Hypothetically, if one did have a dead body and some woods to bury it in, how would you rate this product. Just asking for a friend.

[@Conservator.]

Because the heat sink is close to the battery, I’d say max 10 bodies, but also dependent of your friends digging capacity and the consistency of the soil.

[@bigclivedotcom]

It depends on the hardness of the ground and depth of hole. You may need to use it on the low setting of it's going to take a while so the battery lasts.

The ir sensor function would come in very handy in this scenario when you hear that distant branch break underfoot and you need to go dark, nothing worse than fumbling with rubberised switches with bloody and muddy fingers that may trigger the strobing mode and the extra unwanted attention that might bring 👍

I actually like the cheap multi-led versions for use at work when crawling about under desks or behind rack gear. I scratch up the front of the "first set" of LED's with a file so they're diffused. You lose a bit of light power since it's diffused but soft wide light is great for most things I do at arm's length. The higher settings I leave alone so they stay as a beam. I think it also increases safety as well since I'm able to see more around me without being blinded by the beam.

[@michaelthibault7930]

Fiberglas brush run around the outside of the lens. Depending, the angle of the cone described by the pen body's path can vary the gradient of the fall-off. An alternative approach: soften the central section by placing, temporarily, a punch-hole reinforcement (think: sticky paper annulus) on the lens to constraint the abrasion to a neat circle.

[@michaelthibault7930]

Fresnel-izing would do it, too. Maybe there's a place (market) for a screen-protector-like range of beam customizing 'contact lenses'. Or, the manufacturers could supply the light with a fitted, removable skin. A little experimentation with clear silicone and a fresnel magnifier card is called for…

"...and burying dead bodies in the woods...and you know what, I've tried it." Careful, Clive - in some jurisdictions that would be enough for a conviction. :b I got a similar headlamp from Amazon about a year ago. Same housing, same skookum batteria, same trendy triangular pattern that everyone from the Royal Academy to my city's public transit system is using dyed into the headband. Different branding ("LE") silkscreened on the band, and mine has a pair of red LEDs instead of the IR pair, making it better for stealthiness in the woods. Nice to know that some chance purchase receives Clive's stamp of approval.

[@jfan4reva]

This would be the perfect head lamp for a coworker of mine. He rides a bike to work and wears a vest with reflectorized strips on it. He discovered this week that if he walks past our drinking fountain wearing his vest, the reflective strips set off the water bottle filler sensor. If he had one of these all he would need to do is look at the drinking fountain to set it off - lol!

[@Blitterbug]

My wife bought me almost the same model for Fathers' day. On mine, the IR button switches on a pair of red LEDs. To get IR mode you hold down the main lamp button for three seconds. I can confirm excellent battery life and the beam being annoyingly high when the hinge is closed.

[@skildude]

I have one like that but clearly an older model. Mine doesn't have a recharger, the turn on detector, or flashing mode. However, the strap on mine has an over head strap that prevents the light from sliding down onto ones face. Mine also has that weird angle on the straight out view. It is a decent thing to take with you in your car in case you need to repair something in the dark.

We have some of these. They are fantastic.If you VERY long press the right button on ours, it lights up red leds which are underneath the white ones not integrated with them. a second press flashes the red leds.

Got two of these torches, bought from different places. First one, despite being described the same as yours, turned out not to have the infrared on/off mode. Instead the two 5mm IR LEDs are actually standard red visible ones which toggle through off, on and flashing when you operate the second button. The main beam operates as yours does. The second one I got looks identical yet it does have the IR on/off mode. I actually find that feature is quite anoying as I sometimes get the wrong switch, in the process enabling the main light, and then do something while working which causes the beam to turn off and leave me in the pitch dark. Oh and I agree this is a really nice little head torch and lasts ages.

Cool little headlamp. I am getting a bit up there in age now, having just passed my 68th year, and my vision seems to be getting a bit foggy. My optometrist says I shall, one day need to get my cataracts removed, but the VA says not till they are much worse. So in order to see well when soldering, which I do A LOT now that you have taught me proper soldering techniques, I found a head lamp to use. I got an older unit, it has one large LED and two smaller ones, one on each side. It is powered by 18650's, a battery I have a large supply of, the result of tearing apart old laptop batteries. It works fine but I need to check my batteries, as some of them do not offer very long before they die, whilst if I find good ones, they last much longer. I have yet to discover why the hell the Chinese think everyone in America wants that damn strobe! Man drives me NUTS! I despise it and ever blasted flashlight I have purchased seems to have it, while a few have the SOS feature, I fear that an SOS would probably not be responded to any more, as most folks would think it just some idiot didn't make the last push on his flashlight. I was surprised to see that my headlamp must be designed for bicycle riding, as it has a red LED on the outside back of the battery pack which is on the back of the unit to counterbalance the headlight I guess. This sort of reminds me of the large head light my father had for the use on our farm in the '50's, it had a large tin container that clipped on your belt, held 4 D-Cell batteries, then a cord lead up to the light which was rather large with a big reflector and glass lens mounted on a tin base and an elastic band for the head. It was very bright, dad used it for night time chores around the house, and for taking care of predators that raided our hen house, he was quite good at blasting the critters with his .22 caliber target rifle. Since we had no power on the farm, the headlight was very nice indeed, we also used it for late night toilet needs, lite the way to the little brown house out back, if you know what they were, plus you could read that catalog with it till the work was done, and a page from the catalog was used to clean up.

This is the type of thing one might want to keep in the glove box of their car for emergencies. The glow-in-the-dark buttons is an unexpected touch that shows somebody somewhere along the line actually _thought_ about a detail like that, and they didn't toss that idea in the bin to save 1/100th of a penny.

if the 4057 uses the same programming resistor formula as the 4056, which seems likely given that 2k, its I(BAT)=1/R(PROG)x1200. the usual Rprog resistor in power banks is a 1.2k which gives charge current of 1A, 2k gives 600mA, 4.7k gives around 250mA, 10k gives around 125mA in practice the charge current always seems to come out about 10% lower than the formula predicts tho

[@themeachmeister]

This headlamp is similar in some ways to one I purchased about a year ago from Amazon and use for camping. They look too similar to not have some design connection. (Herobeam model HB008) Its still available on ebay & amazon. Mine has a wide 3W COB and a spot XP-E. Either one can be put into hand motion mode. The spot has 4 modes High/Low/Flash/SOS but the nice feature is after a couple sec you don't have to cycle thru all to turn the light off. Its very tempting to open it up and see how it compares to yours but I want to keep using it for now. :) Not sure battery size, not listed in specs.

The auto mode is very annoying though, particularly if you're using it too look into confined spaces so I never use that feature, also don't look at moving components as that causes a rapid on/off/on/off strobe effect!. The button cover on mine also glows in the dark (for some reason), but I can't see that being useful as you can't see them when it's on your head!

The angle of that beam is only just a step up from a laser pointer!

Mr Clive, I recently built my own headlamp using the LED out of a cheap 1000 (?) Lumen flashlight and a cheap incandescent headlamp from Harbor Freight, 2 18650 laptop cells, and a 1 amp charging circuit from ebay. I wired in the led directly to the 3.7 volt cells, using a piece of brass from the old flashlight as a heatsink. Have used the light a couple of times with no problems... So far... My question is this, should I have someway to limit the current going to the led? Will the setup I'm using shorten the life of the led? Would love to see you "Build the Perfect HeadLamp" someday!!! Would be fun seeing what you come up with :-) Thank you sir for all your work/fun video's !!!

[@bigclivedotcom]

I'd recommend using a resistor between the lithium cell and LED. At the fully charged 4.2V it could be pushing a lot of current through the LED. The resistor choice will depend on the power rating of the LED and how well it's cooled.

Looks like XP sized led, kinda looks like Cree XP-E or some Chinese variant of it, my suggestion would be to swap it with something better like Samsung LH351D led, you will get much better beam out of it plus since the LH351D has bigger die the beam wont be so focused.

Is big Clive endorsing the burying of dead bodies with a light like this? He said "the burying of dead bodies" then followed that with "I suppose you could use it for that" so on big clives recommendation I should get this light to Bury dead bodies! Thanks for the endorsement on your advice I'll give it a go👍

I’d use those yellow work lights.

Can you do a review of the petzl rechargeable one paid 70 quid for mine and can't fault it though 2 friends who bought the same one as me have had major battery capacity problems like not charging at all .

[@barrybritcher]

Wow haven't seen them since the halogen days when you had to load 6x aa in them for an hour's light.

[@Geethreeohm]

@@barrybritcher still own a couple of the older ones as back up , can retro fit with rechargeable packs now.

Ok I just searched with "usb sensor head light torch headlamp headlight lamp rechargable lumens fishing" and found the same listing though the price is now £7.08. Still ordered one.

A friend is someone who helps you move. A good friend is someone who helps you move a dead body..........I have three good friends.

[@tubastuff]

[@GroovyVideo2]

[@tinkytinca]

Big head or Helmet?

It seems to at least genuflect in the direction of waterproofing.
