Best praise vs top criticism for Sofirn HS21
“TBH, get a headlamp. You want your hands free and a headlamp always lights up what your head is turned to. Sofirn HS21 is my recommendation, it's just a great overall headlamp and costs ~30 bucks or so”
“the HS21 is front heavy and you Must wear the the headstrap that goes over the top of your head or it will flop down onto your nose. Its appeal is that it also includes Red Light, which is less attractive to flying bugs. The HD10 is much lighter and no need for an over the top strap but it has no Red Light mode, and the Anduril UI is very full featured, which for some people is way too complicated and confusing. another option, with both red and white light is the Wurkkos HD15R.. I think it is a good option for a light with both White and Red light enjoy your summer! ;-)”
