Liteband ACTIV 400 Wide-Beam LED Headlamp - 210° Illumination, 400 Lumens, Lightweight, Weatherproof, Rechargeable, USB-C, Red LED Mode - Camping, Running, Hiking, Fits Hard Hats, LBA400-L18K, Khaki

I waited to review being I have 12 $10.00 headband all made the same LEDs burn out after 3 weeks but the Liteband has held up the 1800ma could be upgraded to the 3800ma that’s on the 1000s but for at home use it’s fine. I’m doing the 1000s review next

In the winter, my evening dog walks are in the dark. Holding a flashlight in my hand to pick up poops was getting annoying, and in my search for a head mounted light, I found this style of head mounted light. This was my second product to give a try as the first one died fairly quickly.While I got this to help with walking the dogs, i've found various other uses for it along the way.I really like the spread of the light. I don't have to position my head or fiddle with the light to get the light to shine where I need it to. With the light spread, I can look around without having to move my head so much.I have a large head and this easily fits it. The battery on the back is a little awkward but I get used to it pretty quickly. What's really nice is the battery connects to the light via USB-C with a standard connection, so any battery with a USB-C cable will work fine. I have portable packs that will fit in the elastic strap holding the battery so I'm not tied down to the included battery. This is great because you're not left with a dead device if the battery dies.Speaking of the battery, it does have a flaw. There's no indicators on it. So while charging, you get no charging status. I've just been trusting that if I plug it in overnight, I get a good amount of time to use it before the next charge.Overall, this is a great light. It's comfortable. It's versatile. And it's usable. Definitely worth the price.

Very comfortable to wear extremely wide angle light source. Long lasting battery usb-c passthrough type. Unfortunately the USB c plug is not complete. It will not charge from a proper USBC port only from a usbA port.To clarify it will only charge from typeA to typec plug. Does not charge from a type-c port with a type c to type c cable without adding an extra adapter.However the light itself can be directly powered from USBC cable&portThe battery will not charge from a quality type c plugDon't let this discourage you this is an awesome light.

I bought the Liteband Activ 400 for my son - for his Boy Scout camping/hiking trips.It comes with a rechargeable battery and has several settings - a range of brightness, flashing and red. The spectrum is perfect for his needs - covering any situation he might find himself in while outward bound for several days at a time. For example... * bright - night hike, caving, locating a lost item around his campsite * mid - setting up camp, meal prep * low - locating an item inside his tent, being identifiable by other campers in relative close proximity * flashing - being identified from a distance if he’s gotten separated * red - if he’s in a hazardous situation or in need of helpOut of all of the equipment that I have bought him over the years, a new headlamp seems to be the most recurring. Hard to say what he does w/ them. I just know that they don’t seem to work very long, stay intact nor cover all of his needs.Key to this utility is its comfort and reliability. He’s reported and I have verified through my own use that the LiteBand is quite comfortable- you hardly notice it. Furthermore, the construct seems quite durable and the design reduces the risk of breaking. Unlike the typical headlamp that is designed like a unicorn - w/ the light protruding from the forehead and bounces around w/ movement, the light source is flush to the band, so there’s no protruding bouncing object to constantly putz (sic) w/ nor BREAK. It’s really a great design.He’s already put it to the test twice - on both a dry and wet weekend, and he loves it. In his own words, “it’s like having a setting sun at my back at all times!”.What more could ask of such an important utility to accompany him away from home and out in the wild.Nice work, LiteBand.Yours,Father of a bonafide Sun King

I bought this because I thought it looked interesting for a headlamp - I got it sight unseen with nothing but specifications listed, no reviews were listed at the time. I was not expecting to actually go through a significant effort of reviewing a product of this type. However, I have changed my expectations now that I've had a few weeks to use it. I'm reviewing this product because I'm truly impressed with the design.Firstly, the comfort of this is second to none. I work on my own vehicles and bicycles, and it is nice to have light directed exactly where I want it. Unfortunately, most headwear lights are bulky, and I frequently bump them on what I am working on. This not the case with this product. In fact, the only thicker component of this is the battery pack - and you can move it around to where it is optimal, based on your work environment. They truly thought of everything with this in the design.Not only that, but the brightness of this is remarkable - as you can see in the photos, this puts out a lot of light. You can cycle through different modes of white and red. The battery life is great. I haven't put it through the test to see how long it lasts on a charge, but it is more than enough for me - I charge it between uses.Looking into finer detail, I was really impressed with is the retroreflective logo. I frequently walk in the dark, and have almost been hit by cars on multiple occasions. When I wear this, I am visible - not just from the front where the light emits, but from the back. It is peace of mind for me to be seen by cars when I cross dark intersections, especially now that the days are quickly getting shorter as we go into winter, here in the northern hemisphere.This is such a comfortable, well-thought product. If you're looking for a great light, look no further.

I was disappointed that it didn't give all that much light. Would not buy again.

Works great for in close work

There are two features that I really like 1) the diffuse, wide angle illumination is excellent for working with your hands in cramped spaces, and 2) the connection between the lamp and the battery has a standard USB-C connector which means you can replace the provided battery with any USB battery.A disadvantage is that due to the big battery, it's heavy compared with ultralight headlamps like those made for running. The battery on the back of the headband tends to pull the headband down. However, thanks to the USB-C connector, you could replace the stock battery with a smaller one or use a long USB-C cable and have the battery off the headband.

Used this headlamp for my hardhat,literally expands your field of view in extremely dark areas.Highly recommended!

this product gives off a very bright light and met all my expectations. Good product.

lightweight, fairly bright… (should have gone for the brighter version) but it’s bright enough for the tasks, and last all night if needed 👍🏽👍🏽
