I didn't think this was going to be a very long video. But it was a lot shorter than expected.
This is possibly the most utterly pointless design of a head torch ever.
As a bonus, the head band was uncomfortably tight at full length.
Technical spec. Light output poor.
Current at 4.5V a reassuring 60mA.

This also keeps the channel independent of YouTube's advertising algorithms allowing it to be a bit more dangerous and naughty.

The guy on the package has an expression that says "I gambled on a fart and lost."
I have a Energizer head torch that's brighter an I bought it in 2007, still going strong now, it has two larger LEDs on one red. I bought it off a market stall selling bankrupt shop stock, it's still going strong an bright an uses the same batteries as yours but yours has more LEDs, it's not brighter though but with electronics you get what you pay for, pay cheap price get a bad product. Some Chinese electronics is dreadful an very poor quality, I have heard of batteries an chargers catching fire. Poundshop batteries don't last long, with zinc carbons if you can squeeze the zinc casing flat with your fingers you know it's poor quality, there ok for a test supply though but don't leave them in equipment to long because there prone to leak. Sadly poundshop electronics are not that good but there other products such as epoxy resin work just as well as more known brand's, with electronics pay that little extra to get a better product. This video clearly demonstrates that fact.
In the words of Trump "it's fake".
What is the name brand or company so we can avoid buying their products?
I've come to the conclusion any "LED Light" that takes 3 AAA cells is going to be complete and utter rubbish. Like those ZOMG SO MANY LEDS flashlights.
but this isn't even the cheapst torch you can find, tho it is probably the crappiest. I saw a 1 chip SMD powered by two 2032's and the switch was integral to the housing, the button just a cutout and a plastic finger extended down to the membrane contact this one had. they were in the 99c bin, guaranteed to last half an hour only or 20 cycles of off/on haha
Looks like it worked great, easy to use and no extra crappy gimmicks just a light.
In technological terms its shit, but from a commerce perspective it is an amazing example of Chinese globalism
Made for around 18cents using parts and labor costing around 11 cents… Exported for around 40c tarries and shipping take it up to 50c shipped to retailers for around 65c retailed at $1.25
Once opened, your cheap shit headlamp will function poorly for approximately five minutes until you try to stretch it over the peak of your cap and the side clip that holds the elastic band in place will split rendering the unit completely useless, You know it's shit but still its hard to turn down a headlamp at $1.25 ESPECIALLY if it comes with batteries !!!
Another one of china's super hi quality heavy dudy professional grade head torch night light survival camping waterproof work light spotlight headlight hid led with a powerful beam.
Tee hee hee hee😅. Wow! That is a poor lighting design, but It's so entertaining to watch you do reviews of the cheapest leds flashlight and there downsides.
nothing good comes out of china.
China has the second biggest gdp after america all thanks to our lust for shit products
Not a single comment about the picture of Kackie Ickx on the packaging??
Why would they even bother putting fake led lights on the diffuser? They took a more modern surface mount led and turned it into the older led technology
The guy on the box looks like he's trying to fart without shitting…interesting.
Highly recommend the Sofirn SP40 headlight its available on Amazon I think also places like Ali express and banggood
