Everbeam H6 Pro Headlamp

Once a gamekeeper, an angler and astrophotographer, a good head torch has proved an invaluable piece of equipment.My first head lamp was a small Petzl which was £35 and had a dire maximum output of 30 lumens! It also used 3 AAA batteries which was a nuisance as you were always left with an odd one.Though reliable and having excellent battery life I dropped it once on a wooden floor and it literally flew to pieces. Looking for something much brighter and more robust I bought a Fenix at around £50.This had excellent light output rated very conservatively at 375 lumens, ran on 4 AA batteries and boasted all aluminium construction.Now Fenix have become an established name their prices are more commensurate with their impressive build quality.After years of use the very stiff cable of the Fenix broke and I was looking to replace it. What I wanted was a durable, comfortable, lightweight lamp with a usefully bright output and a good battery life under realistic use.The Everbeam H6 Pro meets these criteria easily at a very keen price. It also offers some very useful features missing on many head lamps. Firstly the addition of two small red LEDs.I can't understand the marketing saying "they do not disturb wildlife" as they are far too dim to spot the wildlife anyway.However as anyone who has turned up to a star party with a white light only to be told they are banned will attest, a dim red light is absolutely essential for reading star charts or adjusting a telescope.It also has a red strobe mode which strangely gives a shorter runtime at 20 hours than the continuous mode. Secondly unlike most budget offerings this light uses a 1200 mAh Lithium-ion battery which can be charged via USB in 3 hours.I wish that like some Nitecore lights it was possible to power the light via a USB power bank with the possibility of huge battery life. The details on this lights performance are scant even on the Everbeam website.Though it boasts a rating of 650 lumens a look at the small print reveals this is an internal test not an ANSI rating.There is no rating at all for what they call low setting which I find dubious.I would estimate this is around 100 lumens and have no reason to doubt the claimed 10 hour duration.There is also a powerful white strobe mode. I find it telling that the almost identical Nitecore NU32 is rated at 550 lumens and using a larger capacity 1800 mAh battery runs for one hour while the H6 pro claims 100 extra lumens for 90 extra minutes from its smaller 1200 mAh battery.Something just doesn't add up.To be fair the NU32 is close to 3x the price! Unlike more high end brands there is no indication of the breadth of the beam which is enormously important to different use cases.I found this light typical of most small reflector types in having abroad beam with a slight hot spot and a useful throw of only 80-100 metres at best, short of the 126 metres claimed. It is also woth noting that this light has a waterproof rating of IPX 4, this means it is "splashproof from any angle".The manufacturers video irresponsibly shows the light immersed in water, only advisable with a rating of at least IPX 7 "immersible up to 30 minutes".Closely watching the video is seems the demonstrator is holding his finger firmly over the vulnerable charging socket to make this stunt possible.If waterproofing is really vital look for an IPX 8 rating "waterproof to 2 metres continuously" This brings us to the generous 2 year guarantee which might sway some buyers.Another look in the small print reveals this only applies to the admittedly robust ABS body of the unit, all the internal parts including battery and LED are only covered for 3 months! A feature which will grab many peoples attention is the ability to switch the light on and off with a wave of the hand.This will be genuinely useful to stop dazzling people you meet while dog walking , fishing etc. but only works on full power. Finally this light comes with a quite sturdy zip up case very similar to one sold as a $7 option with Fenix lights.This makes an ideal place to store the supplied USB to micro USB charging cable. Though I may seem negative about this little light, you can tell I am a bit of a torch geek and it represents outstanding value and will be all most people will ever need.

This product is amazing. The motion sensor mode is great for doing things where you need both your hands. Its durable, has a variety of light modes. The dimmer light saves battery and is great for when you dont need it super bright but at full brightness its very powerful and allows for great visability. The carry case is small and perfect for camping or for keeping in a coat pocket. Good for late night walks or for working on cars. Really smart looking and exellent value for money. The adjustable strap works for all head shapes and sizes. Great product and cant beleive how great value for money it is!

Bought this headlight to replace my old headlight which frankly wasn't too bright. I use this for work and it does the job. It's difficult to explain what I do but I work in shipping loading and unloading trailers, containers and tanks off ferries (It's actually called a RORO Ferry). During my duties, I have to place four locking pins in holes on the decks of ships which aren't much bigger than the pins. Some of this is done at night with limited lighting and I'm driving a non road going HGV so I'm around eight or nine feet above the holes looking down. My old torch wouldn't light up the holes but this one does-and it does it very well. I do have a couple of niggles although I could be nit picking. The stated run time for this torch is two and a half hours on maximum (there are two light settings as well as strobe). I would say that the actual run time is closer to one and a half hours-maybe two-but not the two and a half claimed. Also I have tried the sensor setting. This means that a wave of a hand would turn the torch on instead of using the buttons. This sensor is far too sensitive and any sort of motion either of the users head or something in front of the user will switch it on. This can get a little tiresome-especially at night-as I drive off road HGV's and the torch would turn on at random. But as I said above, this could be nit picking. Pros. Very bright. Easy to use. Comfortable to wear. Cons. Run time may not be as advertised. On/off sensor too sensitive.

I use this primarily for winter morning and evening dog walks, but also for jobs in the loft, under stairs cupboard, and anywhere else a bit of hands-free illumination would be good. First thing to say is that it is very bright on the highest setting. Very good for the great outdoors where the beam will reach quite far. Indoors, the brightest setting is sometimes too bright for a close work light, so I knock it down to the dimmer setting. The recharge time is good, and the battery life on full brightness is acceptable given the power of the beam, and it's good when you use the lower power mode. The hands-free on/off does work, but it's not something I use much. However if you have a use-case where you are going in and out of a dark area or need to regularly look at others without blinding then it would be useful. This is because the standard operation cycles through bright, less bright, flash, off. So if you need to regularly switch it off and on, the hands free mode would save clicking around. This will fit most heads except the very largest, and it's ok comfort-wise. The lack of an overhead strap means it does move down on the forehead if you run with it or shake your head vigorously. The unit can be tilted and holds in place at the chosen angle with no issues, although a sudden quick movement can cause it to move sometimes, particularly if you break into a jog/run. The beam angle range goes from straight ahead to angles suitable for lighting up the ground in front of you. The protective pouch is a nice touch, although I don't use it for storage, just hang the torch up near the coats! It's done well so far and is saving a lot of money spent on batteries as I had to with previous headtorches I had.

I bought this head torch for my partner, mainly for when we walk the dogs at night but also for work, he’s a builder and sometimes struggles to hold a torch when he’s working in dark, small spaces. The torch comes in a small round zip up yellow case, the torch has an adjustable elasticated strap so it fits snugly on his head. The torch is extremely bright for starters, like very, very, bright I was actually surprised just how bright it actually is when my partner turned it on for the first time, it lights up a large area in front of you and the areas to the sides in front of you too so you can see everything you need to at night. The torch has easy press buttons on the top to turn it on and off and it also has a really clever sensor setting too. If you press the top left button it turns blue and the torch comes on, when you wave your hand in front of you the torch will turn off and on as required which is really useful if you’ve got your hands full (I’ve shown this feature in the video I’ve uploaded with the review) The torch beam can be adjusted while on your head, it can point straight ahead, but you can also tilt it downwards through a 50-60 degree angle so you can see in front and below you. Really have got no complaints, it charges by usb, has a 30 hour run time and also looks good. You won’t be disappointed 😊

Bought for dog walking and it’s perfect. I can easily see where I am going and the ease of having both hands free when walking 3 dogs is a joy. It is well made and very easy to use. I haven’t used the dim, flash or red modes whilst out, I only use on full power. I have now used in all weathers - rain, snow and fog – it certainly changes visibility, as the light is so close to your eyes, but the option to angle down really helps. It fits around the outside of my coat hood which is a blessing as it turns itself off inside my hood. Water hasn’t affected it. I charge after 3 walks as there isn’t enough charge to do 4. Charging is quite slow, about 3 hours, but this doesn’t matter to me. The Lumens are correct - it is brighter than my mini Mag. With the angle I set it at I can see directly in front of me and clearly for at least 50 metres. It lights almost to the other side of the field. The beam angle is wide (4-5 metres either side). I didn’t think I would use the sensor but it has been useful, especially when I stop to talk to someone as it allows me to wave in front of it to quickly turn off and not blind them. I was initially worried about the strap being too tight and causing headaches, but it hasn’t as at. It is comfortable to wear and doesn't slip or move. Can’t fault it

I have a number of older headtorch that use standard batteries, and to be fair, they do last a significant amount of time, but the straps are getting a bit worn and scratches on the lenses. Doing outdoor pursuits it's always wise to have at least two sets of torches with you as I have had some fail or experience battery issues. This model looks like a no brainer purchase, it's a reasonable price considering what you could pay, almost 20,000 sold on here alone, I liked the fact that it's up to date with a rechargeable battery and it has the motion sensor, two important features, I have only tested in the house so far but it certainly seems bright enough, most have the red led features which I find handy as a backup for my MTB rear light.. so all in all it should be a great upgrade and in the long term save me buying replacement batteries, these are just a great devices for DIY, hobbies, walking the dog at night, anything really.

Had this torch a few years now been excellent cannot fault it. I ha vs used it for walking and for jobs in dark corners it lights up brill well worth the money

MAXでの明るさでは長時間使用できませんが、価格を考慮すると十分にお勧めできる商品だと思います。

Bisher war ich ein Fan von der ebenfalls preisgünstigen, ausgereiften Petzl Tikka, aber das Bessere ist nun mal der Feind des Guten. Der wichtigste Vorteil der Everbeam gegenüber der Petzl ist der eingebaute Akku anstelle von Batterien. Man spart Geld, Umstände, zusätzliches Gepäck (das Handyladekabel hat man auf Reisen ja ohnehin dabei) und außerdem ist die Everbeam dadurch leichter. Bisher benutze ich die Lampe lediglich als rotes Rücklicht bei der morgendlichen Radfahrt zur Arbeit. Nun sind schon recht viele Wochen vergangen, ohne dass eine neue Aufladung nötig war. Eine gute Idee ist die stabile, hochwertige Aufbewahrungsbox die sinnvoller Weise eine kräftig gelbe Farbe hat. Im höheren der beiden Weißlicht-Modi ist die Lichtstärke wirklich beachtlich. Der schwächere, energiesparende zweite Modi dürfte bei der nächtliche Anwendung zumeist ausreichen. Diese Lichtstärke reicht sicherlich auch für Läufer und Jogger. Ob das Kopfband für diese Anwendung fest genug ist, kann ich als extremer Sportmuffel lediglich abschätzen - ich vermute ja. Für 19,99 Euro ist dieses Gerät absolut empfehlenswert. Ich empfehle der Firma Petzl dringend, sich ebenfalls mit den modernen sehr leichten Akkus zu beschäftigen. Um eine gute andere Rezension hier auf Amazon aufzugreifen: Wozu gibt es diese Blink-Modi? Ich dachte bisher, sie seien wenigstens energiesparend, aber in der Anleitung dieses Gerätes sah ich überraschend, dass Blinkmodi keinen niedrigeren sondern höheren Energieverbrauch haben als der Dauerbetrieb. Auf diesen Bewegung-Sensor könnte ich ebenfalls verzichten. Ob man nun mit der Hand vor der Lampe einen Wink macht oder den Knopf drückt, ergibt wohl gerade einmal einen Zeitunterschied von einer halben bis viertel Sekunde.

J'avais besoin d'une nouvelle frontale afin de rouler le matin en hiver pour aller au travail... J'en possédait une autre achetée 15€ mais d'une luminosité insuffisante. Pour plus de luminosité, je me retrouvais en face de très (trop) grosses (donc lourdes) frontales, j'ai donc opté pour cette Everbeam qui annonce 650 Lumens et j'en suis pleinement satisfait !! La portée, le faisceau (assez large avec une zone centrale plus forte) et la luminosité sont parfaits pour mon trajet d'environ 10 km en pleine nuit ! De plus, la sangle confortable et le faible poids font que je ne la sens presque pas ^^ En bonus non négligeable, le rechargement via mcro USB évite d'avoir à recharger un lot de piles ! En un mot : parfaite ! Livraison soignée et plus tôt qu'annoncée : je recommande !!

This is an amazing head lamp! It has a very long battery life, it is easy to adjust for size and it even has a nice function where you can wave it on and off without touching a button. Most importantly it is more than bright enough for doing commercial jobs.
