Good flashlight. I bought it because it has features I desired: USB charging instead of replaceable batteries/accumulators, splash resistant, very light, with a lightweight and easily adjustable head strap (I don't like classic straps that twist and are adjusted with buckles, as that's uncomfortable), and it's simple to use—I’ve had enough of a thousand functions activated by various combinations of clicks and holds. The flashlight has a few basic functions, including an SOS signal, switched intuitively, so you don't need to remember any sequence—it's easy to "rediscover". As for downsides, it potentially doesn't shine spectacularly bright. For me, it's strong enough, on par with other headlamps, and doesn't fall short of the standard. It could also have full waterproofing, in case it falls into a river, but I think its IP66 rating will cover 99% of situations :)
Fitted with LED diodes delivering a maximum output of 360 lumens and a beam distance reaching up to 58 m, as well as two red light diodes, the headlamp stands out for its ultralight construction, weighing just 44 g.
Four distinct brightness modes offer tailored illumination intensity for varying terrain and environments. The flashlight features a dedicated signal mode and red light setting, ideal for maintaining night vision. Robust protection from dust, debris, and powerful water jets is provided by IP66 certification. A highly durable housing safeguards against drops from heights of up to 1 meter.
The ultralight mounting strap with a reflective finish ensures comfort during extended runs or nighttime treks, while significantly enhancing user visibility and safety after dark.
A 500 mAh Li-Ion battery serves as the power source, with charging made simple via the built-in USB-C port and the supplied cable. A power level indicator is integrated, allowing users to monitor the battery’s remaining charge.
Lockout Mode prevents accidental activation of the headlamp while stored in a backpack.

At first glance and touch, the flashlight seems very delicate, but this is just an illusion. The design is well thought out and solid; when wearing it, you hardly notice it, so you can forget you have it on your head. The light is bright and strong. Operation is very convenient and intuitive thanks to the large buttons. A big plus is that you can adjust the angle of the light beam. I recommend it.
