Tools and Hardware Reviews of Streamlight 61052 Septor LED Headlamp with Strap
Customer Review: Great Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this because i was going to be doing some work in the attic. The work required running wires and so i was moving around a lot up there, and relocating a work lamp soon became really tiresome.
This was the perfect solution. The 7 LED lamps are bright enough to light up my entire workspace and the surrounding areas. Also, the adjustable angle on the lamp is a great feature to minimize neck strain.
The padding on the light where it rests on your forehead is a little thin. Also if you plan on wearing it for long hours in tight hot environments where you are likely to sweat, it starts to get a little itchy. This is easily fixed by wearing a bandana or baseball cap flipped backwards though. But if its for quick jobs of under an hour, its comfortable enough that you wont notice its there.
Customer Review: Perfect for close-up electrical work, attick, basement, etc
Summary: 5 Stars
I use it for doing electrical work in my own house, in the attic, or working on things in the garage up-close where intense light helps make the job easier. Works very nicely. Overall construction is very good, especially the battery compartment. Battery weight (3 AAA's) is about as heavy as you can get without the light sliding down your nose.
My only suggestion to the manufacturer would be to offer single-push-to-off button along with the existing 4-cycle (off, low, medium, high) button. When I only need the low (1st) or medium (2nd) setting, it's annoying to have to push it 1 or 2 extra times to turn it off. Thank goodness I don't have to cycle through a flashing/hazard setting!
Customer Review: GREATEST IDEA SINCE PEANUT BUTTER
Summary: 5 Stars
For my purposes, which is working on my model railroad, this headlamp is a huge plus. What more can I say? Well, I can say that on a late return route of a hiking trip I put it on and it was great for lighting the path ahead.
I want to point out that I wear bi-focals and when doing close-up work I had to tip my head back to my shoulder blades to get the proper alignment. Not good Tonto, get bad hurt. The answer? I bought a pair of drug store reading classes of the correct power and it worked perfect. I carefully selected the Septor and very glad I chose this model with the LED's and the 3 light levels.

Customer Review: "I saw the light and it was good"
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been using a light that had only one LED and it just wasn't bright enough in some situations. I work in the electrical trade and both hands need to be available to work and lighting is usually nonexistent. This light is like stepping outdoors in the middle of the afternoon! It has three levels and almost always I am on the low one. Another great feature is the push button on switch. My previous light had a rotary switch and took both hands(usually dirty and greasy) to operate. It is a little bit hungrier for battery but given the illumination that's understandable. This is a great product, worth the price, and my coworkers all want one too.Customer Review: Septor 61052 led Headlamp
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used so many headlamps over the years I have lost count. Everyone of the previous ones had one thing or another I did not like. (Not bright enough, undependable, runs batteries down when not in use, has 4 different settings when only one does what it is supposed to, "provide ample light" and on and on.) This one has 3 useful settings. The dimmest one is bright enough to work with, the brightest one is very bright for those hard to see places like working under a car in a very tight, dark location. I have no need for the shop lights since buying this headlamp. It is easy to use and is easy to clean up, adjust angle, adjust straps, etc.
