Lowe’s launched a new Kobalt LED headlamp, and I can’t get over how weird it looks.
They took an LED light strip, added a headband, a rechargeable battery, and single button control.
The new Kobalt LED headlamp delivers up to 400 lumens of illumination and is impact rated to 3m (~10ft). There are two brightness settings.
It recharges via USB and is described as fitting over a hardhat.
According to the user manual, the battery is rated to 700mAh capacity, and it recharges via USB-C in about 2-3 hours with a 1A charger.
I’ve never seen a flexible light strip headlamp like this before, but apparently there are a bunch available on Amazon.
Light strips tend to emit diffuse light for close-up illumination, and that the strip curves around one’s head should provide floodlighting over a broader area.
What do you think, is this weird-good or not so much?
Price: $25
