    I have done a bunch of reviews and I never get asked which is my go to. My go to head lamps are both made by Black Diamond. I have a big one that I use for blowing snow at night and that I bring on canoe trips. And, I have a very small one that I bring on backpacking trips. I like the Olight flashlights but I do prefer a purpose built headlamp rather than one that does double duty. For some, having the option may be preferred.

    Great review, but I wish they would offer these in a one-setting medium high mode and be done with it. You hear a bump in the night, you go outside and you gotta fumble through like 8 settings, in the meantime, bad-guy has a bead on ya.... Make an L.E. version! one setting, call it "pretty high but still retains the battery life".

    Solid red when charging and solid green when fully charged. They could have changed things up since I made the video. I'd leave it charging for a couple of hours and see if it takes a full charge. Then return it if it doesn't work.

    They are both good lights. I think it would come down to if you are interested in the headlamp option or not. My daughter uses my Freyr almost every night when she walks her dog, she says it is the 'best' because it gives a lot of light, without blinding, and feels most like a 'flashlight'. The Perun 2 is of course a right angle light and she doesn't like it as much, but it works great as a headlamp.

    Thanks so much for looking out for your viewers Sir. I've just gone for the freyr after consulting my wife. She has the olight baton (sr3 I think its called?), but wanted something more powerful for the outdoors. We watched your freyr review and think we need the beam distance it provides. That fits in with it being more of a flashlight as you advise. The perun does have high lumens and good runtime so on paper I thought it might just cut it (as well as double as a headlamp) but the freyr kills it in terms of distance. The freyr has that great beam, but also seems *just* small enough for EDC. Bearing in mind we are in between Canada and Scotland so we will have an large anorak pocket most of the year. We own a good led-lenser and a 3d LED maglite which compare to the freyr for output, but they're way too big even to fit in a parka.

    This is the worst value headlamp I've ever purchased. It does have a bright light but it is so spread it lights nothing very distinctively near or far. The head band is uncomfortable with the size adjustment buck on top of your head so if you're going under branch or brush the buckle will get caught and the lamp pulled off your head. Good luck trying to figure out in the dark which way the headband goes on if you are in darkness. It's a small overpriced hand torch
