Klein Tools 56049 Rechargeable Light Array LED Headlamp with Adjustable Strap

Yes. The 56049 bracket attaches directly to Klein hard hats equipped with front/back mounts, so you can run it on a hat rather than the fabric strap. The light itself also pops out of the bracket, and the back of it carries a strong magnet so you can stick it to steel and use it as a work light.

Two output levels: 260 lumens for about 9 hours, or 125 lumens for about 14 hours. High covers a full shift; low gets you through a long day plus overtime. A colored LED battery gauge on the light tells you how much is left before you commit to a crawlspace or attic run.

Rechargeable only. It runs an internal lithium-ion battery, and you pull the light out of its bracket to charge it over the included USB-C cable. There are no replaceable cells, so on a long outage job plan on a USB power bank rather than a pack of AAAs.

Operating and charging range is 32 to 113 degrees F (0 to 45 C), so below freezing is outside what it is rated for, and charging a cold battery in an unheated truck is the usual way people shorten battery life. Storage range is wider, 14 to 131 degrees F (-10 to 55 C). For winter work, keep it inside your coat and let it come up to temperature before charging.

It carries a drop-test rating of 6 feet (1.8 m) and is dust and water resistant. The housing is ABS. That covers the usual fall off a hard hat or a step ladder onto a slab; it is not a rating for being run over or submerged.

Yes. The pivoting mount gives up to a 64 degree lighting angle, so you can tip the beam down onto a device box or a junction you are working at chest height without craning your neck. The slim profile keeps it from bouncing on the strap while you do it.

The 56049 is listed to BC, CE, NR Can, REACH and RoHS. That covers the energy and substance-restriction marks procurement usually asks for on a rechargeable hand tool going into a facility inventory.

You get the headlamp with its internal lithium-ion battery, the adjustable fabric strap with the pencil and marker holder, the pivoting bracket, and a USB-C charging cable. No separate charger purchase is needed, though the cable plugs into any USB power source you already have.

The whole unit weighs 0.3 lbs, and the light head measures 2.60 x 2.08 x 1.28 inches. The strap is fabric with a silicone grip to keep it from sliding, and it has a holder built in for a marker and a carpenter's pencil, so the pencil rides on your head instead of behind your ear.
