Ledlenser, H5R Core Rechargeable Headlamp, 500 lumens, Advanced Focus System, Constant Light Output, Dimmable, Magnetic Charge System, Dustproof, Waterproof, Connecting System

After many years, I finally wore out my old H7R LedLenser headlight and ordered this H5R as a replacement. This light has some nicer features than my old light and is brighter and whiter. I have been buying LedLenser lights for many years and just won't buy any other flashlights. They are well-made and very bright.

This headlamp is really nice. I’ve had some cheapies that run on button batteries, but they were toys next to this. It’s rechargeable, the lamp swivels up and down, the focus can be broad or narrow, and the brightness is also adjustable. I’ve so often found myself holding my EDC pocket flashlight in my teeth so I have two hands free to do some little job. No more of that; this will come in handy, and already has a few times. Not cheap, but worth it if you need it.

I already have one the same model I purchased something like 2 years ago, the reason I purchased it that I was looking for the bright lamp with a Cold light temperature since things are more noticeable to work with as I use it for fine electrical soldering…. I was very happy with my previous buy, so I decided go and buy another one to minimize charging time between jobs. I got it now and was badly disappointed to see it’s not the same, the color temperature is actually warm, as you can see, when on top there is a projection of the older ‘version’ I got previously and at the bottom the new I got now.You can see there is a significant difference, and this is definitely not what I was looking for… so I kind of upset… really loved this one…Attaching for the refence pictures of the packages of the old version (right side) vs new one (left side) + light projections of the old one ( on top) vs the new I got ( at the bottom ) –the focus of the new one is actually offset as well vs the old one I have.

Very hard to find a new cord to buy when you lose it. Also, the cord uses magnets so if you are an off-road person it will not stay plugged in. This light is for homeowners that charge in their house, not in a vehicle.

This headlamp seems well-built. It's very bright, and I like that the dimmer is on a knob instead of having to click through different options to get to the one I want. It's also great that it comes with a seven-year warranty.The charging cable is almost ludicrously short. It's nice that it's magnetic, but its proprietary end means it can't be swapped out for a longer one, which is disappointing.Considering the cost of the device, it would be nice if it came with an over-the-head strap for a better fit. It's very frustrating when it starts to slip when I'm crammed into a tight space.Overall, though, I'm happy with it. It's a very useful light to have when working in tight crawl spaces, outside at night, or in the basement.
