Cheap generic Chinese body - worth about 8-9$ in wholesale... Olight went low... :(

2AA > 4AAA

Indeed. Fenix headlamp look way better.

The world needs more and better headlights and this doesn't appear to be that. I'm shocked they'd come out with this. 4AAA is not good. And what's with the crazy levels/settings -is that a typo? 150-127-5-2 .. I don't get that

Oh, sorry, those were +/- the diffuser

Using this in a dense forest, will plant-life waving in front of the light result in automagical strobe? :rolleyes:

WTF is up with the mode selection??? Two modes of 5 and 150 lumens? Major FAIL. :ohgeez:

 

[florinache]

You can select the other modes, too. The 4lm red leds :). They come with strobe. Especially useful in the army, for the enemy's sniper. :)
What does " Non-contact gesture control function, with advanced infrared sensor set" mean?

Apparently you haven't looked at the pictures...you wear this headlamp on a helmet with dark sunglasses so you need 150 lumens to be able to see the light through the sunglasses. :)

Now you can wave at yourself to turn the unit on and off...so much easier than flicking a switch :)

I hope 4Sevens had nothing to do with this travesty of a headlight.

Oh, I looked at the pics. Do they honestly intend this headlight to be only for tactical users? Police, soldiers, etc.? Again, major fail.

An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it

:shrug: Looks like something worth 15-20$ on dealextreme.... do not want

Love the battery pack that would get in the way. Who thought this winner up? What a total FAIL. My Black Diamond Spot does everything this does for half the price and half the size. Who would look at this and think it was a good idea?

 

[Woods Walker]

So far I don't see anything I like here. No thanks.

I was joking by the way. I agree this headlamp is useless.

Black Diamond Spot does 150 lumens? And has 127 lumen flood beam? Wow, sounds great!

Olight H15 costs $80? The Spot costs $40, if you say Spot is half price, H15 must be $80.
