We've been looking at upgrading our headlamps and came across these earlier today.

Reading the specs on their website has peeked my interest.

I've attached a photo of the lights

Has anyone tried them, if so, what are your thoughts.

Thank you

I like them. Good for general use IMO. I need more/focused/brighter light for blood-trailing though. But for the price pretty cool. Not sure where they website is, but I buy them on Amazon for about $15 each I think.

Just a basic AA powered headlamp that I've used for years.

It sure the brand, but I have one made just like that. I use it a lot for working in tight spaces. It is super bright and covers a large area. However, it doesn’t shine out far enough for my liking to use for hunting.

With that said, I do use it a lot and highly recommend one. I’m sure you’d find it useful and it may suit others better in a hunting application.

My Black Diamond Storm headlamp quit working right at last light climbing up a hill to recover an elk my buddy shot . I’ve got 2 of them. One good one one junk. I just spent $100 on a Fenix HM65R T headlamp. Rechargeable battery or two lithium batteries. I’m carrying two HL’s now.
