Thread: Budget headlamp advice wanted!

My $23 Sofirn H25LR from Ali Express arrived in the post today.

After getting it working and having a play around I’m impressed.

I’ve not owned many headlamps but I’m pleased with its rugged and simple design which feels very solid for $23! Both red and white lights and their different brightnesses give plenty options with the bright being BRIGHT. Yet to see what battery life is like and how it goes in the field but my first impressions of it are that it seems great, up there with the best $23 I’ve ever spent.

“You get what you pay for” always runs through my mind when buying things so cheaply from places like Ali Express, but if this isn’t too good to be true then I’ll take it! I know I’m not the first to experience the joys of inexpensive Chinese stuff being quite useful and of reasonable quality but as I said earlier, I think I’ll always be suspicious
