Hi, thanks for the video. I must say (as someone who has had probably most headlamps on his head than anyone ever had), that I totally agree with your conclusion. You were clearly unimpressed and didn't evaluate it as nothing for flashlight fanatics. Actually, the price of this headlamp is insane. This headlamp should cost between 8 to 20 dollars. The 80 dollars price is a pure madness. For such money, I would think of nothing less than XHP50.3, Nichia 519a, some 1 or 2x 18650 or 21700, high sustained power output, and of course a manual, smarter controls, and aluminum/magnesium/titanium body. Also mineral glass lenses, maybe even with AR coating. This is really just a waste of money, and according to the Lumen graphs, it's even worse than some of the cheapest Chinese headlamps... Keep on reviewing please, and thanks.
Great review FE. For a price of 80.00 dollars, it is a failure. The Wuben H1 costs around 40 dollars and less during sales, smokes the Sandmarc. The battery is too small, and the plastic construction is a poor choice of materials. Sandmarc should work with one of the many Chinese vendors who have light design and manufacturing down to an artform.
