I've had my eye on this headlamp for a long time, and a recent sale combined with an immediate need got me to buy it. I am very glad that my wait is over! The headlamp is well made and provides several different types of light and degrees of brightness. The setting with the second longest battery life is medium brightness with a spread beam. I find that this is plenty of light for me while doing electrical work inside dark boxes or in the attic or basement without other light sources and the headlamp runs for 8 1/2 hours on that setting. The low brightness with a spread beam runs for 31 hours, but it's a bit too dim for me in most circumstances. There is a high brightness with a spread beam setting as well as a high brightness spot and a high brightness spot combined with a spread beam. I haven't found a need to use those settings yet. The headlamp comes with a USB charging cable but no wall adapter, so I use my iPhone's wall adapter. Charging the headlamp from something less than 50% to full charge took about 2 hours. Plugging the headlamp into one of the USB ports on my computer took overnight, so I wouldn't recommend that. There is a fuel gauge that briefly lights up when the unit is first powered on, and the gauge also indicates the progress of re-charging, although the meaning of the colors of the gauge is different for battery consumption versus charging. The data sheet included with my headlamp was out of date, so I got an updated one from the Milwaukee website which correctly described the meaning of the colors of the fuel gauge. I've only worn the headlamp directly on my head so I don't know how well it works when mounted with the supplied clips onto a hard hat.Read full review

This is the best I've used. I'm electrician and I use mine mostly on low light and it sufficient for my needs terminating. Night time outside the bright lumins helps me see any obstacles. On full power use I charge every day. On low every three days. I save money just in battery replacement. Great light. Love it.

Great quality. Comes with everything, plus a longer usb cord than the first one I bought at the store. I was originally looking to buy just the battery but it is just another $10 or so to buy a whole new head lamp. Will buy again when needed.

This light has multiple intensity levels that allow you to vary the output based on the task you're performing. If you need a lot of light to do outdoor chores, there is a flood setting to cover a wide area. If you need a more narrow and focused beam, just press a button. The battery life, as a brand new unit, lasts 2-3 hours easily when used on a medium intensity. This is outside at temps of 15-20 F. The highest setting definitely uses power up quicker, but I can still get 1-2 hours easy. It would be nice if a separate charger with an extra battery was available to keep a spare handy, but I did not see that as an option in the paperwork. All in all, it's a great light for a decent price.

Pros Headlight has nice features. Separate mode button and on off button Light is very bright Cons Light gets too hot on higher modes Light is too heavy, should be a 2 part unit with light in front and battery on back of head Battery goes dead too fast on high brightness modes
