Video Transcription

so it's a rainy day today we're gonna have ourselves an inside video and show you this little gem don't go away [Music]

all right so first off obviously this from Oh light it's the h1r nova rechargeable and detachable headlight just go through the specs real quick i px 872 meter throw it's got five modes you got the moon two lumens six days the low at 15 lumens 20 hours medium 60 lumens five hours can I read through that yeah and the high 180 lumens at a hundred minutes and then you got a turbo here at 600 lumens for three minutes then it comes back to 80 now that's pretty normal because remember this this battery it's not 18650's they are well if you add the number here where is it right there it's your typical cr123 but they added in the RCR and there are probably stands for rechargeable so if we go a little lower here in the box Sena two meter throw 1.5 impact meter distance whatever that means i px8 cree xml2 and 51 point five grams including battery that's what I like I mean pretty lightweight okay so this is exactly what you get if you ever get one you got your strap a nice very comfortable strap very simple also to adjust comfortable on the head you have a clip okay and of course the way they recharge their lights is rechargeable is by magnetic this way so that comes with it with USB and you have this nice not a cheap but very nice pouch kind of almost like velvet

but it's really nice super nice actually okay so this is what the little flashlight headlamp looks like real close

so tiny that is you got only one head hail well yeah I not a tail cap my tail switch but a head switch I guess on the top it's nice and sensitive to go through the modes as simple if you want to now this thing locks if you hold it more than two seconds and it locks and if you hold it back for two seconds it'll knocks but if you want the moon light you just hold on to it there's your moon light to go through the modes after that like low medium and high you just hold on to it medium high low medium high if you want the turbo you double click boom triple click for SOS 1 2 3 right 1 2 3 okay turn it off now before we continue with this I've owned some pretty you know powerful I guess for head lamps 800 up to thousand Newman's and to be honest I was you know they're kind of heavy but you kind of get used to it I have nothing against it but they're kind of heavy and like a thousand the high outputs I'd never use ever ever ever use so I decided I wanted something smaller just because believe it or not I use a headlamp every single night and no I'm not telling you why but I used one every night so I was something very simple and these big ones that I had was a thousand lumens that I never used and heavy on the head I said okay that's enough so now you have a very light weight but at the same time with your anodized you know a solid not a plastic a solid body structure it's rechargeable and it's very easy to use and it's got a lot of options so before I put it up here we're gonna see what you can do with it so obviously this light can be used as an EDC I mean you go up to 600 lumens with it's a tiny thing so it's pretty incredible you know just go around like this and very easy to carry because of this nice deep carry clip hardly feel it hardly know it's there okay so also because it's a magnet okay I don't know I've got car trouble and it happens that this being on your head does not light where it's supposed to and you have a nice place where you have steel and you can put a flashlight to help you see where your work well it's going to work okay so you light up wherever it is you need to light up if you got steel obviously it's pretty strong magnet okay another option is on your backpack if you have these straps throw it for whatever reason you don't want to have it on your head and you need it a little lower when you're walking which is also good well you have that option of having a clip tada yes clipping it on your backpack that way and of course being that as a clip and you can adjust it to wherever it is you'll want to adjust it very cool option okay so being that you have this little pouch everything goes in easily into the pouch plus your extra batteries talking about batteries just unscrew the cap I'll show you what it looks like our cr123 and this flashlight when you get it includes one of these guys our CR one two three now I'll probably have the question do the normal ones go into it I don't see why not it looks like the same size just that these are rechargeable but I can't answer from you know 100% cuz I don't own any other batteries nice quality now the attachment where you put the what I've notice is that it's not that cheap hard plastic where you know everything is hard to move it's very quality all it's almost I can't say what it is but it's like I wouldn't say silicone but it's very stretchable so you don't struggle you know 20 hours to put this in so let me just put this in you got do this live you got to where this is where the clip goes so the very first one you put it there and the second one you got this little tab where you just pull over and just put it nice so it goes in now something else that I've been using this a little bit and I absolutely love it's very easy to swivel look at that if you need it to go a little lower or down it's just super awesome so what we're gonna do next is wait till it gets dark and just show you a little bit okay however charging obviously you can you know recharge it on a power bank or your computer but I use my thing singing for the phone so just put it in here it goes a lot quicker and when you put it in and you see this little green light and when I put it on the now it's green that's because it's fully charged because I just charged it but when it's not this green light will become red and as soon as it becomes green well your light is fully charged so pretty cool I like this good play all day with this right okay that's enough okay so let's take a look at reading light at this point I'm just on the moonlight which is plenty to read and by the way if you've never read this book and you can grab it it's an awesome read it's the last last straight gold rush 1896 1899 so this is plenty for reading and yes you've guessed it why I have or use a headlamp every night is for reading I read with headlamps there it goes my secret I'm camping every night so if ever your eyes are not strong enough let's go to the 15 lumens 15 I did say 15 is also super nice that would be great also but after that would be just too much so for the reading the moonlight and 15 no price so forgive me for the mess a room is a little bit messy but look at that you know when you seriously think of a headlamp I'm still just on the 15 this is plenty to work around the camp okay

plenty plenty plenty but we'll still go to the next one which is 60 plenty to walk on the trail don't need anything more than that let's try now the 180 now that's very bright that's the maximum I would actually use you know in reality to walk around the trail or whatever it is I have to do bathroom at night

and if ever you need the 600 well there it is folks this this I would rarely use but it's there just in case so when you bring this back down there's the 15 so anyway look this light I mean there's nothing perfect but this is very close to perfection and it's very practical to me anyway personally it's a package deal and I absolutely recommend it so anyway I thank you for watching and as usual I will leave the links in the description of this video you guys take care bye [Music]
