Jetbeam HC20

cistallus · Nov 14, 2014

Just saw the Jetbeam HC20 headlamp. 800 lumens, XM-L2 T6, Inexpensive, less than $35 - and even comes with a 18650! Over-temperature limiting, and can insert battery in either direction.

Drawbacks to me:
- Apparently no CR123 support, only mentions 18650 and nothing about voltage range.
- No low - "low" is 70 lumens.
- The squarish LED part looks like it extends out quite a bit, looks like it might bounce or rotate down in use.
- Has an electronic switch, wondering what parasitic drain is.

I've been told it bounces hard.
And it's pretty ugly

But the price is good...

Price is indeed good. But no moonlight mode, plus a weight/length that will be tough to manage without the top strap....

Looks like it comes with a battery? That's a good price. If used as a work headlamp, then the lack of a low mode is OK. It looks like something you could throw at somebody and cause some real damage. Jetbeam should have marketed it as tactical headlamp. LOL

I just purchased one of these, I did not buy it to run, play swat or what ever tactical means to you. I got it to work on machines in somewhat dark areas and still maintain the use of both hands. I purchased it because it was durable, had a long battery life and a top strap was included.

I am completely happy with the lite! I would and will do it again.
