Battery sucks
3 years ago
The light color temperature and flood are great, but the battery life stinks. I work outside in the oil field. When it gets cold at night, the batterie life is worse. This product would be better with two 2 removable 18650 batteries. I have since bought a headlamp from fenix and it blows this away. If the battery dies, i just grab another off the charger and dont have to wait all day for a recharge.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Magnetic hardhat base is probably the best feature
a year ago
Has been on my hardhat for over 2 years. Rained on, dropped, and alot of use. Working with the tools or as qc, it hasn't failed me yet. The best part is always having the light readily available. Just turn it on when needed or grab it off there and point it where needed. That or slap it on a scaffold pan above you and have some area light.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great little light
3 years ago
I recently bought this light from the big box store and glad I did. I've been using the AAA Milwaukee headlamp for a while now and it's really good but it eats batteries like crazy. When I saw this I had to try it and glad I did. This thing is super bright and comfortable to use. Overall great product and I recommend it.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Bad battery
4 months ago
I have had this 2012R headlamp for a few years and really like it for work around the house. Having said that, the battery life was bad to begin with, now it is REALLY BAD. I would like to try a replacement battery to see if that helps. If it does, and holds, this would be a 5 with the comfort and all the features.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Great Light
2 years ago
Many options for having different amounts of light. Works great for up close work. Many reviews about the battery not lasting. It would be great if it had better capacity or could be used while charging. Milwaukee states it will last 2 1/2 hours and it does so I’m not sure why so many reviews trash it for that.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Disappointed

Love it but the battery life is terrible, I wear it at work and by the time I need to use in around 5pm the battery only lasts around 20 minutes. It hasn’t been terribly cold either. Around 0 degrees, really though it would be better

Battery won’t hold a charge.

I love the idea of the head lamp and it was my favorite light for about 3 months, but now the battery won’t hold a charge. For the price I pay for Milwaukee tools I expect to have superior tools. I am very disappointed.

Battery life could be better.

With the exception of battery life, love it. Not fun when in the middle of a job and it starts to flicker and goes out. I do like that it’s lightweight. Fits well. And plenty bright for what I need.

The best personal task light!

It combines the best of all lights. Rechargeable being a big plus, but the ability to detach and place the light on a work surface via magnets is icing on the cake. Love it.

Best investment ive made in years
2 years ago
Not sure if i got an updated model or something judging by these other reviews, but this is the absolute best freakin headlamp i have seen anywhere!! Battery life is definitely dang near 2 hours on high setting in my experience, at first i thought not but when youre working at night in a garage 2 hours goes quicker than youd think. Low settings can definitely push it longer, although i find it hard to change from the high sometimes because man its so bright!! Dont even need stand lights half the time bc this thing is more than enough. Literally drove a golfcart in pitch black w no other light but this on high and it was awesome!! Everyone ive showed has been blown away. The magnet holder is truly the best most useful part about it. Dont need to crane your head to see in tight spots or carry an extra pen light for them - just pull it off and angle it so you can see where you need to, and when youre done it goes back on the head super easy. The ONLY reason im giving 4 instead of 5 stars is i really really want them to work inside the charge controller so that this bad boy can turn on while being charged from a power bank or usb plug etc. Either that or put an inductance charger in the magnetic holder and one of the redlithium 3.0 batts on the back of the head strap like other models... i use this thing every dang day and i want more!!
