By the end of last #winter I'd ordered this #LED #headlight to be more visible, and see my surroundings better, on my #dailyExercise walks here in northern #Norway.

Silly me forgot to order an #18650 #battery to go with it though, so it had been lying unused on a shelf.

I recently finally ordered a set of #18650cell(s), and today they arrived. Happy to report it's working well :D

Lights can be controlled separately and have 2 brightness modes + flashing + SOS mode.

Build quality looks decent for its price, though I do wonder how long the plastic tilting mechanism will last…

I haven't actually tried it outside yet, nor do I have any long-term use experience, so I can't fully endorse it yet.

According to my order history it's the #XANES 700LM #XPE + #COB #LED #HeadLamp, and #BangGood currently has it for $6.20 USD at 58% off.

Pretty satisfied with the light output on the spotlight of my #Xanes #LED #HeadLamp :)

Not that great IMHO to have it on while walking when it's pointing a bit down at an angle though, as the tilting mechanism isn't *that* sturdy and it will bob up and down a bit more than just from tracking my head movements, but it definitely is useful to shine into the distance or to have a better look at something.
