Video Review: Xtar Warboy H3 18650 Headlamp. Lumens, Runtimes, throw, & Comparisons w/ other headlamps.

Is £32.23 the regular price at Gearbest? What was the sale price? Edit; just spotted DEL’s edit :smiley:

I’ve only seen $49.99 USD as a price.

Wow that’s a steal!

Excellent review.
Never seen myself as a headlamp user, but your review has definitely piqued my interest

I really enjoyed the video.

I just can’t decide if I want to get one or not. I’m about to pull the trigger on the Solarforce L2E. It’s larger, but it takes P60 drop-ins and can run 2x18650s.

It’s a nice affordable headlamp with decent runtimes. Thanks! Headlamps are useful when camping and you need free hands… Working and you need free hands… Or biking. Despite what you see me doing with it in the video, I would much rather go for a walk with a flashlight.

It’s super cheap right now at that above link. Probably won’t be that price again for a while. The BLF way is to get them both! Thanks for the kind words!

Well, if you just go out and walk a dog, then yes, but for, lets say, hiking, IMHO it would be much better to use headlamp and have flashlight on your belt for occasional trail checking in the distance.

I would find it weird to walk around the city with headlamp :D!

Did anyone measure the lens on it?
I’m asking so that you could put frosted film on one for flood and leave the other clear for a bit of throw.

Googling didn’t yield anything.

I didn’t measure it. I’ll try in a day or two when I have time and see if I can the head apart.

Yeah luckily no one was around when I was shooting it! I agree it’s for camping and hiking mostly- that’s what I use it for. Also working on things.

Just when I convinced myself to pull the trigger, the sale ended. :frowning:

It’s $49 now. I’d take it at $30, at nearly $50, nope.

The sale ended really fast :smiley:
Guys, would you recommend this light for night running?

Doh, i missed it again :frowning:

So I jumped up and down outside, and it stayed in place pretty well. It does have a slight bounce to the rubber holder in the front but the light does not pivot, so the beam stays where you put it. I think it would probably be ok.

Please tell me you have an affiliate link on your website. You sold this to me.

I’m sorta slow with the affiliate stuff, but I just updated the post, and included a link. There’s one here too, if you’d like me to get credit for it.

It’s up for sale again at gb. Between this review and that price it’s pretty unmissable :slight_smile:

Gah! I was going to get the Lumintop SD75, but there’s several other lower-cost lights I want to get. If I don’t get that one, I can get this one… Decisions, decisions….

Just wanted to say that I pick one of these up. & I did so almost entirely because of the excellent video review. Thank you

Glad you liked it. I think adding both beam tests helped visualize the differences.

Came back to this thread to check out the spark’s beamshot. I think the side by side shots on the wall are brilliant, worth a thousand words!
