The Wurkkos HD12 Headlamp is a really impressive compact headlamp that also works well as a standalone light. So if you travel with this, no need to take a second light.It has a relatively simple interface that allows users to select three levels of regular output along with turbo and moonlight. The light also allows quick access to red led (steady at variable levels and blinking). It takes a little to get used to the interface but once you've used it a few times its very straightforward and intuitive (and fortunately doesn't have hard to used complicated programming modes).The light can be used standalone as a mini right angle light, or the light can be clipped into the head strap, for use as a headlamp. Because the unit is very small and light, it fits comfortably on the head.The box says it is 850 lumens. While I have no way to test that, in comparison to other lights I have, it does put out a lot of light. If it matters to you, the light has a cool tint... not far on the cool side, but definitely more cool than warm.No built in charging, but the light uses 14500 batteries, and in a pinch can run with a good nicad or alkaline (though brightness and longevity will suffer). Mine came with a 14500.Overall its a very impressive and practical flashlight/headlight.

i have tried a few wurkkos lights and they are great. this time i needed a simple light with a more simple operation (anduril models are a little bit too much learning effort for the younger ones) so i went with the HD12. super simple to use. exactly what i needed. easy charging. flexible usages: handheld, clip to pocket, headlamp. really straightforward. highly recommended.

This headlamp does everything I need it to do and more. It’s lightweight for long term use, but still bright from the many LED’s. It also had red LED’s to prevent as many bugs from flying around when working outside or camping.The USB-C charging is convenient and works well to keep the battery full and ready to go. It works with both a 14500 and AA battery for emergencies. The button also is nice since it’s made of metal and has a battery level indicator light.Im glad it comes with a pocket clip for when not being used as a headlamp. You can clip it to a pocket or backpack. Overall, a versatile and lightweight headlamp that feels durable for all kinds of uses.

[Wurkkos HD12 Headlamp 850Lumen EDC Rechargeable Mini AA Headlamp LED Flashlight with White Red Light Ultra-Light Bright Headlight Waterproof Head Lamp for Outdoor Camping,Hiking,Working(5000K) - $36.99]Small flashlight that can be mounted to a head strap. Not bad. I like that it came with a rechargeable battery but can also be used with standard AA. The max brightness is not amazing but it's reasonable. My main con is that changing modes is not intuitive, but there are a lot of modes!Given the small battery, you might wanna keep a spare battery or two nearby if you intend to use it much.

I was pleasantly surprised by how incredibly bright this headlamp is for its small size! Despite being compact, the HD12 delivers an impressive 1,100 lumens on its highest setting, easily lighting up a wide area. Whether for camping, working in tight spaces, or emergency situations, this little powerhouse gets the job done.What I Love About It:✔ Super Bright Output – At 1,100 lumens, this headlamp is incredibly powerful for its size. The beam is well-balanced between flood and throw, making it great for both close-up work and distance lighting.✔ Great Battery Flexibility – Works with both AA and 14500 batteries, which is really convenient. The 14500 battery delivers full brightness, while an AA battery still provides a decent output in a pinch.✔ Long Runtime – On low mode, it can run for over 30 hours, which is fantastic for extended use. Even on higher brightness settings, the battery holds up well.✔ Durable & Lightweight – Built tough with an aluminum body, yet light enough to wear comfortably as a headlamp.✔ Magnetic Tail & Clip – The built-in magnet is handy for hands-free use, and the pocket clip makes it easy to carry.Any Downsides?Honestly, not much! If you’re using an AA battery, the brightness is lower than with a 14500, but that’s expected.Final Verdict:If you need a compact but powerful headlamp with great battery flexibility and long runtime, the Wurkkos HD12 Mini is an excellent choice. It’s bright, well-built, and packed with useful features. Definitely a solid 5-star product!

Pros: good mount, simple UI, good performance with AA batteries, red LEDs can get nice and bright.Cons:White LEDs have an awful green tint on my sample, and apparently far lower CRI than initially advertised. I notice the product listing no longer contains any references to 90+ CRI. I don't know what the emitters are, but they look like pretty standard 70 CRI stuff with washed-out colors and poor red rendering. Why would you not use a 519A on this light? Plenty of other Wurkkos lights have them.The clip only attaches one way (head up), which isn't ideal because to push the light down into your pocket, you're pushing on the power button. Which also isn't great -- sloppy actuation and lots of side to side play. The clip can't be on the light while the light is in the headband mount, unless you rotate it around 180 degrees.
