OumeiouNew Warm Bright LED Lighted Beanie Cap Unisex Rechargeable Headlamp Hat Multi-color, Black, One Size

Very useful for walking when dark in winter in poorly lit areas

Good gift

Bought this as a Christmas stocking filler - without sounding like a 'dweeb' this has been received as the best present from the other presents this year! The reason why is it's perfect for walking the dogs in the dark; using it for work (decorating in dark areas where a torch would have been needed); or running/ exercising whilst out and about. The quality of the hat material is very, very good and the light unit is excellent with ease of removing from the hat and recharging via a USB plug which, I must add, charges up in no time (although it's a guess when it is actually ready to use as there no indication). The charge lasts a decent time, again the longer you have the light on the quicker it needs charging but you have at least a good hour+ on the high setting. The light unit can also be charged via a laptop etc. The lights are very bright, 3 levels of brightness, and can be seen many meters away so it does what we needed it for. The light unit in the hat also takes away the tight, restrictive strap of a head lamp that we've had in the past. Just put the hat on and feel comfortable. I've ordered a further 2 hats for family for dog walking and work. I haven't washed the hat itself yet but I'm sure with care it will be ok - don't forget to remove the light unit first! Well priced for a quality product and definitely fit for purpose. Young and old could wear this with help possibly to recharge the light after the light diminishes. Would definitely recommend this product to purchase.

Does the job let’s see how it wears & lasts

The hat itself is a good fit, snug and warm, and has not stretched or frayed during the last couple of years usage.The light is not the brightest. At the lowest setting, it is good enough that others can see you are there from quite a distance (at least 50m). At its highest setting, it will illuminate up to 3-4m in front of you in pitch black conditions. With street lighting, I don’t really notice any benefit from the light.Battery life is good – it lasts at least a week at the lowest setting and will last a couple of days using the highest settings (used for a daily hour-long walk). The lamp plugs directly into a USB charger (with a charge indicator LED) which is very convenient.I would happily recommend this product, as it met my requirement to be seen in the dark.
