I own this flashlight, and I like it. I believe I purchased mine directly from Sofirn.

My main critique is that while the **build quality is very good, it results in significant weight.** If I could change one thing, I would suggest using a lighter, more fragile material, as items strapped to a head typically do not require such extreme durability. This change would necessitate better heat dissipation, likely through additional cooling fins, a trade-off I would accept.

My first light was the HS41, which uses a larger battery and is heavier. Wearing it on my hard hat all night resulted in noticeable strain from the weight. This model mitigates that issue by utilizing a slightly smaller battery.

It would be an excellent enhancement if it featured separate **rotational knobs** for both brightness and light selection. Outside of that, I appreciate the design. Ideally, the existing switches would be dedicated solely to power and programmable presets.

Regarding thermals, I think there should be a small **air gap behind the LED** instead of using the entire flashlight body as the primary heat sink, but I understand these are all design trade-offs.

​If I had to grab one light to go out, say, trick-or-treating, I'd put this in my pocket. It provided the necessary light whenever we needed to address the fact that the costume my three-year-old was wearing kept causing her to trip.

Lastly I should mention I've only used the hands-free sensor one time trying it out. I find the feature a waste of space, the rest of the light is fine.

I have one, it really is a nice headlamp. I have a few other sofirn headlamps, a smaller one, and a larger one that is asymetric. This one is nicer and more comfortable. Definitely recommend at this price.

There was not a single time the coupon worked for me on AliExpress. When new account or not, even when all conditions seemingly met, the site manages to deny the coupons.

Ya that's great but my experience is far different than yours.Sorry not sorry if you can't accept that.I've tried twice and both times the ly kept my money for 3 months before refunding me.See it's not about bad feelings it's about bad experiences.Nice insults tho I guess if it makes you feel better
We do not know what your experience was as you tell no one while crapping on the OP's post. It is about feelings as that is all you expressed. You gave no details and didn't even mention what the store was. You have feelings about Aliexpress yet this item is from the Sofirn Store. If your purchase was not from the Sofrin Store your experience and feelings may have no bearing on this deal at all.

AliExpress is just checkout system. If the seller does bad job it really doesn't reflect on that system as whole. If you find some bad seller you can have problems but the same can happen on Amazon or Walmart when they act as a checkout system. That does not mean that Walmart or Amazon are shady or cheating you. Amazon and Walmart also make you wait for refunds from third party sellers.

I have a strong feeling that you experience has nothing at all to do with the Sofrin Store. The OP that also has feelings did not tell anyone to buy from Aliexpress as he can not buy from Aliexpress as they sell nothing. Other people have feelings as well. If I may wrong and apologise if so but I highly suspect that you problems were not with the merchant in this deal at all.

Your feelings do control you. Even if there was an occasional problem it still would not be rational for me or you to buy Sofirn stuff on Amazon for twice the price. You worry about feelings waiting for money then become willing to waste it.

Still no actual facts at all. Sorry I am going to have to take that as evidence to mean that you did not buy from the Sofirn Store and your feelings and experience have nothing at all to do with this deal.

That's pretty neat, but disappointing that they only post the run-time for high power modes. I'd love to see how many hours I could get under the hood of a car with moon, low or medium flood pattern. I'm sick of lights that don't last a long time, but I don't need a ton of output.

Medium is 3 hours, 19 minutes. It's rare to find independent runtime testing for low or moonlight, simply because it would take weeks in many cases.

This is a great headlight. Have one and love it. It's nice that it has a separate spot and flood mode (or combo). High CRI for the flood. Head strap is nice - comfortable and secure. I use it mostly for car and home projects, so I'm not trying to run with it or anything. UI is good too - twist to change modes.
