HUSKY Rechargeable Dual Power Headlamp

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

You didn’t mention anything about the fact that it doesn’t come with any instructions, which is why I had to watch your video for almost 6 minutes to find out if that red light turns green when it’s fully charged

[@cfldriven]

Mark, I did show everything that was in the blister pack at 1:10, but in hindsight I should have mentioned it. Thanks for the input.

[@ginavenegas491]

I wish you would’ve said how long it took to charge

[@cfldriven]

@@ginavenegas491 Sorry about that, I just plug it in, and by the time I remember it fully charge. You can always use the light without having to wait for it to fully charge. Will make an effort to include recharge time going forward. Thank you for watching.

[@stephenlake885]

I watched because hooked to my cell adapter the light would only flash and realized not charging but getting a solid red light with wife's charger.

[@cfldriven]

@@stephenlake885 Glad we could be of some help, thanks for watching.

Have one ...but the rechargeable battery doesnt last ..once you charge it at the beginning it gives out poweful light after 5 minutes it goes from powerful to an ok ordinary light ..have to keep charging it to give out powerful light

[@cfldriven]

Sorry to hear that, I just ran a 15 minute test using the center and two upper lamps and did not see any difference in light output. Have you tried just using Alkaline batteries?

[@chevelleflorida]

I just read an article in Runner's World that indicated that most such lights decrease the lumens after about 5 minutes in order to save battery life. The assumption is that one's eyes adjust to darkness after 5 minutes and doesn't need it to be as bright.

[@changjiangliu5951]

You can adjust the brightness continuously if you hold down the bottom, which is very useful.

[@cfldriven]

Chang thank you for sharing this useful tip. With the exception of the red LEDs, holding down the button will dim all the other lighting modes.

FYI the rachet gear tabs broke off after a few months of light daily use. My Coasts made similar have lasted years.

[@cfldriven]

Thank you for sharing about Coasts, it a shame the ratchet is the weak point to a useful headlamp.

[@veronicap.mangham1348]

Thank you so much. I am Trying to see where the batteries goes.

[@cfldriven]

At the top of the unit there is a clip that will separate the light head from the back cover. Don't confuse with the piece that the head strap goes through, it is in front of that. Carefully lift up on the clip and separate and there is the battery compartment. You can remove the rechargeable battery and replace it with AAA alkaline batteries.

Thanks for sharing. Don't forget the lifetime guarantee! I love mine too!

[@cfldriven]

You are correct the lifetime guarantee is a nice peace of mind. Thanks for the view.

[@pauldouglas2824]

How long does it take to charge?

[@cfldriven]

Paul, good question to which I don't have an answer to because I just throw it on the charger after use and go about doing other things. At some point I noticed it is charged and I put it away. Sorry I could not provide a more definite answer. Thank you for watching.

[@leopoldomolina1763]

Yours is missing the eco mode, that is the spot but less bright.

[@cfldriven]

Leopoldo, the only time my spot gets less bright is after running it for 20 or so minutes. I just checked it and this eco function is not on my model. Thank you for watching and sharing this info.

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

What is a “seed” program?

[@cfldriven]

Good question, a product review program by Home Depot. It is by invitation only, HD choses from customers who submit product reviews. Thank you for watching.

[@aaronclaar8748]

Appreciate the detailed review 👍

[@cfldriven]

Aaron, so far the Husky is doing better than the old Duracell headlamp. Thanks for the feedback and view.

[@lodwill4007]

I love it. It goes dead fast if you use both same time. But I bought 2 . And nice when you want max light. Love it . . Sale. Lol loved that toooo

[@cfldriven]

Lod, congrat on getting it on sale. I used it while in the attic and except for the hard to find switches the light was great. The ability to go from spot to flood comes in very handy. Thanks for sharing.

[@mikimiki195]

Ratcheting mechanism is junk I have my fit six months I will have to return it it won’t stay in place it just keep dipping down

[@cfldriven]

Sorry to here your lamp has failed, this ratcheting mechanism is definitely something this type of light has a problem with. Thank you for sharing.

[@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath]

A free product can influence an influencer’s opinion, that’s why they give it away

[@cfldriven]

Mark, I'm sure there is some truth in your statement, but as mentioned in the video I do have concerns with the ratchet mechanism and how it could be a point of failure. For me whether I buy the product or it is provided has no bearing on whether I like or dislike the product. If you go through some of the videos on this channel you found products that I don't recommend. As you mentioned I too have come across reviewers who only have the kindest words for everything they review, these folks do a disservice to their audience, the product, and their self integrity.

[@11bravo18]

You're about a genius, eh? Some kind of electrical engineer, right?

[@cfldriven]

I just like toys, only wished this one was better built. Thank you for watching.
