Sports reviews of Fenix Flashlight Headband (Fits lights with 18-22mm Diameter)
Customer Review: Fenix Headband for 18-22mm Flashlights Review
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I'm an enthusiast about flashlights and coolers. This includes an interest in headlamps. This is a review of the Fenix Headband for 18-22mm Flashlights. I try to explain in detail what qualities I take into consideration so readers can understand my reasoning behind the rating I give. However, if you want the short of it, skip to the conclusion.
There are several things that I look for when considering a flashlight. 1) Only flashlights that use AA or AAA batteries are considered. Those two batteries are the cheapest and most readily available batteries. Plus, in an emergency, I do not want to be scrambling for different types of batteries (C, D, 9V, CR123, or any other type of specialized battery). 2) The design has to be shock resistant and waterproof. 3) The longest battery life in proportion to the output. I would like an efficient flashlight. 4) Best combination of durability in ratio to size and weight. I look for the lightest and most compact lights that are durable, which is extremely important in headlamps.
I found that the Fenix LD20 met those standards exceptionally well and rated the flashlight a 5.0 out of 5.0 in a previous review. I soon began looking for a headlamp that had similar power.
The best headlamp I have is the Princeton Tec EOS, which was purchased over three years ago and has a maximum output of 50 lumens. I spent hours online and at the store to compare all the different headlamps for the best in consideration to durability, lightweight, batteries, output, efficiency, and comfort. When I purchased the Fenix LD20 earlier this year, the output easily outshone the other lights. Ever since then, I have been in search for headlamps that utilizes the CREE LED technology. Unfortunately, the headlamps with using CREE LED technology and having output close to 180 lumens took four AA batteries or specialized lithium cells. Either way, this left me with either a heavy set up or having to add specialized batteries to my stock of AA and AAA's. Fortunately, I found the Fenix Headband that utilizes my favorite flashlight, the Fenix LD20.
Positives: 1) The headband is as comfortable as the headband of the Princeton Tec EOS, which I considered to be the most comfortable band in my experience. The Fenix Headband can be set up with just the single, circular band around the head or with a second band connected to go over the top of the head. It was more comfortable for me to use just the single band around the head. 2) The Fenix Headband is fully adjustable. You can adjust the size around the head easily, the second band over the head, the position of the light mounts, and the position of the battery pack. 3) It comes with two flashlight mounts and a waterproof battery pack. The mounts have a rubberized interior so it can grip flashlights securely with out slips or scratches, and can rotate 360 degrees so light can be angled in any direction with distinct and locking incremental clicks. This also means you can set up a flashlight on each side of your head with different angles and directions for each light. 4) Everything appears to be of excellent quality. 5) When using the LD20, the Fenix Headband makes an extremely powerful and efficient headlamp.
Negatives: 1) One picky thing is that the Fenix Headband when set up with the LD20 is heavier than the Princeton Tec EOS. However, the power and efficiency of the LD20's output far outweighs the amount of weight added. If the Fenix Headband were any less comfortable, this would be a significant issue. I remain hopeful that Fenix will focus on a lightweight headlamp that uses the powerful and efficient CREE technology.
Conclusion: Overall, the Fenix Headband is a fully adjustable high quality accessory with excellent build quality, top-level comfort, and allows flashlights such as the Fenix LD20 (with a diameter of 18-22mm) to be used hands-free in the form of a headlamp. I would rate the Fenix Headband a 5.0 out of 5.0. My only wish is that the set-up could be more lightweight. However, this is not a problem of the Fenix Headband, but a result of using regular flashlights as headlamps.
