Title: Doesn't stand up to test
Product review: I wasn't exactly thrilled with this product -- maybe I got a bad one, after all, not every product a company produces will be 100%. With that said, I used this headlamp on a two month underway on a submarine. The problems I had include the case not being able to fully shut with batteries installed, i.e. the batteries were too fat to fit in the designed holders. This caused the light to flicker in and out and between a bright and dim intensity. It was extremely annoying while in a dark control room trying to perform my job. Also, the red flip-up lens broke off with normal use. Also, if you are going to use this headlamp because you need the red light to save your night vision, be advised that the shade of red isn't as deep as a red LED -- it's more of an orange. Because of this, the light is noticeably brighter and not as "covert" as you may require.
