I thought it was time to take a look inside on of these relatively cheap high powered head mounting flashlights.

These are made for hard hats. Rock climbing helmets or such items. Not your bare head. Maybe why the cells are only covered by rubber. Not a good situation if those batteries go boom on your bare head.
lol dropping ur camera woke me up
When I was working on trains we used to fix this type of lamp to our (mandatory) bump caps. That way you didn't end up with a dent in your forehead by the end of the shift. A lot of our work was done over night and the power would be on and off either because the train software wasn't quite there yet or because the train had gone into 'loadshed'.
I've had a few head lamps over the years and find the part that seems to fail most is the elastic head band which is really annoying seeing as though the main bits are usually well made and would last a very long time.
Also have a few "UltraFire" 18650 5,000mAh batteries and the name really put me off especially after the incidents of fire caused by lithium batteries over the years.
Torch.
These red lights at the back are probably for bikers as they somehow replace their broken bikelights wit that head mounted lamp
I can see similar lamps quite often in our town always the bikes have no lights but the bikers have these lights on the head.
thanks Clive. RLTW!!
I gutted my light and made it single mode, on and off.
Single mode lights similar to this one couldn't be found.
Thank you for taking it apart now I do not have to
I have the Atomic Beam brand of this. The switch is on the side of the headband though and it only uses 1 18650 or has the adapter for 3 AAA cells.
I have one of these but it does not do the long press sos other than that the exact same
I have the one like Ralph's and I love it for small work and soldering, where you need a bright light just on the spot you need to see to do the job right. I mentioned them to my Dentist one visit, the next trip to her office and the entire staff were using a bit smaller version of these, they seemed to love it as well, lights up a mouth well for dental repair.
did anyone else catch a glimse of Clives massive pink vibrator, taped in a convienient postion under desk???…..I did!!
YOU *BASTARD*! I thought I was having a fucking *EARTHQUAKE*!
Oh, and nice headlamp.
