Summary: 4 Stars
I own both a Rayovac headlamp & an Energizer headlamp and am pleased with both. I am posting the same review in each as a side-by-side comparison...
Energizer: weighs ~2.9 ounces (81 grams) with batteries / 3 AAA batteries, side-by-side, with a snap tight cover which is removed with a coin, key, or screwdriver / 2 red LEDs (for low impact on natural night vision), 4 white LEDs (2 focused forward and 2 "flood") / swivel head / single strap around your head (adjustable) / switch is a push button toggle on the top of the unit / switch positions are: red LEDs, 2 front focused LEDs, 2 side LEDs, or all 4 white LEDs
Rayovac: weighs ~4.4 ounces (125 grams) with batteries / 3 AAA batteries in a cylindrical cartridge which is closed with a threaded cap / 2 red LEDs (for low impact on natural night vision), 1 white LED, 1 Krypton bulb / swivel head / 1 strap around your head and 1 over the top (both are adjustable) / switch is a rotating knob on the opposite end of the battery cap / switch positions are: red LEDs, single white LED, or Krypton bulb
Pros & Cons: Both headlamps do an excellent job of freeing up your hands. I use the Rayovac when working around the house or on the car because the single white LED is more than sufficient lighting in close quarters. The Rayovac also has increased stability due to the additional strap. I use the Energizer when working outdoors because of the brightness afforded by additional LEDs. I would not recommend the Rayovac single white LED for seeing at a distance outside. I find the 4 Energizer LEDs are brighter than the Rayovac Krypton bulb, as well. Although the Energizer is definitely brighter, I find that it adds a slight glare to my vision--which the Rayovac does not. The Energizer push button switch can be difficult to press, especially while wearing it. The Rayovac is definitely my favorite of the two, but I'd recommend the Energizer over the Rayovac if you're going to be using it outside for things like evening yard work or camping.
