Energizer LED Headlamp

February 12, 2008 - By Gregor Rohrig


This review is about a headlamp. Yes, a headlamp. Headlamps are gadgets too you know!

Is a headlamp worth an actual review you might ask? Well, I think so. I used to have the Energizer LED Headlamp stored away in the boot of my car. The idea was that if I had any sort of car troubles at night (i.e. a flat tire) I would be able to fix the problem in the dark, using both my hands, with the LED headlamp shedding some light.

Shedding light is exactly the reason I am writing this review. The shedding of power is currently a major issue in South Africa, and I have resorted to stocking up on batteries and candles for when Eskom decides to turn us off. The other day I could not find my torch when I was left in total darkness and proceeded fetching my headlamp from the car. It was indeed a wise decision, since I was able to finish the braai I started and setting the table. The headlamp seems to be the perfect tool during these dark days.

The LED headlamp which I use is lightweight, comfortable to wear, and very, very bright. It does make me look like a lost mine worker, however who cares about looks when it is dark anyways. The body of the light is made of plastic. It includes a 2-point headstrap, which is easy adjustable. The headlamp takes 3 AAA batteries that should last up to 50 hours, making this a very cost effective, useful, unit.

So let’s get the technical mumbo-jumbo out of the way:

  • 3 Hi-Power LED’s w\Magnify Lens.
  • Two White & One Red LED Light
  • Three position slide switch.
  • Comfort-Fit Headband.
  • Made with tough ABS plastic.
  • Runs 50 hours between battery change.
  • Shatterproof lens.
  • Directional light.
  • Hands free.
  • Light weight and compact.
  • LED light never needs replacing.
  • Uses 3 AAA Batteries Included.
  • Lifetime warranty.

Happy shining…
