Coleman’s 3AAA LED Headlamp is a great tool to have when investigating outdoors, and your hands are taken up by cameras and other instruments. The overall size of the lamp is about the size of my palm, and easily stores away in my equipment bag when I’m not using it. Both the lamp and the head strap are adjustable to easily be customized for men, women, as well as children.

First off, I want to list the pros of this head lamp. The knob to adjust the light is on the right side, and has 3 light settings. The first are 2 red LEDs for night vision so you don’t blind anyone with the bright white LEDs. The second and third control the white led light in the center, dim, and bright. The white led is highly effective for brightening what is in front of you, especially outdoors at night.

Now, for the cons. The light is more of a spotlight at its brightest point. The light does trail off into a flood light, but it’s not as effective as other wide beam lights. The other con that isn’t too major, but it does make we wince every time it happens, is when you adjust the light. There are grooves on the light that hold the light in place when you adjust it. However, when you do adjust the light, it makes a grinding noise from the grooves. I’m worried that after adjusting it after a length of time, the plastic will wear down, and break.
Overall, I give this headlamp 3 out of 5 stars. It is a great quality light. I’m just worried about the product lasting after adjusting it over a longer period of time.
