hey how you guys doing this William Irish miss outdoors out here film will Chris out at a buddy of our property that lets us do classes out here and come on here do videos and stuff like that but today what I want to do is I want to bring a flashlight video due to you guys got maybe one more flashlights that i'm going to do i've done the two kind of baton flashlights that i let it carry and then i'm going to show you the two headlamps that I'll cycle through either that or I sometimes we even bring both of them with me but what i have here for your day is a through night headlamp that i've been using for about a year now and it's one of my favorite headlamps and i know this has been reviewed a lot on youtube but you know it's one that I really like and just used to be Chris's actually he gave this to me like I said probably around a year ago or something like that and i've been using it ever since and really just wanted to put it through its paces before I shot a video of my own about it to bring it to my viewers but we're going to get to some of the operations of this and why I like it so much alright so i always i am a big proponent of proponent of headlamps because you know if you are meaning these at night for in camp or you know walking back to camp or what have you you're going to want to have your hands-free you know i'm trying to get into my bag I'm trying to work I'm trying to cut wood what have you you know if this is on your head you're not holding a flashlight like this you'll be able to work I mean it's just as simple as that that's cool the main reason why i like headlamps and like I said sometimes I'll even carry 2 i'll carry one on my hip pack and then something like this will go into my main bag and usually will stay at Camp one of my hip pack is a smaller light that can be charged through USB feel like an external charger or something like that and it's like I said it's smaller so I like to actually carry that one on my side and I'll be showing you guys that not too long from now but this th-10 is one of my favorite headlamps because one is powered by 18650 battery and this lasts a long time I usually won't even have to charge it through a whole you know three or four day of camp depends on how i'm using it be honest with you and to i like it because of how bright it can be i mean this thing will flood out an animal like that they just will stand still right in their tracks and it'll light up you know my whole camp basically i like it for ease of use you know some flashlights and headlamps you the buttons are really hard to get to and its really wonky you know i don't like that then they have like all these different modes and stuff like that and then strobe which I can't even think of a situation where I would actually need strobe you know but this is one button very easy to use on off if you want turbo right away you want as bright as it could be you double-click can't be any simpler than that guys this button is proud of the body the flashlight body itself I like that I don't like recess buttons the only problem is sometimes this can hit something in your bag since the button is proud it can hit something to maybe turn on that might be the only issue i have i've actually had that happen once but other than that i learned that if you fold this up it's on like a rubber mount basically and once this is on your head the curvature of your forehead basically but will tighten that up and but you can still move it see the some news pretty good but I don't have a problem with it like saggin or anything we get but to kind of address the issue of it actually turning on in my bag I just kind of fold it up before I store it like that and you see that space that I have there now between the button and the amount that kind of fixed that problem I haven't had it happen again so but like I said with this flashlight headlamp so one of the only headlamps that I've kept the center strap on because it is a little bit heavier than most of the headlamps that I'm used to so I did keep that center strap there I usually don't like these centres straps like take them off but like I said this is the only one that i actually did keep that on for a little bit more stability as far as that goes and you know this is like i said one of my favorite is very comfortable favorite flashlight headlamp one button turns it on has a nice flood and we're going to show you all that here when it gets dark it's only about it's only about four o'clock right now but on off turbo turbo all the pertinent information for the lumens and all that stuff will be in below in the video right here I don't have the exact numbers on me right now but as far as turbo mode goes if you do fire that up for too long it will get a little warm but just what the medium or whatever this is I think this would be high so that would be high in that turbo but if I get into the camera that is like a moon light medium high and then like I said turbo the only way to get through to your bow is like I think it's off and then double click but alright so let's go over to my shelter and I'll show you some of the reasons why I decided that this is really one of my favorite flashlights because it's so versatile and what the things that I can do further into my kid all right so we're kind of wrapping up to date i'm all that i can do during the daytime of this flashlight just wanted to show you the light itself the functions of it and how comfortable it is on ahead as far as other headlamps go it is a tad bit on the heavy side but what it is heavy it makes up in you know function functionality i believe that these function is kind of like a heat sink i could be wrong i'm not an engineer but like i said if you run this thing on turbo a little bit too long it will heat up something to think about but one of the reasons why i really like this like i said is that it runs on 118 650 battery and i believe you could put what two one two threes in it yeah exactly but i like 18650 battery because of another through night product that i purchased from them because when I seen it got the gears turning really good uh is this charger and it comes with a micro USB and so this is dead I can charge my flashlight battery if I need to via an external battery pack which I have here from anchor and that thing is like 20,000 mmmh over 20,000 MMH to last it lasts me more than a weekend so let me get this cat down so two things either i can charge a dead battery with this or you know as far as like electronic gadgets and stuff like that in the woods I really don't depend on too much I carry an e-cig and a phone so if my e-cig kind of goes down a little I could put a little bit of a charge from it from my 8650 or I can charge the 18 650 s via external hard drive via external battery pack through the USB so as long as I keep this hard I keep want to call too hard drive for some reason as long as I can keep this battery pack charging with me like I said this last me at least three or four days in the woods because I don't really charge nothing but my phone maybe over now and then and my e-cig as long as I have that I'm always going to have light in the woods and I can if I absolutely have to and I have a charged 18 650 I can put a little bit of a charge of my phone and get it you know the odd text out or something like that if I absolutely have to so that's why I carry these two things alright guys obviously as you can see is nighttime out we're going to finish the review of the TC 10 as you can see it's on my head right now like I said it's a little bit heavier than other headlamps that I have but it's it's worth it because what this the functionality of the light itself plus what it can do not just as a light you know the batteries that can have to wait charges the way that I can charge other perennial units that I have so let's go through and look at the light itself I'm going to go ahead and turn that off Chris and we're going to start out with moonlight I guess nope you know so again it goes so fast through your cycles hi that's moonlight lowest setting that it has still plenty to go through camp stuff like that really okay I guess that would be medium maestro
that's high
that's funny why Lenny lie and turn off and double-click not be turbo like i said if i run this for too long on turbo will warm up a little bit but it's not really that bad for the money you know i'll put the price of this light in the description below but you know for what this light does and you know for the for the money it's worth it to me it's like I said one of my favorite lights but this has been the review of the TC 10 hope you enjoyed it and we'll see on the next one
