| Comments | Most powerful light on the market, with good battery life. 25% lighter in weight than its predecessor. | Very powerful light, with outstanding battery life. Work all day on one set of batteries. | Wide beam for ‘deep cavity’ work. Very powerful LED light. Most popular high-end headlight on the market. | Good headlight but lacks built in batteries and relative low battery life against comparable headlights. | Clip on (light only) or fitted safety glasses for surgeons who prefer not to wear a full headset. Good battery life. | Well built but tends to get hot around bezel and does not have long battery life. Relatively expensive and has its drawbacks. | Lesser known brand offering very good crisp beam at reasonable price, but beam intensity fades after 2.5 hours. | Also has battery-belt pack option increasing operating time to 8.5 hours. Not the brightest, but good for clinics. | Good clinic headlight, but relatively expensive compared to similar products. | Good battery life but offset by poor light beam intensity. | Basic, fairly bright, well-made headlight from well-respected manufacturer. Ideal small procedure headlight. | Big, well respected name but hefty price tag for the features. |
