Cobiz Head Torch Light Rechargeable -5000 Lumen Zoomable IPX4 Waterproof Walkers Head Lights, Headlamp for DIY Workers, Camping-Black

This was bought for dog walks in the winter and also for the husband when he needs an extra light for 'handyman' work. On both fronts it has functioned well. It recharges via USB and the battery seems to last well - I don't think we have had to recharge it since we got it about 6 months ago (although equally it has not been used a huge amount). The zoom function of the light works well - more relevant to my husband than on dog walks. There are differing levels of brightness that can be 'toggled through' by pressing the button on the unit - the lowest setting is perfect for walks. It is a little heavy on one's head but I think they all are due to the battery packs - it is perfectly manageable though. We've not tested it in the wet yet - I will update this review if we have any issues on this front.

Needed a head torch for working in remote locations in Winter. This is excellent. Long battery life and exceptionally bright means I can work for hours instead of minutes. Because the using has the batteries in the head unit, it is a bit heavy, but you adapt to that. The battery pack does make putting it on without whacking yourself in the head a bit awkward, but, again, you adapt.WHat I have not been able to find is the 'zoom' function. Sure, the bezel rotates and unscrews by make little, if any, difference to the beam pattern. No matter, it works, and that is important. Best of all, its a USB charging system, so I can top the batteries up as I drive from job to job, and as the batteries are lithium, any chance of an early death through the memory effect is virtually non existent.If you want a great head torch and don't mind the weight, get one of these!!!

Quality of the head torch is good. However it is let down by the beam angles of the light output. Wide angle is not as wide as my previous head torch and the narrow beam just projects an image of the led bulb, which is not very helpful. Only comes with a usb charging lead, but does have a nice storage case.

I ordered two of these head torches, they arrived promptly in a nice case and work very well. If I do encounter any problems over time I'll update the review.It is a relatively light torch and well balanced. I haven't used it enough to comment on battery life but it runs on two 18650 batteries which could be easily replaced or swapped with spares if needed. The torch is bright, not quite as bright as a cree LED torch I own but not far off and the beam goes from very wide to a fairly tight square beam.On one of the two torches the mechanism to zoom the beam was very stiff and at first I thought I'd bought a non zoomable torch but mistake but this already seems to be getting looser with use. The other was perfect.An excellent buy, would recommend!

Got this head torch for camping and it's very bright. I mainly use it on the second brightest setting as the first is very bright. You can zoom the lens so that the beam size is changed. There is also a strobe function which is very powerful - great for tent raves. The head torch itself is not too weighty. The straps can be easily adjusted. The batteries sit at the back of your head which balance out the bulb's weight. On the back there is a red light and a charging port for the batteries which is handy. Comes in a cute and handy carry case

Bought this head torch for dog walking primarily and I'm really happy with it. Fits comfortably and securely with the extra strap over the head. The torch itself is very bright and lights up the path to a distance of at least 50 metres. Dog quickly learned to follow the beam but the only trouble now is that dogs walks take twice as long because she can easily find new things to sniff. I've rated the battery life five stars in anticipation of it being good but I have to be honest, I've yet to see just how long the battery really lasts. Will probably use it for biking too as it has an extra red light on the back though not that bright.

Very bright, would easily illuminate 12ft+ On its highest setting. It also has a lower power mode and flashing setting. In a pitch black field the low power mode was bright enough to illuminate an impressively large area, however I use the high power mode for my dog walks. It’s also standing up well to rain so far.Battery lasts a long time, a fair few hours on its highest setting. There is plenty of adjustment so it will fit the most Mellon like of heads and it’s fairly light so comfy enough to wear.Would recommend it.

Torch didn't work at all initially even though I charged several hours first. When I opened the battery compartment the batteries fell out. This appeared to be due to both small springs on the negative side of the housing being fully compressed flat and therefore not making contact with the battery. I used a small screwdriver to open these out so there was enough "spring" to enable it to hold the battery and make contact. This solved the problem and its now working well. I am actually pleased with the torch as it fits well with plenty of adjustment has easy to use on/off switch, good illumination and decent battery time. My only comment really is that is poor quality control to send out like that and doubt if it was tested in the factory before shipment. I would understand if some people would have returned but it was an easy thing to fix.
