Hi all

I found this on the DX deals page. Is it a good deal? Is it a good headlamp?

I guess it depends what you want it for tbh.

I’ve been looking at headlamps recently and I don’t understand why for many uses you’d want to strap 2x18650’s to your head?

And without wishing to sound rude, only a complete wanker would design one with a strobe mode?? I mean what use does that have on a headlamp??? J)

I wonder if the low is low PWM ruined too, if so it’ll make it useless for close up work.

That said, it might not be bad overall, just some major flows in it’s design conception as far as I can see.
