mineralman55 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Posted December 15, 2016 Did someone say headlamps? https://www.shutterstock.com/search/large+breasts Okay, I'm bored.
Frenkelin Posted June 10, 2021 Report Posted June 10, 2021 I'm using Fenix HL60R and its working good. Its come with all free accessories, lifetime warranty and highly durable construction. Mostly I'm using it and I also have some smallest flashlight to keep backup.
Sisco Posted June 10, 2021 Report Posted June 10, 2021 So a 2016 thread. What new technology in headlamps in the last five years?

Its come with all free accessories, lifetime warranty and highly durable construction. Been using one that looks just like that. Several years of being stored in a vehicle and only seeing spotty use it has never not got the job done. I have had times it got used 4-6 hours a day for the week and never showed a decrease in light. Works whether coming from a 120 degree car or a -15 trunk. It is a bit heavy compared to others but I haven't had that be an issue, the head strap is well designed. 2 hours ago, DNP said: I don’t think he clicked the link. I did, those are nice head lamps as well but doubt I can afford the cocaine to keep that quality around and working anymore.

DNP Posted June 14, 2021 Report Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) Not much has changed in the technology of the original head lamps discussed in this thread. I’ve never really been a fan of that style, but I’ve fondled a few I could tolerate. Edited June 14, 2021 by DNP
98Z5V Posted June 15, 2021 Report Posted June 15, 2021 Best pound-per-buck, is just get one of the Energizer headlamps. I keep those things in go-bags, in cars/trucks - just so they're there. White light'/red light, 3 triple A batts. Can't go wrong with those thing, and get the highest Lumen one out there. They're cheap, and damn near foolproof.
DustBuster Posted June 15, 2021 Report Posted June 15, 2021 I got tired of buying stupid preppy Petzal headlamps that sucked, only because when I needed one, that was the cheapest at Cabelas or wherever.... Worthless pieces of crap! I came across these and I would recommend ALL of you switch to these. With my first one, I dropped it down an elevator shaft 4 stories on a hotel I was working st and if survived just fine. Nifty Tube cycinder for three triple As. Pretty damn bright. They say 80 lumens. Buy these you won’t be sorry. Keep this company in business for the next time I need to buy one.
DustBuster Posted June 16, 2021 Report Posted June 16, 2021 I just looked at the Olight Mini 1000 lumen, I would advise to not let that beam hit ones eyeball, it will burn through the retina and sizzle the brain I’d imagine. My stream light practically hurts if looked straight on

My stream light practically hurts if looked straight on You accidently hit a set of plans with 1,000 lumen and you are effectively blind for a bit. Gotten into a habit of looking up and away when I turn on headlamps now that they have become so powerful.

Cunuckgaucho Posted June 16, 2021 Report Posted June 16, 2021 One of the newer technologies is the use of USB charging , work supplied headlamps and flashlights have it. Keeping them charged/recharging is easy especially in a vehicle.

Had to fix that for you, brother... That's the newest thing, and it's pretty badass. Charges faster than other technologies, as far as I've measured.

Sisco Posted June 17, 2021 Report Posted June 17, 2021 I stock up on headlamps at the Home Depot seasonal displays at Christmas time. They offer about 6 different styles up to 700 lumens. Cost about $15 each. I buy 3 or 4 of the brightest ones, because a switch will break, a battery will leak, or a case will crack. When I get down to one that is working I stock up the next Holiday Season.

Biggest thing is that through magnetic, and the right (rated) cables, you up the amp charge - so they charge faster.

This one is made for that, brother - I use it at work all the time, but on my forehead, and not a hardhat. It's got some damn great runtime, and USB charging through a 2.5 Amp cable, so it charges back up pretty fast. MIlwaukee 2111-21

I have no shortage of light sources in the work van. From down to multiple flashlights and headlamps. Funny how when the power goes out the lights don't work either.

I hope it all works, and we're not STUPID as a country during that time. You have to go to Idaho, and get @Magwa. After that, you need to head west, and get to the northwest side of Seattle-ish, and you two guys need to CUFF-N-STUFF Roman. Against his own will. Blindfolded, gagged, hooded, and Chloroformed. Bag his ass, and DRAG him back down here...
