you know I keep thinking it's gonna have to stop I mean how could they keep this
up I keep thinking at some point they'll
circle the wagons and just go with what they've got I mean it seems like Olight
has been releasing new flashlights every single month for over a year
there was the s1r the s1a the h1r the h2r the X7 Marauder p2l
Valkyrie R50 seeker and that's just to name a few but then as soon as I
start thinking that it seems like another flashlight mysteriously pops up
in my mailbox I don't run fast and I don't far so I don't really consider
myself a runner but I do run often and I really like it so when I saw that a
light came out with a running head lamp I was pretty excited unboxing we get the
usual accessory pouch our USB cable some extra clips instructions and lamp my
first impression of this light is that it's super little I you know it feels
solid and well-built not cheap at all but this is so tiny I mean it's like
hardly anything there that part right there that is the lamp and back here we
have lipo 2 thousand milliamp battery pack look at the instructions I did see
that it says to charge the battery before you use it and it also has this
battery indicator which is super nice I thought after charging the light I was a
little disappointed because I plugged it in and hit the switch and nothing
happened the main reason I mention that is because I know since it happened to
me there's a chance that could happen to somebody else and I'll tell you right
now what the deal is this right here when you plug that in see I got that
little noise it's still not connected now I pushed and pushed and pushed and
pushed some more and then I pushed again and I thought surely not surely this is
not supposed to have that gap and so I crammed as hard as I could and finally
popped in there and then all of a sudden we have light now this we did just get
the single band and not the one with the center I think that with the light
weight of this it may be enough with just a single band and we're about to
find out it isn't quite dark yet but I'm freaking out and I want to go try it and
the thing that I'm the most worried about is just you know like with
constant bobbing up and down am I really gonna want to wear this for the entire
time I'm outside running or is it gonna fall down around my ears okay while
other me is out there doing the run test we'll just go over the rest of the specs
of the light looking at this I feel like it has kind of almost a minimalist look
but still very rugged like for example it has a small light battery pack but a
great quality this nice thick cord the switch and the lamp that's it there's no
bells no whistles and yet it's super functional looking at this optic here
we've got two LEDs in there and I'm wondering if maybe Olight didn't even
make their own optic because looking at that I can see that there's a frosted
optic and and unfrosted for a wide beam and a tight beam I really like their
placement of this switch too because rather than having it right here where
you get in your own way and fumble around up here with this bit you just
reach up here and give it a tap now when I first picked it up I'll be honest I
thought that the user interface was a little
but complicated but after I used it about one time it's it really is pretty
intuitive it's like this single click is on and a single click after that is
always your high to low and if you want to change the function basically right
now you get both LEDs you have the wide beam and the spot and if you want to
cycle between them you double click you've got your wide beam double click
again spot beam double click again it's both and no matter which one you've got
on there you cycle low to high with one click always to go off press and hold so
far so good it seems to be staying on my bald head just fine I've tested enough
of Olights products to know that their numbers are pretty legit but I went
ahead and stuck this in my lumen tube anyway with only this little bit of
metal for heat sinking I was wondering if our 2x PG 2 LEDs were going to
overheat this at 400 lumens or if they had incorporated a turbo timer I'm
really happy about that I don't think having a turbo timer on this type of
light makes sense and even though the head did get warm I didn't lose any skin
so I'm cool with that let's check in and see how our run test
is going
I'm hot I'm tired I've been running her 13 straight minutes and it's not even
dark yet the beam of the Olight HS2 running headlamp is really useful
I like how soft and perfect it is having the option of a flood as well as a spot
makes it ideal for switching terrain conditions
now we'll have a look at the different beam profiles first is the wide mode
spot both lamps both lamps on low only the wide which would be the lowest
grunting is a hobby you're into I suggest watching Casey Neistat video
my addiction it was pretty sweet don't forget let us know in the comments
