar 24 - Mon, May 18. Yes, I ordered a couple too.

Roland Roberts

Sounds like an Android notification sound. Forgot which brand... Maybe Samsung?

When you say the name of the seller there is an odd musical sound. Did you add that on purpose or was it just a random noise?

Mark Trombley

I just ordered 3 for a total cost of $19.11 and I got this note: "You should get this by May 20". I think the boat trip will be plenty long enough.

Jeff Groves

Hey, I hadn't thought of UV. Gotta make me something before I get Corona (virus or beer)!

UV-C, Alcohol or BAC-50 :)

Wash your hands for twenty seconds and get in all your nooks and crannies. Bleach wipes for the bathroom on the outside. Anything shipped from china takes longer than 9 days

Cerity

The case looks similar, but the LED arrangement is different. Interesting to compare though, albeit the Nitecore is somewhat more expensive.

Big Clive

Sounds great. However, what can we do to disinfect them without destroying the circuitry?

Found them on Ali Express as well: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32815191600.html The description is hilarious in places: "It just can use for rain days, but can't use diving." - Perfect for the UK!

Stephen Eyles

Looks like they blatantly copied a Nitecore NU10. I could have bought 4 of these though for the same price. I wonder if the Chinese think we live in a lawless society because they always include a strobe mode.

Paul Malloy

Just ordered one, time to watch the video now :)

Daniel Rotskas

I feel like this was directed at me - already browsing for head torches for camping... Just over $10AUD. Do an update when you replace the led with a higher power warm white and as bigger cell as you can jam in :)
