ACEBEAM H16 Rechargeable High Lumens Head Torch - Right Angle, Small, EDC & Clip, Led Head Torch for Camping & Running - Headband Kit (Cool White 6500K)

I was slightly sceptical about this due to its size, boy was I wrong. It’s outstanding, much brighter than I could’ve imagined. Tiny, lightweight, very sturdily made and great idea that you can charge the battery (quickly) via USB C. Has a magnetic base too, along with a handy clip for your rucksack or pocket for hands free use. Highly recommended.

Amazing head torch, super bright really easy to use, battery life is very long, size is small around 2 inches long and not bulky or heavy. Comes with a head strap. 5/5

I recently picked up a Milpoel headlamp for travel, in case I get stuck somewhere with a power cut and needed a headband torch. It turns out to be quite bulky and doesn't fold up well, because of the extended luminous band. It's also recharge-only, so if I find it's discharged I'm stuck. Seeking a solution, I picked up a RovyVon E3, which can be powered by both a AAA (which lives in it) and its internal battery. Sleek and light, but not a headlamp unless it's clipped to a baseball cap. I resigned myself to attaching it to a "COVID shielding" wristband, but it's less convenient if I need both hands and clear lighting. Enter the H16. It's bulkier than the E3, but since you're either using the internal battery or a AA, not both, not by much. And it comes with a headband that's just a headband, and therefore folds up fairly small (and won't get broken in travel). I'd have preferred the brighter, whiter version, but this is okay. Firefly mode is fine for reading in the dark, and useful for not waking people. Brighter modes are, on the rechargeable battery, bright enough to be useful, and reasonably easy (and standard) to access - hold from off for firefly, double-click from off to on, hold when on for brightness selection, double-click when on for turbo. I'm not sure the triple-click SOS mode is going to be useful (it's not blazingly bright either), but the tail stand magnet is reasonably strong, so it might be useful for dealing with the car at night. (Aside: Many people talk about buying a light to "leave in the car". They have an optimistic impression of how warm a closed car can get in direct sunlight - I've had multiple cans explode - and how good an idea this is for lithium batteries; mine's staying in a carry bag, thanks.) The mode selection is similar enough to the Rovyon that I'll probably manage with it, and the button is easy to find. My main objection to the UI is there's no lock-out mode. Some have suggested the traditional partial unscrewing of the tail cap to do that, but by the time it's locked out, the tail falls off. I'm relying on clipping it in my bag at an angle where the button is unlikely to get pressed, but at least it needs a double-press to turn on fully. I'll probably carry both it and the Rovyvon, since then I can cope with access to both AA and AAA if I somehow end up in a hurricane. Downsides: The clip is a bit bulky, and just long enough that you can't turn it to the same side as the lamp to save space. Flipped the other way up (which you can do, although since the clip is reversible anyway it's a bit redundant) it overhangs the end, so tail stand won't work. I think (I haven't tried) you have to take the clip off to get it into the headband, which is a little annoying. The headband isn't exactly premium, but if I made more use of it I'd be looking at a more dedicated headlight anyway. I mostly use magnetic USB connections, which won't work with the battery's integrated port (there's no room between the battery and case) - but that's not a major issue for an emergency. My biggest concern is the lack of lockout, but that's a matter of storage. I've not tried it on an actual AA battery, and reports are that it's somewhat inefficient, but I'd take "inefficient" over "no power". All in all, not blown away, but it complements what I normally use. I hope I don't need to use the AA mode in anger, but I'll see how much it helps with late night car issues.

Small and light. Easy to clip on your clothes or the supplied headband. Good colour rendition (for wiring, reading safety labels etc). Bright enough for most jobs and a low moonlight mode to preserve night vision. A magnetic base and deep carry clip are icing on the cake.

Received this and was blown away by the quality, size and amount of light it produced. Was barely used it for the first month of ownership other than for maybe 5 minutes a couple of times a week. Upon getting a dog 2 weeks ago my usage increased and now unfortunately it has died. The battery appears fine, but the touch does not work with any batteries now so can only see it’s a problem with the unit itself. Such a shame for a promising product.

If you want to use this as a task light for diy then this is not for you . It’s a running light so you can be visible and see in front at night but it’s not very powerful .

This has to be one of the most versatile torches you can get that includes a rechargeable battery , multiple modes and pocket clip and a head band and a magentic base. Now it may not seem cheap, bt for what you get and the quality if you are camping or wanting it for EDC , working on your car then it is great. highly recommend it.

high quality and very good dim settings. Very dim options are great
