1.) Excellent Light
Reviewed by: Tool Guru Grass Valley,CA USA
Rating:
This is my first review that I have written but have appreciated the many reviews I've read prior to purchases. This is a great little light. I used it to run my telephone and cable connections under my house. It provided excellent light was fully adjustable for any angle needed and weighs very little. I did not notice any diminished intensity for the several hours of use. I would highly reccomend this light.

2.) Great for attics, basements, camping

This is a very light and comfortable light to wear, and it's great for when you're climbing the ladder up into the attic. There's no lighting in our attic, and I went up to check the insulation. After a minute I bumped the shoplight I brought up against something and it died. Would have been pretty awkward getting out without this headlamp. It also has 3 brightness levels so you can conserve your batteries and avoid blinding people when camping.

There are lots of headlamps. I've owned many of them and use them extensively in Florida's hurricane zone. If you're a hiker/jogger, this one is NOT for you as it's heavy and will slip forward on your head. If you're working around the home, your car or boat, this is the one you want. It's the brightest. You can choose 3 levels of light/battery drain. It's simple to use. It's uses standard batteries. Some use non-standard batteries. Some have so many options, you have to have the manual to use them.

I used the Septor headlight this last '06 hunting season and it was everything I expected it to be. Excellent lighting, comfortable positioning and exceptional performance. I hiked many miles with it and it kept me safe. I love the three settings from dim to brightest. Easy to find when you set it down in the field to due to its bright yellow coloring. Excellent buy!

I bought this headlamp for my father for father's day last year, and it is absolutely the best thing I have ever given him. He uses it all the time, in crawl spaces, drop ceilings, working on cars, fishing at night, you name it. He likes the three adjustable illumination settings, and the brightness of the lights on the lamp. He also says it's very comfortable to wear. I would highly recommend this as a gift for the man (or woman) who likes to fix things.

No matter how bright a room is, when a computer is opened, the computer case blocks most of the light, leaving dark shadows. Once adjusted, this headlight gives you hands free concentrated light just where you need it. Most computer wires are in dark places (under desks or behind cabinets), with this you can see the color of the wires and where to plug them it. I have had this headlight for almost a year now and it is still working well.

This is really a great product. I received the headlamp one week before the electric was cut off due to Ike. I walked around the house doing everything as if the power was on. It adjustable to what ever angle you want the light. The elastic strap works great around your head but I haven't figured out how to work the rubber one. Last night I was in Walgreens and saw a headlamp in the hardware section for $6.99 that was similar to this one but not made as well. I may buy one.

Agree with the other reviewer, everything is excellent about it, except one point: the tilt mechanism is rather flimsy. Then again, it's not meant to last for a life time I suppose. The price just dropped right after I received mine in the mail today! Such is my luck :) Great for what it is. By the way, I had two similar lights from Costco and Wal-Mart, this light is about 10 times brighter with the same weight and far better fit on the head. The price is not that different. Good deal. I use it when cleaning my camera sensor and stuff. Very helpful.

I work road construction, and this has been the year of the night work. I have an LED flashlight, but it was a problem with rummaging through a tool box, or trying to fix a generator to get the light plants up and running. I did see a few cheaper headlamps at the local hardware store, but decided to check amazon.

I came across the Streamlight 61052, and decided to give it a try. The build quality is excellent, with gaskets for the battery door and lens surround. I immediately got the product out of the package and attached it to my hardhat, batteries installed I was out the door.

I arrived at the project, and almost forgot I had the headlamp on...I peered into our job trailer straining my eyes for the equipment I needed, until that little light came on above my head...literally!

The three brightness settings are one of the greatest features of this lamp, the choices are:

1 press= 1 Led
2 presses= 3 Led's
3 presses= 7 Led's
4 presses= OFF

Even with only 1 Led lit, the area in front of you is filled with brilliant white light, and with all 7 on, you feel like its noon! I would highly recommend this headlight, to anybody needing a little extra light for any activity. I personally cant wait to try this thing outside of work, maybe for some fishing, or camping!

It's a real pain to tie that Palomar, Blood, or even Trilene knots in the dark. Sure, it can be done--but there is also that risk of putting the hook in your finger!

For my purposes, which is working on my model railroad, this headlamp is a huge plus. What more can I say? Well, I can say that on a late return route of a hiking trip I put it on and it was great for lighting the path ahead.
I want to point out that I wear bi-focals and when doing close-up work I had to tip my head back to my shoulder blades to get the proper alignment. Not good Tonto, get bad hurt. The answer? I bought a pair of drug store reading classes of the correct power and it worked perfect. I carefully selected the Septor and very glad I chose this model with the LED's and the 3 light levels.

I agree that the strap should be a little stronger but the light is bright and clear. The only time I couldn't aim it where I wanted it was when I was working overhead, though I suppose I could have just put in on upside-down? I like the three settings for brightness and I especially like that it uses AAA batteries and not some of the more exotic (expensive) sizes that other lights require.

22.) Great Buy
Reviewed by: Cesar Navarro

I bought this because i was going to be doing some work in the attic. The work required running wires and so i was moving around a lot up there, and relocating a work lamp soon became really tiresome.

This was the perfect solution. The 7 LED lamps are bright enough to light up my entire workspace and the surrounding areas. Also, the adjustable angle on the lamp is a great feature to minimize neck strain.

The padding on the light where it rests on your forehead is a little thin. Also if you plan on wearing it for long hours in tight hot environments where you are likely to sweat, it starts to get a little itchy. This is easily fixed by wearing a bandana or baseball cap flipped backwards though. But if its for quick jobs of under an hour, its comfortable enough that you wont notice its there.

I have purchased this product several times from several places - things get stolen or broken in construction. The rubber strap works pretty well on hardhats (as designed) until 3-4 months later. Then it gets a little dirty on the 'softgrip' pad, and tends to fall off the hard hat.

I've never used the strap that comes (as a bonus to me) for use on the bare head.

The light lasts a LONG time on one LED usage, and on any setting is plenty bright with new to mid life batteries.

I have used so many headlamps over the years I have lost count. Everyone of the previous ones had one thing or another I did not like. (Not bright enough, undependable, runs batteries down when not in use, has 4 different settings when only one does what it is supposed to, "provide ample light" and on and on.) This one has 3 useful settings. The dimmest one is bright enough to work with, the brightest one is very bright for those hard to see places like working under a car in a very tight, dark location. I have no need for the shop lights since buying this headlamp. It is easy to use and is easy to clean up, adjust angle, adjust straps, etc.

I bought a headlamp from HomeDepot earlier this year to extend my winter work days. I liked it a lot but it wasn't as bright as I needed. So I searched the net for the the brightest headlamp. The SEPTOR came up as a top contender so I decided to take a chance on it. I was very pleased when I received it. It is very bright, more like a good flash light then an LED light. The headlamp is bigger then others but the head strap is very comfortable and I have found it not to be a problem. The extra light is a good trade off.
I haven't actually measured the battery life but I use the lamp at full power and change the batteries about every 2 weeks. (probably 10 hours) It will run longer but the light starts to dim and I prefer to have it as bright as possible.
Overall it is an Excellent light.

Reviewed by: Captinjack central PA & WV
Rating:
I've been using these lights commercially for the last 6 yrs and they are reliable and provide a good light with good battery life that is measured in weeks of use everyday. They only take 3 AAA batteries.

I especially like the two style head band straps; one for hard hats and one for that fits over your naked head.

I use one of each style of head band as I use them almost every day and the changeover is somewhat of a pain.

They aren't the smallest or lightest on the market, but I can not imagine a light that is more reliable. I would recommend this light to anyone. I bought one of the lights when they first became available and my clients would snicker and ask if I was a coal miner. Now they are common as can be in the utility power plants that I consult to. It seems as if everyone has a head light and these Stream Light are the most common among professionals.

The only negative is that they don't give you much warning when the batteries go dead. It's full brilliance and then 60 seconds after noticing that it isn't as bright as it was........it's dead. This is no biggie for me as I buy my batteries by the case in all sizes and I keep them changed out often. I'll use a digital volt meter and change the batteries when they get down to 1.3 vdc from the full 1.6vdc when new. Stream Light also makes a very similar head light with 3 LED's and a central incandescent bulb that is only good for gauging battery life. The incandescant light will dim noticeably when the batteries get low, but the LED's are still bright.

I really like this headlamp. It's well-made and powerful. I had intended it for hiking and for occasional use around the yard at night. But I have found that it's excellent for all inside home repair work. Working under a sink, for instance. No need to hold a flashlight or set up a lamp. I've used other headlamps for home and auto work but the brightness and endurance of this one make it a better experience.

I once owned a headlamp which was in the class of a toy, not enough light and a junky switch...I tossed it. This Streamlight is far more expensive but it does everything I want.

I had been using a light that had only one LED and it just wasn't bright enough in some situations. I work in the electrical trade and both hands need to be available to work and lighting is usually nonexistent. This light is like stepping outdoors in the middle of the afternoon! It has three levels and almost always I am on the low one. Another great feature is the push button on switch. My previous light had a rotary switch and took both hands(usually dirty and greasy) to operate. It is a little bit hungrier for battery but given the illumination that's understandable. This is a great product, worth the price, and my coworkers all want one too.

Received this as a Christmas present in 2008 and was initially disappointed thinking 'great, now what will I do with it?'. An hour later I was setting up the new Wii machine and used the headlight to illuminate the sockets behind the television, then again when crawling under the furniture to access wall sockets, then again for something else. Over the last year I have used it practically everyday when flossing the kids' teeth, for atmospheric reading of bed-time stories, or walking the dog on winter nights. I also travel with it and have taken it to Africa 6 times and camping in the wilds of Sudan without it failing. Being an unashamed geek I have even used it on transatlantic flights to read with - I realize it does not enhance my looks, but does not disturb other passengers with the overhead light. In short this headlight gives very good illumination using 1,3 or 7 LEDs, battery life is very good with very little fading of the luminosity as the batteries get old. I can not compare it to other similar products, but I have found mine to be robust and amazingly useful.

I use it for doing electrical work in my own house, in the attic, or working on things in the garage up-close where intense light helps make the job easier. Works very nicely. Overall construction is very good, especially the battery compartment. Battery weight (3 AAA's) is about as heavy as you can get without the light sliding down your nose.

My only suggestion to the manufacturer would be to offer single-push-to-off button along with the existing 4-cycle (off, low, medium, high) button. When I only need the low (1st) or medium (2nd) setting, it's annoying to have to push it 1 or 2 extra times to turn it off. Thank goodness I don't have to cycle through a flashing/hazard setting!

I've recently replaced a headlamp that I used for many years. This is my first LED one, and it's great. At first I was skittish about the dual straps. But they work well. Comfortable, adjusts to my odd-shaped head, and holds in place. Light weight. Well made. High grade plastic. Rubberized bumper protecting the lens. O-rings on all removable covers. One of the best designed battery compartments I've seen. Has a slide out module in which you easily load the batteries. Pop the whole module back in and twist on the cover. The twist-on cover even has "Close" and"Open" marks, so you know it's positively seated. Three intensities are handy. Positive on/off switch. I use it when working on engines or inside electronics cabinets, when I need a directed light, but also need both hands free. My only neg: The tilt mechanism uses a plastic rachet and spring mechanism. In my expereience with similar designs, the plastic spring breaks if you repeatedly adjust the tilt. If it had a metal spring, definitely would be a 5.

Note added 12/12/2009. Although I still like this light, there's an even better Streamlight model for about the same price. See my review on the Streamlight 61301 Argo C4 headlight.

59.) Bright, fits nicely, but light diminishes quickly
Reviewed by: Comp USA
Rating:
This is a nice unit, with a claimed 40 lumens of output on the highest setting, 20 lumens on mid, and about 8 lumens on low. Upon initial use, I found the high setting to be massively powerful that could easily blind my eyes if looked into directly. However, this high output was short lived -- lasting less than an hour. The unit has declining light power output as the batteries die, this will sneak up on you in a very ugly way if you need to use the light in the field and don't have immediate access to swap the batteries.

It's pretty clear why output isn't so long -- with only 3 AAA batteries powering the unit, it's too small. I would've liked to have seen 2 AA, or even better, 3 AA batteries powering the unit. This would allow for more MAHAs output; AAA's are quite puny in output compared to an AA. In fact, you can get 3x the output from one AA over an AAA.

The unit does fit comfortably as it has the middle band, preventing the whole thing from running down your forehead. I bought this to do night gardening and yard work, so I'm actively moving about. The previous headband light I had from Energizer didn't have the middle band, so was always slipping down.

The light beam is very wide compared to my energizer headband. Although this may seem good, sometimes it's a little too wide for my tastes. This is as the low setting becomes much too dispersed and weak to do any detailed work, so I have to put the unit on mid or high setting. This of course compromises battery life as discussed earlier. It would've been really nice if some kind of focal adjustment knob was incorporated into the unit.

So overall, this isn't too bad of a headband light but a little disappointing. Make certain you have a set of rechargeable AAA's available. Something like Sanyo Eneloops would be good, as they have decent energy reserves and can sit idle for a long time without discharge.

I used this 3 times within the first 3 weeks I bought it. It's quick to get ready instead of stringing extension cords and drop lights for relatively quick jobs. For me it's HVAC and cat 5 wiring projects. It works well. There's 3 levels of lighting. I wear it with a ball cap so the weight of the battery pack is not an issue. It stays with me so I don't have to juggle a flashlight and hand tools. So far I'm pleased.

As a telecomm tech,I'm often faced with ceilings which made it the main reason for me buying it in the first place.After I received it the very next day I was faced with running cable in a ceiling which as anyone could guess was all crawling and laying on the stomach.The light was great and not once did it dim in three hours.I think if you were to put it on a chld's head it would not be a problem it's that light in weight.Great light but I never give anything 5 stars.

The bulb on this headlamp seems too heavy for the elastic. No matter how much you tighten the elastic, the bulb seems to slip down to the bridge of your nose. I finally remedied this situation by putting the light on a baseball cap. The bill of the cap keeps the bulb from slipping. The light is very bright and clear, though, and the fact that you can angle it up or down is very helpful.

72.) Decent headlamp but not durable or dependable.

This is a decent enough headlamp but after only about 10-12 hours of use the switch went out leaving me in the dark for the remainder of my dog walk.

Hands-Free Lighting
Weighing just 4.72 ounces, the Streamlight Septor LED Headlamp fits comfortably to your head with the included rubber hard hat strap, leaving your hands free to perform electrical work, set up a tent, look under the house, consult a manual, and more. You can use the Septor Headlamp anywhere you use a regular flashlight, but you'll have both hands available to perform the task at hand. This headlamp produces 50 lumens of light with seven LEDs, 25 lumens with three LEDs, or 9 lumens with one LED. It has a run time of up to 150 hours on three "AAA" batteries (included).

The Advantages of LED Technology
An LED is ideal for lights that are used often and over an extended period of time. You don't have to worry about breaking the light, since there is no glass or filament, and you rarely have to replace LEDs because they can last a lifetime. Save time and money on batteries as well--they will last much longer with an LED than with a regular light bulb.

Seven LEDs Provide Bright, Powerful Illumination
The Septor Headlamp uses seven, super-bright, 100,000-hour LEDs, so you'll never need to replace a bulb again. Protected by an unbreakable polycarbonate lens, the seven LEDs provide 50 lumens of light for distance illumination. You also have the option to use three of the LEDs for medium range lighting or a single LED for short range lighting.

Push Button and Tilting Head for Convenient Operation
Designed for convenience and ease-of-use, the Septor Headlamp features a push-button switch at the top of the unit for quickly turning on and scrolling through the settings--first illuminating one LED, then three, and then all seven. The head tilts down to 90 degrees, reducing neck strain and allowing you to focus the light as needed.

Durable Components for Extended Use
Made with water-resistant thermoplastic construction that is virtually indestructible, the Septor Headlamp comes with an adjustable elastic head strap that wraps comfortably around and over the top of your head or cap for a secure fit. A rubber head strap is also included and ensures a nonslip grip for hard hats.

The Streamlight Septor LED Headlamp is backed by a manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty.
