Note: Regarding the single AA $6 clip flashlight.

SD'ers beware... I own 2 of these, and after a little bit of use you have to bang them on something hard to turn on. Also there is some kind of low voltage cutoff, and don't turn on easily after recent use if the battery is low.... but of course YMMV.

The single one listed is rechargeable, is brighter, and has separate buttons for the colored lights vs. white light - this is nice because if you want to turn on the red light to not lose your night vision, you can get there directly - that said, point the light into something and click to the setting you want, you won't sacrifice much night vision.

Big downside to primary batteries is if you use it at the bright end, they only last so long. Alkalines will fade fairly fast, and while it will stay "useable" for a long time, you'll find that at half battery, it will likely not be as bright as you want it, and will quickly fall into the "enough to see where you're going" range. Primary lithium batteries have a flatter output so it will stay brighter longer, but they are expensive.

I have no experience with this particular light, but if nothing more then the fact that the performance output stays roughly the same until the battery is basically dead - I prefer lithium batteries wherever possible in a flashlight, and rechargeable for environmental/cost issues.

Personally I've had nothing but good experiences with my energizer lights, but they definitely don't have the consistency and quality that the specialty light manufacturers have (but are DRASTICALLY cheaper). I think the biggest issue for me is the UI. It's often hard to tell how the particular light will work - like what brightness it defaults to and what direction does it cycle, whether it has "memory" (defaults to the last used setting), if there is a quick way to go to the lowest or highest brightness etc. I would guess they utilize 3rd party designs/designers to develop their lights and each light or series of lights is treated as an independent project - because it seems like every energizer light I have has different controls. Even lights like these headlamps which visually look similar to past headlamps, or even the ones released at the same time as different "tiers" have inconsistent controls and specs.

The reviews for the rechargeable one have me wary of the quality, but I've had many versions of the AAA powered ones, and typically they were broken up by cheapest = lower brightness/throw and fewer options, up to the most expensive with most options and output. I really like the smart dimming feature, and before I think you couldn't get that on the cheaper models. The big advantage being that sometimes if you're working up close or a closed in environment, you need a lower brightness, but the fixed brightness jumps often seem to go from not enough light to too bright.

I can't say for certain that it will happen with these particular headlamps, but I would be wary of these if you wear glasses as it may inadvertently shine downward and light up the inside of your glasses (glare city). The big "lens" that covers the front of the light goes all the way to the bottom of the light, when the light shines through it, it will cause the lens itself to carry light in all directions - look at the product photos that show the illuminated red and green LEDs to get an idea of what I mean.

The upside is it's an easy fix, just use a piece of electrical tape or some paint across the bottom of the lens, but it's annoying to have to do that.

None of these are tactical, what are we supposed to do with them? Metals recycling, as in turn them over for it?

POST UPDATE: Over the last week, I've tried to use the camping lamp w/fan several more times at work. I'm happy to report that the issues I initially had have pretty much disappeared. I don't know if that is telling about the quality of the rechargeable battery source sand its expected longevity but I've never had a battery that died so fast with the first several years and then miraculously improve but I'm not complaining at all. I still don't get more than maybe two or three hours with the light on medium but that's far more justifiable to have on hand than when it died in 30-45 min. I guess just buyer beware as the quality could fluctuate? I'm not sure what to make of the change but, again, to I'm not complaining and felt it relevant to share that experience in case someone was on the fence.

FYI: DO NOT BUY the, "camping lantern w/ tent fan".

I bought it earlier this month on the last round of deals. I work on airplane wings and need small, rechargeable light sources. The two headlamps that detach like mini flashlights are good so I figured the lamp/fan combo was made for me (being in tight, dark, confined spaces, this seemed like a no brainer. I was wrong.

I got to work with the lamp on a full charge. Turned it on and it was great at spreading light but only lasted about 30-45 minutes on medium light mode without even running the fan. That basically made it worthless because it takes hours to charge back up. Even still, I figured I would hang on to it for random scenarios that it may come in handy. I had it fully charged at work, unplugged it to plug in a head lamp and came back the next day. When I grabbed this lamp and went to turn it on, the battery status was already at 75% (3/4 lights). It was off all night.

From a battery company, this product was one of the cheapest jokes I've seen as far as battery life. It would be great if you want to connect a portable battery pack to it all the time but who wants to do that with a camping lamp/fan.

It's too much hassle to send it back but it is definitely a waste of $13. Avoid

Thinking about getting the tiny 100 lumen light or the 300 lumen light for every day carry.
Not for a weapon in case anyone is wondering, just as a tool, like a pocket knife.
