Hi Guys

I’m involved with scouts in Australia and require a Headlamp for the first-aid kit.
The priority is Simplicity, Reliability and Longevity as this may be used in emergency situations.

Requirements;

Budget (under $35 USD)
Lumens >150
Longest Runtime as possible (to reduce replacing batteries)
Has Built in USB Charging port on torch

Please feel free to make any comments or suggestions regarding my requirements.
ps.
Was thinking of skill-hunt but really have no idea if is good for my needs

Sofirn SP40, was available for $17ish for the neutral white and $19ish for warmer tints. It’s got basically everything you’d want from a right angle/headlamp for a very budget oriented price.

1000 lumens too.
My only complaint is its ui

Boruit Headlamp Review D10 (aka. EHL0628) - King of the Budget Headlamps? LED Headlamps

Boruit D10 / EHL0628 [image] So I’ve come across this well-liked budget headlamp which I believe to be much better than the well-liked cheap Boruit RJ-02. The only review I am aware of posted on the web is a Russion review found here (translated via Google Translate). I decided this headlamp deserves its own thread, so here are some pics and a quick review. Doing some investigating I came to the conclusion this light is model #EHL0628 (EDIT - more widely known now as the D10), as shown in this…

This is currently my favorite budget headlamp. BUT… it doesn’t have USB charging and I wouldn’t use it without modifications. Unless they’ve changed it since it was first released, there are no stepdowns, so it gets dangerously hot. With custom firmware, however, the Convoy H1 is awesome! It looks like the UI has been updated, but not sure about the stepdown situation.

Ditto on the SP40 (review). Great headlamp for the price.
