Tools and Hardware Reviews of Streamlight 61400 Enduro Impact Resistant Headlamp, Elastic Strap, Black
Customer Review: Nothing wrong with this but the local walmart store has a better headlamp
Summary: 3 Stars
This lamp serves the purpose. I wasnt too crazy about the single lamp. I recently used this on a 6 hour over night hike and it worked well and was reasonably bright. The lamp seemed of some what cheaper quality one than the energizer one i bought in walmart which also has the laser in case you need to be rescued etc
I could see a laser beam from one of those headlamps about a mile away. Unlike the energizer this headlamp has only one lamp. The enrgizer one has multiple modes.
Customer Review: It works

Mine came with the strap!! This headlamp works fine, and the lower power is all I need in dark locations (and that's usually where I use a headlamp). The hat brim attachment is a challenge, but I use the head strap exclusively. The battery chamber cap twists to open and close.Customer Review: Not as pictured

I like the light but if you don't have a hat on it slides down the one I received didn't have the third strap like pictured was not pleased but it was a gift and he opened it.Customer Review: Powerful Single LED Streamlight 61400 Enduro Headlamp has issues
Summary: 2 Stars
Purchased through Amazon, this Streamlight 61400 throws out light equivalent to the heavy headlamps of the past. While the older lights used 14-53 LEDs, the Streamlight uses only one! On Amazon I purchased the Petzl E91 PO Tikkina 2 Headlamp at the same time. A comparison is useful.
I find the Streamlight high beam perfect for night use and the low beam suitable only for close reading. The lamp could use a middle power. The Petzl has the same 2 LED settings, but achieves a better compromise.
While it uses only 2 AAA batteries compared with 3 AAAs for the Petzl, the unit seems heavier. The Petzl has a flat lamp 2 LED design with a wide rubber base resting comfortably against your forehead. The Streamlight uses a bullet lamp with a very small rubber disk strapped against your forehead, so the lamp tends to hang uncomfortably. It is not suitable for longer periods of reading.
The Streamlight 61400 has an unusually difficult battery case with an opening to the side of the forward-facing lamp. The cover is attached to the case with an elastic strap. You need tiny fingers to twist the battery cover open and you struggle to close it after inserting the batteries. I spent ten minutes at this until the unit finally lit up. I dread having to change the batteries.
Due to the bullet lamp design, LED power issue, and battery case problem I would not recommend this lamp.
Customer Review: Not always waterproof

Recently went night snorkeling, and purchase this headlamp for the occasion. After about 25 minutes of use, the light died. (Dangerous situation to be in!) Once I got back to shore I discovered that it had leaked, and thus was not water-proof, (the manufacturer claims it is). My friend bought the same headlamp but did not have this problem.
