HD20 Headlamp Rechargeable, 2000 Lumen Super Bright Led Headlamp, 90 High CRI, Magnetic, Deep Clip Design, IP68 Waterproof Headlamp for Camping Hiking Running(Black)

Disclaimer: I don't possess the equipment or necessary knowledge to do a professional test of lights that measures actual light output or electrical properties of the light or its battery. My light reviews are only from first hand experience living with the light for a few days and using it in the million ways I need a light after dark around our property. The build quality of the HD20 is excellent. The body is shaped like most of Wurkkos other lights, and it looks just like its little brother, the HD15 headlamp only bigger. It charges by USB C and the port is on the back of the head opposite the LEDs. The USB port is covered with a little rubber cover that presses in to make it water tight. You can use any USB C cable to charge, even USB C to USB C. You can use the light as a powerbank too by just hooking up the appropriate cable to the light and your device. When I tried it it worked fine for my Motorola phone and I let it charge my phone up a few percentage points just to see if it was working. I ordered a Klein tools USB meter so in the future I can have a little better idea of the Voltage and Current that the lights I review that have the powerbank function are putting out. My time with the HD20 went really well. The first day I received it I charged it to full and used it while I was BBQing a pork butt on the smoker until after dark. I was really impressed with the light it put off. It lit up our whole yard and our 200ft driveway like day. It was easy to operate and find a less blinding and more useful level of lighting too. It has 2 LED emitters, one flood and one spotlight. Most of the control UI is good, but I'm not crazy about the control to change which emitter is on or to make both of them be on. I cheated and just used both of them on the whole time. I never felt like I didn't have the right amount of lighting with both of them on at the desired output level during my few days using the HD20 as my only light, and when I wanted massive amounts of light it delivered well. The only thing that could be considered a negative about the HD20 is it is a little big for this style headlamp. It uses one 21700 battery and it comes with a Wurkkos branded 5000mah battery. I saw a few of the professional reviews that were not very happy about the size or weight. I tend to think of it another way though. The larger battery gets the light a longer runtime, which could be very beneficial for certain uses or people. Ultimately if you are worried about the size and weight, it would be best to stick to an 18650 headlamp like the HD15 if you want a light with the output and features of the HD20 only smaller. In conclusion the HD20 is an impressive light. It has a good feature set, and a really good runtime because of the larger battery. It's not for everyone because it is big, but it will certainly fit someone that is looking for longer runtimes with this style of light. I'm personally hoping Wurkkos refreshes this model and gives it an sft40 led for the thrower emitter.

I liked the idea of the Olight Perun 2, but not the price. After buying a Wurkkos Ts10 for everyday carry and being blown away by the build quality and features (best 14500 EDC flashlight IMO) at an incredible price, I checked to see if they had a Perun competitor. The HD20 meets or exceeds Olight specs at less than half the price. While the Perun 2 turbo mode puts out 2,500 lumens compared to the HD20's 2,000 lumens, the HD20 has better flexibility in the normal and more useful modes. The HD20 has a much better moonlight mode at 1 lumen vs the Perun 2's 5 lumens and this is a much more used function than turbo's brief output. The HD20 also features strobe and SOS modes and has two emitter (spot and wide) vs the Perun 2's single emitter which allows way more flexibility in beam pattern and brightness. Additionally, the HD20 also comes with a higher capacity battery - 5,000 mAh vs the Perun 2's 4,000. The HD20 also emits a slightly warmer/neutral light at 5,000K while the Perun 2 appears to output in the cool/blue 6,000K range (some may prefer cool light over warm though). A simple USB-C cable charges the HD20 whereas the Perun 2 will use OLight's proprietary (and nifty) magnetic charger. For charging on the go, USB charging is easier and universal though. The HD20's build quality is great and I love the orange anodized body - though Olight offers more color options than Wurkkos does. The area Wurkkos models suffer a bit compared to Olight is often the pocket clip - the Ts10 clip is rather lackluster (I immediately replaced it with a clip from an Olight Perun 2 Mini, which is THE ideal solution). However, I'm happy to report the HD20 pocket clip is great - on par with Olight. You can attach it under the head of the light (as pictured) for a more mid-body mount, OR you can flip it and attach it just above the tail cap, which allows more of a deep carry option (much preferred). The pocket clip on the Perun 2 also appears to be able to attach above the tail cap, but the HD20 layout offers mid and deep carry options while the Perun 2 is just deep carry on both ends. Overall, with the frequent sales, you can get an HD20 for nearly 1/3rd of the price of a Perun 2 and have better lighting modes, 2 emitters, more battery capacity, and universal charging without sacrificing build quality, aesthetics, or reliability. I can't recommend the HD20 more highly and Wurkkos overall has become my go-to flashlight brand. Buy an HD20 for your backpack, and while you're at it, pick up a TS10 (and a Perun 2 Mini clip) for your pocket - both are absolute steals of a deal.

I owned it for 3 years with occasional use. In that time I faced two major issues which resulted in deductions. 1. The wide throw burned itself out. I had it on turbo. I took it with me to my campground bathroom. The flashlight didn't feel hot so I assumed all was well. Mid business the light turns blue and then goes out. Unfortunate. 2. I was charging it. Mid charge I unplugged it then plugged it back in. 5 minutes later my mom says that she smells something burning. I go to the flashlight. It's too hot to hold but didn't burn my carpet. It smells like like burning plastic chemicals. It never turned on again. I'm glad that the board went out rather than the battery. Maybe this is a safety feature? All I know is that my flashlight doesn't work anymore. Even days later the smell is strong enough to fill my garage. I really liked the flashlight while it worked. I brought it with me for every excuse I had. The battery life and brightness were so good that I stopped using my shop flood light and just brought the flashlight instead. This made car repairs much easier, especially with the magnetic back. I like that the power button is on the end. It's easier to find than other flashlights which have the power button on the side. As a personal preference my next flashlight will have a smaller battery. At high brightness the light gets hot. For long periods of time you're best off using the medium mode. Battery life at medium mode is 22 hours. That's excessive. I went months without charging this flashlight. You're better off getting a smaller battery that results in a more nimble light weight flashlight. As good as it was I have to give it a low rating for its two failures. These are issues that can be improved with a better design. Some of Wurkkos other flashlights list automatic turbo stepdown as a feature. This HD20 supposedly has "(ATR) technology: ATR automatically reduces the brightness level when the driver temperature reaches 60°C to prevent overheating Low voltage warning". Apparently that's not cutting it.

Wurkkos makes really reliable lights. This is my third from them. As a flashlight, it produces bright, clear light with good throw and spread. Which is ideal for a headlamp. The head gear is comfortable, and is not prone to sliding despite the weight of the light being noticeable. That's a good thing, the weight. It's enough that since the straps are not going to move around, it also won't bounce as you move. Only complaint I can think of is that the rubber is solid enough that it can take some effort to get the light in and out of the holder. Which ain't much of a complaint since it points to good durability long term

This is a fantastic right-angle flashlight that I would take for general use with long runtime! If you don't consider yourself too knowledgeable about flashlights, I think you will be very satisfied with it. If you're an enthusiast, I think you'll really appreciate just how unique it is compared to other right-angle lights. It has several special features that I'll discuss below: ~~PROS~~ 1. DUAL outputs- This light has two LEDs. The Cree XP-L serves as the spotlight while the Samsung LH341D serves as the *high color accuracy* floodlight. Supremely helpful for lighting up the scene for YOUR specific application while saving battery life. Triple click to choose the next LED on-off combo. Click-hold to cycle through the different combos of LED on-off. 2. MAGNETIC tail- I personally love having magnets in my flashlights, especially right-angled lights. There are so many hands-free applications where being able to stick the light on anything that can be magnetized comes in really *handy*. 3. 21700 cell- A big battery means longer runtimes. 4. ON-BOARD USB C recharging- A covered port on the back of the light allows you to charge the light without taking out the battery! 5. CHARGING other devices- This light serves as a power bank! While it can't charge iPhones (Wurkkos makes this clear), it can charge many other devices using the same USB C port on the back. 6. ACCESSORIES aplenty- The box contains a reversible carry clip, soft rubber/elastic headband, lanyard, spare o-rings, USB A-to-C charging cable, and 18650 adapter tube. This is a *lot* of extra useful stuff. 7. QUALITY worksmanship- The green anodization is both beautiful and smooth. It is a joy to hold in the hand. 8. DESCRIPTIVE e-switch LEDS- flashing blue switch LED means charging, solid blue means charged, orange means charging other devices. 9. GOOD UI- The UI includes an electronic lockout so that the light doesn't turn on in your pocket (otherwise easy to do because of the top button). It is just as complicated as necessary to be useful. ~~CONS~~ The cons are few and minor, but should be noted for the potential buyer (and for Wurkkos to consider when making improvements). 1. LOW mode is too high- The lowest setting should be a moonlight mode (either 1 lumen or sublumen), or at least customizable to be that low. 2. SPACING of modes and ramping- I do wish there was an extra step (to make a total of four) in the brightness sequence and a ramping mode like in other Wurkkos lights. I also wish manufacturers in general would allow users to set custom steps. This would not be too difficult to program and would provide tons of versatility. It doesn't have to be as complicated as the Anduril UI found on other enthusiast flashlights. 3. HEAVY for a headlamp- While this light can be used as a headlamp, it is rather heavy. The included strap might work well on a helmet, but it quickly becomes uncomfortable on the head. The light is definitely noticeable as you move your head to look around. 4. TALL- At 4.8 inches, it's a tiny bit too tall for my average man hands. I can definitely operate it with one hand, but I have to reposition a little bit to unblock the lights after I do. ~~MISCELLANEOUS~~ 1. REVERSIBLE body tube- See pics, but the tube is symmetric and works either way. 2. MASSES for various pieces- Flashlight (no battery): 86.0 g Included battery: 74.1 g Flashlight (w/ battery): 160.1 g Clip: 8.1 g Headstrap: 45.4 g Flashlight & headstrap: 205.5 g 3. BEAMSHOTS- Only look at these beamshots to see the *relative* brightnesses and beam patterns of the LEDS on low mode. They were taken on a phone, so I did not hold exposure constant. The first beamshot is the XP-L spotlight, second is the LH351D floodlight, third is both.

Bought this flashlight to replace an old and weakening handheld, but it has become my go-to all-purpose light. All of my previous flashlights were of the replaceable-battery variety, nothing fancy but a good variety including AA-powred handhelds, D-powered torches, small headlamps, magnetic work lights, etc. I thought this light would simply be a rechargeable alternative, but thanks to the included attachments and multiple light modes, it has replaced them all. The biggest difference is on nighttime outdoor walks - this light is far brighter (in the two stronger modes) than any of the rest, and has less of a negative effect on the color of whatever it is pointed at. I feel much more comfortable with it than without it. I use the head mount more than I thought too - at first it seemed to heavy to be useful, but I have gotten accustomed to it and it now bothers me about the same as my cheap AAA-powered headlamp while being much brighter with way more throw outdoors. Heat hasn't been an issue for me but it is noticeable in the strongest mode. I probably wouldn't leave it at maximum power for more than 5-10 minutes at a time, but this mode is so strong that it is not usually needed for more than a few seconds in my experience. Also, I expected that it there would be some battery life limitation due to it being rechargeable, but i got weeks between charges and all seems fine. USB-C makes charging a breeze. The only thing I would maybe want is to be able to attach/detach it from the head mount more quickly - currently it takes a while to do this and therefore it is more practical to just keep the head mount installed all the time, even when carrying the flashlight in pocket. No stars docked for this as I am not sure how to achieve it without making the mount more complicated and less reliable. In conclusion, it's a small-ish, light-ish all-purpose light that does what all of my other lights do combined, and costs only a bit more than any single one of them, and it blows away anything you could buy at a Walmart or a hardware store for anywhere near its price point.

This was my 4th light from this brand. This one I broke after 9 months hard use. The feel, finish, and brightness of this light was definitely very good. The magnet on the bottom was very strong and worked great. the headlamp strap tore within a week. Don't plan on using this as a headlamp. After some drops, the glass lens on the light cracked and I had to repair with super glue. after about 9 months the battery was totally shot. Tried replacing with another battery but then soon after the rest of the internals started to fail. The design and quality of the light were fantastic but it didn't have the durability to hold up to daily use. I'm an industrial mechanic for reference. I've started using lights from the brand Coast and I've found their durability to be better. Not as pretty as a design, but the durability is more important to me.
