Wizard C2 Pro Nichia LED Warm White Headlamp Magnetic USB Multifunctional Torch

The amount of light and color fidelity is amazing. It's astounding to use it in a dark room and all of the colors just POP! It's like sunlight. Speaking of sunlight, on the Turbo 2 setting it's like the sun. This thing is so bright! 1600 lumens is no joke. Of course, it only stays on that level for 1 minute because it gets so hot, but, man, it'll light up your entire yard! The breadth of the light is great! It'll fill almost your entire field of vision. (Turbo 2 is only available if you use the advanced mode. Read the manual for how to turn it on.)I also really like how low it goes! Firefly 1 mode is so faint that you can barely tell it's on unless you're in a pitch black room, but there's no flicker at all! It's great for checking something at night without blinding yourself. I find that Firefly 2 or 3 is the dimmest I like it, but I'm glad the choice exists.I swear I read every word of the manual, but I had to watch a YouTube video to even learn how to charge this thing. You have to twist the battery cover 1/4 turn counter clockwise, which makes the flashlight inoperable. Only then will it charge. If you don't do this the charger will flash red quickly. If you do it right, it will flash green then be solid red until it's done charging.In the advanced mode, you can double-click to go to the Main range of powers, and triple-click to go to Turbo, from the unit being off or already on. This leads to some undesirable behavior. If the unit is off, and the last mode you used was Turbo 2, and you attempt to double-click the button to start it in Main mode, the very first click will turn Turbo 2 mode on for a slit second, blinding you before going to your last used Main brightness. I kinda wish it had a very slight delay before turning on to give it enough time to see if you are doing a multi-click. Of course, if they did this, some people would complain that it takes a half second to turn on, so I dunno.To avoid this issue entirely, if you want to make sure you don't blind yourself, with the flashlight off, hold down the button, and it will cycle through Firefly Mode 1, 2, 3, then Main 1, 2, 3, then Turbo 1. You can stop whenever you feel it's bright enough. It takes a little time, but it guarantees you won't blind yourself. (It won't go all the way to Turbo 2 when doing this, but you can stop at Turbo 1, release the button, then hold it again for one second to switch to Turbo 2.) If you're not using Advanced Mode, it doesn't go up to Turbo 1 doing this, and there might be one fewer Firefly mode. I forget.I gave it a 4 for comfort because the hard plastic holder to use it as a headlamp isn't comfortable for long use. The edges press into your forehead and it leave marks on your skin. I found that using it higher on my forehead than I usually wear headlamps will minimize this. Your experience will vary based on your head size. I have a giant head, and the curve of the holder is more curved than my forehead is. I imagine on smaller heads it would feel perfect. It really needs some kind of foam pad. I might add one myself.

I needed this

Amazon or the seller charged two times for the same iteam, whe I only bougth one light. And the light didn't response in the firsth use.

After 20 years of putting up with bluish 6500k bulbs this has been a breath of fresh air. The quality of the light is relaxing and stress free for my eyes. I have much better depth perception and balance with this light. The beam makes a wall of light that moves with me and even covers my feet. Since there is no hot spot the beam does not have that annoying bounce with every step. Instead there is just a smooth even dispersion of flooded light that doesn’t have distracting artifacts or tinted edges. If you want a light with a long throw and a super bright hot spot this is not it. If you want clean illumination within a broad beam that lets you see subtleties and details at closer ranges then this is the one to get. Most of the work I do with this head lamp is at less than 20 feet. It is now my favorite light. I needed the higher CRI because color is information and it’s information I need for my task. If I could only have one light, it would be this one.Some annoyances. The operating system is a pain. Other reviewers are not exaggerating. It is simply too many functions to try and remember. I thought I would be able to just ignore the advanced functions which require you to unscrew the battery cap 1/4 turn then screw it back in. But my favorite beam setting for reading is in the advanced settings. It’s only been 3 weeks so I suppose I’ll acclimate. If I continue to like it, I will get the long range version to go with itA few more things. The exterior is finished with something to make it slip resistant. That finish is getting marred up pretty quickly. It also gets hot enough to melt fabrics so caution is advised. I wished it had a proximity sensor to cut the light off if something gets too close to the lens. I’ve already burned myself twice. I do not like the headband. My forehead gets irritated after an hour or so. Others love it, I do not. All in all it’s pretty a well made flashlight and it casts a perfect beam. It’s also really expensive for what it is. This is a crowded segment in the market with a lot of competition. In light of its competitors it feels a little overpriced and missing a few features….but again…it has that perfect beam which makes it stand out.
