Looking for budget headlamp suggestions

The HB02 is much cheaper at BIC. It was added quite recently.

Though I bought mine at Banggood as well (before BIC carry it). It’s very nice to have 3 light options. I normally do C8 on top and UF S5 flooder on one side. But what others say is true as well, it is built a little tight.

It's in my wishlist awaiting some weak moments. :)

That looks nice, I wonder if it pulls out to zoom or turns out to zoom.
Looks like water could get in easily, also wonder about the quality of the plastic mount that holds the strap and light?

I got one of them here, i would not buy it again. Light output is ok, however i don’t like having 18650’s on my head. however, overall quality is not bad. but you only have hi/lo/strobe. and yes, it pulls out for zoom.
but there are better options imho. fenix hl50 (47:money_mouth_face:, skilhunt h02 (39:money_mouth_face:…i don’t like battery compartments on headlamps and prefer simple solutions. if you want budget, get a sunree 1aa or a nitefighter and put an xm-l in it.

Great to finally see some good options under $50

Here is a review of the Skilhunt H02, which can be had for 37$. (DX)

I just got the third one from Racr86’s 3 different headlamps list at 3 different budget headlamps - simple reviews and teardown

Some struggle involved, happy enough with it. Looks like it would work with that FastTech headband too.
