I purchased this unit a month ago. It’s been used 5 days a week under all outdoor and some confined conditions. This headlamp is small enough to be used under a baseball type cap or on the outside depending on wheather you have to look down a lot or look up. Making it rechargeable on a daily basis ensures fresh battery life for several hours during a work shift. It has yet to fail me with dead batteries.
The light intensity is excellent in spot and wide angle modes. The light weight and balance of this headlamp is very confortable that you can forget having it on. I find it to be a must have for a night time working environment.

Mine is an older model. It has a dimmer control, but does not focus. There are 5 white LEDs controlled by one push button and a single red LED on another button. The white LEDs turn off when the red light is on. The sliding dimmer switch works on either. Bought it probably 3 or 4 years ago. The 3 AAA alkaline batteries have been changed maybe twice in that time.
The light lives inside its compact pouch in the glove box of my car, through all the heavy Wisconsin weather: freezing, soggy, humid or hot. It rarely comes inside. Yet unlike every other flashlight I have owned- including several Maglites- the LED Lenser has never once failed to work when I needed it.
In rural Wisconsin, it gets dark at night. Really dark. From changing a tire on a lonely country road to checking the barnyard for predators to dragging the trashcans down the driveway for pick up the next morning, I have had more than a few opportunities to be grateful for this product.
This evening I took the time to open the watertight battery compartment, fully expecting to see leakage and corrosion after all this time. Even as old as they are the batteries were still pristine. The light still worked blindingly well. That was when I decided to write this review.
[...]Built well, feather weight, tough as nails, comfortable to wear and apparently the batteries last forever. I can’t recommend this light enough.

mine says 139 lumens max on the box, but it appears brighter than my Petzl MYO RXP which is 140 lumens. that’s an insignificant difference but without knowing the specifications I would have said the Lenser is at least 50 lumens brighter. the lens really makes a huge difference! Coast has a patent for the headlamp+lens combination so other headlamps are forced to use a cheesy plastic diffuser to switch between narrow/diffuse focus, and that really doesn’t work as well.
also the weight on your head is practically nothing even with batteries in. I’d say it weighs around 2 pounds in all.
the one bad point is the mechanism to adjust the tilt up and down is pretty weak. it’s just a small plastic tab that ratchets into grooves on the lamp housing and I have heard others complain that the tab broke off of theirs.
it should be waterproof in the rain but I wouldn’t submerse it totally.
overall it’s perfect for what I use it for (working on the car, attic, inside computers, nighttime walking) but hardcore outdoorsmen might need something more durable.
