And i for sure was not man enough to ride my 600cc XT Tenere with me wearing a Pink Metallic Helmet. NoNoNo :person_facepalming:
To bad the helmet was to big for my girlfriend. She loved the Color.

Any man can be a father. A real man can be a daddy.

Never heard that saying before but I like it. My three daughters call me Papa and I love it

Sorry I don’t have any input to OP’s question. Never come across it before.

Yep. Maybe not that specific light but the band colors work…

And that’s why we have the “Maury” show… to find out who da baby-daddy!

Wildly Capable, Simply Comfortable … and gay- friendly, IMHO

Yeah because gay people have specific aesthetic taste don’t they ? :person_facepalming:

If you want to be swept off your feet by this marketing lingo, be my guest.
But I think there are better contenders in the market, considering the price level.
That’s $49 ($62) for one little light with a 900 mAh battery and 45 min. on max.
Plus $30 for shipping?

For that kind of money you can choose from multiple lights from reputable brands.
And have some loose change left for spare (batteries and frolic headbands) parts.

6600 backers who pledged $527,514 cant be wrong

It’s a free country, but I think the Pied Piper has added Lemmings to his m.o.

Does anyone really care what color the headlamp body and head band is at night? You can’t see it anyway

Awwww, I was looking for some pretty awful Chinglish… how disappointing.

Whoa! I could get like 30 Boruits for that…

Yes.

Question: While driving your car at night do you care about the color of your car?

I get some people have no inclination for aesthetics, that function always trumps form, but in an age where both can be had at the same time, why not? Now put in place the awkwardness of certain gear, i.e. headlamps, and you have the choice between what you consider ugly and what you consider beautiful. What would you take? What would you rather use?

Bob_McBob · 2018-10-29T18:05:51.000Z

I’d rather use whatever produces the best light and has the best UI and design. I’d still happily use my E21A Wizard Pro if it was painted pink and the headstrap had unicorns and rainbows on it.

Yes. Question: While driving your car at night do you care about the color of your car?

Wellp, when I got a few WK50s, and more recently some Wuben E3whatevers, I intentionally got Barbie™ Pink. This way, I could leave ’em around and they’d be much less likely to get swiped. Same with those “lipstick” 18650 power-banks. Hot pink. And hand-warmers. “Carnation pink”.

Those ’50s had a really nice satiny finish, though. Made ’em look like they were made of Grandma Candy. :laughing:

Get some nice shiny Manly-Color doodads, and you won’t be able to leave ’em around anywhere without wondering if they’ll still be there when you get back. Get ’em in Pepto-Bismol™ Pink, and they’ll sit there forever.

I’ve never seen anyone wear a headlamp as a fashion statement, but have seen plenty of people using a headlamp to light their way in the dark. I don’t consider my Zebralights either ugly or beautiful. They just work when I need them. But to each is own.

This thread was originally created for exploring options geared towards women and their tastes in a general sense. That doesn’t preclude Lightbringer from wearing pink or me wanting purple lights… or anyone else willing to wear whatever…

Wellp, I wouldn’t wear pink, but I do have a few purple S2+es fitted with UV LEDs, and a coupla purple ’501s (same).

Didn’t think about any chickies stealing my lights, though. They’d probably think them to be cute and swipe ’em anyway…

ActiveAl · 2018-10-30T14:46:38.000Z

I have a daughter that would love this headlamp.

Actually, it may become a Christmas present!
