W. C. from Mass, USA gives it a 3.5 and says.. I have had and used this for about 2 years and am still on the first set of batteries. Build quality seems to be excellent and the product is very compact. The lighting is soft but adequate for illumination within about 10' on Hi power, maybe further if it REALLY dark otherwise. The headlamp is very light in weight and I find it is easy to forget I am wearing it. My only caveat is with the fixed angle design. Since this product does not have adjustable tilt, the design tilt is important and can be a nuisance under some conditions. For me, the illumination area when working within arms length is good enough on Hi but I find the brightest area is above where I need to look to focus on close-in work. As a result when on Lo the work becomes too dim to me. This is because I wear progressive lens glasses. I need to tilt my head up to focus on close work...which tilts the headlamp up and the bright area moves away from the work area. When using the headlamp as a walking light while camping I find myself needing to tilt the illuminated area up from its fixed angle to see further ahead. One would normally do this by tilting one's head back more than normal and looking down a bit. Again my progressive lens glasses make this a problem for me because they focus closer as I tilt my head back. If I am walking a distance I will move the headlamp further up on my head and thus raise the angle a bit. None of this should be a problem for those using no corrective lenses or single vision correction. But if you have progressive or bifocal corrective lenses you should consider a headlamp with adjustable tilt.
