Todd, can you test pistol grip rechargeable spotlights?
Dude every time I need a tool, you already covered it!!! You’re the best thank you for the effort you put into these. I hope it’s as fun for you take make these as it is for us to watch!
I have a petzl head lamp. Very light
Battery is quite good. Bright too. 70£ not cheap but can absolutely wear it in 100% comfort. It doesnt boing around. Folds down small. No elastic on the strap
where is the Olight headlamp? @Project Farm
Great video as always!My favorite is the rechargeable bushnell headlamp. It’s been perfect for what I do in the oilfield. I only get ones with a red light because it helps keeps the bugs away if your camping or night fishing
Can you do a flashlight video handheld
like i said for the money WURKKOS AND SOFIRN ARE THE BEST FOR WHAT YOU PAY FOR AND THEY WORK PRETTY GOOD AS WELL SO IF ANYONE LOOKING FOR A GOOD HEADLAMP YOU WILL LOVE THe WURKKOS AND SOFIRN BRANDED LIGHTS FOR SURE
Unfortunally you do not show the best Fenix one for this money, at least here in eu you get for 100€ a fenix hm75r and this one is much better, than hm71r. lighter, opportunity to clip another battery to gain power, also to use as power bank and usabillity, you can change modes by turning the switch and safe presets by pressing a button. may be you want to check this one, im very happy with mine
Hi Todd, have you ever thought about finding out which is the best cordless trouble/work light?
I think that would be a popular one.
Black diamond , petzel
I’d have loved to see what mine comes out at, it’s the nitecore HC65 UHE

False. It is not « absolutely awful for an 18650 » because capacity is always lower for a cell that is built to provide higher current output.
What IS true is that a 1200 mAh cell which is maybe built to provide 20A is a bad choice for a flashlight that probably pulls 1-2A. But the cell itself may not be bad. The fact that it gave quite accurately the capacity it is rated for os actually a better sign than thos who advertise 3000 mAh and cannot get close to it even at 1A discharge rate.
Olight=trash didn’t last a year wouldn’t charge
Sorry it’s taken me so long to finally put together this review after so many requests! If you’d like to see another review with additional brands, please let me know. The links to the products teste are below, but please check out the video description for more details. Thank you and best regards, Todd

well anyone who spends over 40 or 50 dollars for a headlmap is crazy and need to give there money to poor people if there that stupid so yeah all you companies who have headlamps that cost 100 dollars are crazy and need to be slapped in the face to wake up and reolize some peoples rent cost less then some of these headlamps
Great review. Was there a reason why the more basic headlights like something from Energizer was excluded? Thats my everyday dog walking headlamp but doesnt come with any batteries… Soooooo based on your rechargeable battery test I got some PowerOwl Batteries!
Thanks for always providing so much great information!
Good Test but where are the lamps from LUPINE, cheap Banggood and Aliexpress are also missing?
dam 80 dollars ofr a headlamp come on 0-Light what are you doing that light shouldnt cost anything over 50 dollars max and you wonder why people hate 0-Light and there products
Félicitations pour votre analyse. Les résultats ne me surprennent pas. J’utilise les lampes Fénix depuis plus de vingt ans, et même si vos conclusions avaient été différentes, je n’aurais rien changé à mes habitudes. À mes yeux, il y a Fénix, puis les autres. Depuis 2021, j"utilise au quotidien la lampe frontale HM70R et ce n’est que du bonheur. J’ai placé récemment à l’intérieur une batterie 21700 à 6000 mAh et le gain d’autonomie est énorme.
i bet no one bought the ZEBRA light lol way to muck money for a piece of metal crazy as hell come on ZEBRA grow up
I bought a $20 13,000 lumen rechargeable headlamp from Amazon in 2020. It is not sold now (Mosfiata). I have been very happy with it. Many light settings from dim to a spotlight I can see across a field with, to blinking. Long life, comfortable. Can’t speak to durability as I have not tried to drop or destroy it.
Thanks for the great videos bro. Anytime im researching a product you always have video to help me out
Just go to lowes and get a 400 lumen energizer headlamp..its bright.. dont get hot and last a good while with 3 tripleA batteries for like 30-35 bucks
Should have used the sofirn hs41. If you were going going to use other lights that use 21700 battery’s to make it fair. Why use one brands low tier vs another’s top tier headlamp? Net time maybe compare battery’s that use the same battery size or the top of the line from every brand
Fenix has been my favorite for a while, they seem to put out a good product.
I bought 2 COSOOS head lights on Amazon for a total of $14.99. It has an LED bar/strip that wraps around the front and a red light where the built in batteries are in the back. I have no way of testing the brightness but they are plenty bright and last a couple hours. I bought them in August of 2023 and they still work great. The one thing I do not like is that they charge via micro USB rather than USB C but other than that, they have been great. None of the headlamps tested were that style. I would really be curious as to how they compare.
I was going to recommend testing tactical flashlights. They are more multi use and compact but pack a punch. However i dont trust any of their claims.
Flashlight testjng videos make me happy. More plz
Can you please test any headlamp that has the chinese LED called XHP360 please?
I’ve had my Fenix for around 4 years now. I use it every day, same battery. Still works like they day I pulled it out of the box.
I would have just put in the description that they are all made in China. 😁
No Thrunite?
LUMENS = False information from manufacturing companies! Great video.
Heck, why not review backpacker headlamps? I feel like they would be better.
Of course i see this after buying a headlamp lol. I have a smaller version of the nebo that only goes up to 400 lumens i use for inspecting my truck before i take off… its like shining the sun i doubt it would be worthwhile for me to buy something bigger which i definitely wouldve bought had i seen this first. Its very small and comfortable to use
Let’s try some light bars next!
Thank you this was extremely helpful. God bless you and the family
I got the Fenix for 5years in mobile auto service,hard conditions of work,and still is working like new.
Would love to see you test hat clip lights, I’m an electrician and I wear a ball cap every day and I’ve had some poor luck with some of the clip on lights I’ve tried in the past
Hi there. Great test. Something must have happened with the Zebralight. I own that flashlight and it was not preforming in your test very well. I suspect you either didn’t test it on high, or used a battery that was not an unprotected 18650 cell rated for 10A of continuous discharge.
Should do a test with home Depot, Lowe’s, harbor freight and other local stores of the brands they carry
Petzl is best made in France
I know there are too many out there to test them all but my favorite headlamp (and i own many) is the sofirn hs41. Great outptut and a 21700 battery. And can be found direct on their website occasionally for $30.
The Ultrafire battery is also known as the "Housefire" battery due to its bursting into flames on many occasions when it’s placed in a battery charger,lol
50.00 dollars for the sofirn headlamp lol where and how i never paid anything over 30 dollars for any flashlight from sofirn or wurkkos branded ligths lol you must of paid full price because i always get them way cheaper then 50.00 dollars i would pay 30 dollars max for a sofrin or wurkkos headlamp
i really do like the NEBO looks so cool i want it please send it to me i dont care if its broken
Man, this is one I needed to see. I work night shift and typically like to keep my “night shift” schedule on my days off while tending to my 10 acre property. Thanks Project Farm!!👍
Factor of lie prducers write on the packaging is out of scale. 100 000 lumens!! My led lamp had 2000 and cost about 100 eur. I wonder why they not go stright to trillions and winer is why manages add more zeroes on the packaging. Also problem is that same product has different names in different places. I have headlamp exactly like lepro, but name is "specialist".
The Wurkkos Hd50 is on sale rn for $35. $33 is you buy 2, so I bought 2 😎
11:51 the cat is not impressed by the lamp 😅
