Title: One of the best things I have ever bought on Amazon, and the best headlamp I have ever used, by far.
Review: It was shipped fast and delivered with no problems. I've had a lot of different brands of headlamps, but most of them were less than great. The Nebo Transcend 1500 is exceptional. The build quality and design are better than expected, and far better than any other headlamp I've ever used. The controls and functions are simple and intuitive, and easy to memorize.Some people don't like headgear that don't have a top strap, but it's not a problem with this headlamp. It's easily adjustable and comfortable, and it stays put pretty well. As for the brightness, it is completely sufficient on the medium setting for normal everyday things, and the High setting is WAY bright. I have a bicycle light that uses a 4-cell battery pack and is ridiculously bright, and this nearly matches it with only one cell. The Turbo level is even brighter, but hardly seems necessary. I can't really imagine a scenario where this headlamp isn't more than enough to do the job very well.It comes with a rechargeable 18650 cell that is slightly longer than a standard button-top (due to the Type-C charging port), but my 18650 cells that I use in other devices fit easily and work well in this headlamp. I haven't used it for extended periods yet, so I don't know how long the battery lasts. It's not super important, though, considering the fact that standard 18650 cells will fit, and it's easy enough to swap one out if necessary. I can't think of a single thing about it to criticize, and for this very low cost, it's an unmatched value. I will probably buy one or two more. Itâs pretty great to find something so excellent for such a good price.

Title: Oddly a fine light.
Review: Well, I am happily surprised about this head lamp.With my work and location lights are a must. I go through quite a few in a month. The environment just eats anything.The mechanical nob to change the light intensity is great touch.It feels tough and light weight.Fits we'll on the old head and great on the hard hat.Already dropped it down a shaft, and into a chemical bath, and it's still working

Title: Itâs Excellent
Review: Iâm a big fan of Nebo products. This one is my most used. Iâm a big hunter and I use this lamp for just about everything from ducks to turkey. Very bright on the high setting (I donât use turbo often), battery life is excellent, and the multi modes are a great range. Only improvement I could think of would be to add a low light green or red setting. Otherwise, itâs perfect.

Title: Not a true â18650â!!!!!
Review: I bought this headlamp to replace my 1000 lumen Slonik 18650 headlamp after it started acting up with only 2 years of service on it. Having 4x 18650 batteries on hand, I knew I wanted another 18650 powered headlamp.Initial thoughts: this thing feels very well built. Mode selector is firm, but not cumbersome. Very bright for a headlamp that doesnât look like a flood light on my forehead. At 750 lumen setting itâs every bit as bright as my old Slonik at its 1000 lumen setting.Pros:-Very bright for its size.-Feels well-built.-Comfortable to wear.-Mounting bracket is slotted, making it able to be mounted to a different headband.-Seems to be a good value for the price.-Magnet seems sufficient for holding its own weight.-Threads in the battery cap are nice and deep and seat nicely. (Sounds dumb, but it was honestly an issue with my Slonik trying to constantly cross thread and jump threads.)Cons:-Not a typical â18650â battery, and flat-top 18650âs will not power the light. Even the manufacturer website lists battery as 18650. Their protected and chargeable âbutton-topâ variation of the 18650 is considerably larger. One of the biggest selling points for me was that it utilized 18650 batteries because I already have a decent stash of flat top 18650âs. To add insult to injury, the button-top 18650 battery that came with this light is too long to fit in my old battery charger. Further, Nebo doesnât offer replacement batteries for this model on their website. And thereâs no way to tell who manufactured the battery that came with it; Iâve tried. Iâm hoping that itâs not a Nebo proprietary battery in its dimensions. I like having hot batteries ready to go, so when the current one becomes low, I can grab a fresh one and continue working. VERY DISAPPOINTED in the manufacturer not being more clear about the battery size being slightly off from an 18650.-For a headlamp of this caliber, I feel like an over-top of the head strap would be nice. That said, the circumference headband seems to hold well and not be slipping out of adjustment (yetâ¦). Also, by making the mounting bracket slotted, I can always put it on a headband that has more support.Currently, Iâm giving it 4 stars based on the discrepancy in battery size. Only time will tell how well it performs and holds up, but I do really want to love this headlamp. Itâs definitely an upgrade from my Slonik, and it shows in the attention to detail and quality of the unit.Update: 1/18/23: So, luckily the â18650â is not a Nebo proprietary battery. I was able to find replacements at a local Batteries Plus store. The guy in the store saw my headlamp and said âoh itâs a Neboâ¦â before disappearing to the back and returning with an 18650. He presented it to me, but I noticed that it was yet a different 18650 than the one I needed or a traditional flat top. It looked like it may have been a reversed pole 18650 or something. On the shelf we found a generic button-top 18650 that works. It is protected, but doesnât have a charging port. It is ever-so-slightly shorter than the one that came with the light, but it was still long enough to make good contact and not have room to move around inside the light. âUltralastâ branded.

Title:
Review: The headlamp itself is quite bright, no issue there. It has 3 basic modes, low, middle, and high. Turbo is activated by pressing and holding on power button, while strode light is activated by double clicking the power button.The design seems very water resistant, in line with its claim of IPX7. But the downside of this is that you must fully unscrewed the cap to extract the battery for recharging via USB cable through the power port installed on the battery itself. This is both a hassle, cannot be done during any rain, and does not allow for usage while recharging. So, pros and cons here.The alternative design would be to have a power port on the headlamp, and cover it with a rubber seal, but obviously this would be less water resistant. Supposedly, it can last 4 to 6 hours, so you may not need it recharge it during the night itself unless you are hiking through the entire night. So, this may not be too big a issue, I guess.You can either wear it as a headlamp, or detach the light module and use its magnetic base to attach it to something else to serve as a worklight. I havenât used it that long, so unclear on battery life. But overall, the design seems good. Very expensive product though at SGD 69.69 (USD 51.72).

Review: I decided to purchase the Trancend 1500 as an upgrade from my 1000. Overall the 1500 works just as well but you have to fully remove the battery from the headlamp to recharge. That means you have the 1500 broken down into 3 SEPARATE PARTS to recharge. It may not seem like much but, when outdoors, better to keep your equipment in one piece. The 1000 only requires you to loosen the knob to provide access to charging port (keeping the headlamp in one piece).

Review: La mejor linterna de este tipo que he tenido.Práctica, sólida y buena luz con buena baterÃa.Solo que no recomiendo usarla sin casco o gorra durante mucho tiempo, por qué si se calienta y es algo pesada. Pero se compensa con su potencia.
