Just to leave a bit of a review, I love this thing. It's my most used flashlight, since it's very difficult to lose like my other flashlights thanks to it's magnetic base. I keep it stuck on top of my PC tower, it never gets knocked off, it's always at hand.
Whether it's handheld or in the head harness, I love that the light is side mounted. Speaking of the head harness, the flashlight fits VERY firmly in it. It can actually be a struggle to get in or out, but it's worth it considering it means the light won't move from it's desired position. As far as brightness goes, I'm no lumenphile, but I'm happy with the range of brightness, and find the highest brightness plenty; in fact, I rarely use it at full brightness. Notes: I run it on eneloops, and the light level is run on a dimmer so that you have great control on brightness.
I mostly also use it in the shop and for projects (primarily woodworking, but also metalworking, electronics, and internal PC work) where it's extremely useful. I can attach it to ferrous surfaces, which are plentiful around project areas, or use it in the head harness. The harness is very adjustable, so it can fit snugly on my head, and isn't displaced by ear protectors, safety goggles, or face shields; or all of the above put together on top of it. The variable brightness is also helpful. I might need high brightness while looking into a deep compartment, or low brightness to avoid glare on something I need a close look at with extra illumination, such as when guiding wood on the bandsaw.
I will be the first person to admit I have made some regrettable purchases in the past, but this is definitely not one of them. I'm not a cyclist, and don't get out in the bush as I'd like, so I can't comment on how good it would be outdoors. However, I would definitely recommend it for anyone who does similar shop activities or just wants something for around the house.
