I have a part now already used the second winter and enjoy it still. I'd go again for the model with the battery. But you have to charge it quite often if you want to see in the distance. I use the lamp when I go with my dog in dirt roads and so I use distance vision often in the highest brightness level. The lamp is quite narrow at the top and I have more of a child's head, wearing motorcycle helmets even in the largest children size. As a man with a large head, it does hurt a bit if necessary.
