Is the outer lens curved as with a traditional headlamp? Spome have a flat lens,which I do not care for. Thanks in advance. Jerry

These have a very slight curve no where near the curve of a traditional sealed beam. If you don't like the flat style lens then these aren't for you.

Mine is flat. I like a nice curved one, but they do have nipples on them so you can adjust them. You can set them up so they can shine them right where you want. They are very smooth which makes it nice to wipe off when they get covered in goo. I thought about getting them covers but I like it when can see them, fully exposed.

It is a flat outer lens, but I have installed a pair on two jeeps and it isn't noticeable. But on some vehicle I can see where it would throw the look off.

No they have a flat lens. KC makes a curved headlamp, it looks a lot like the Jeep jk headlights.

Its straighter than it looks, the light is at more of an angle. When you put the lense face down flat on an object the light provides adiquete lighting for display

That's funny, I didn't notice that when I ordered mine. Must just be a typo. The one they sent me is a headlight and has a battery-pack that plugs into the cord. Pretty decent light, but you have to make sure to unplug it from the battery when you're not using it or it will drain the battery very quickly.

Hi Andrae, the flat lense is designed to work that way and can't be changed physically. -Vincent

The headlamp does swivel downward by clicks, all the way down to 90 degrees. It does not swivel to the sides.

Talk about BD (Bad Design). The bulb on mine burned out after three days, so I quickly discovered that loosening the 4-screws around the lens was useless. Then I realized the lens (acts as a UV filter plus a guard should the bulb disintigrate) was held on place by a retaining "O" ring, open at one place. You need to unplug the lamp, insert a screw driver blade to press the "O" ring towards the center (reducing its circumference) and thereby drop it out along with the lens onto the floor. Not the way I'd design it, but that's how it works. Remember: only handle the bulb with a cloth between your skin and the quartz. Skin oil can make the quartz, upon heating, explode....so remember to put the UV safety lens back, just in case you did get the quartz oily.

The light comes with a head strap... It's terrible. I cut the straps off and zip tied it to my helmet. I would suggest buying the 3 LED one for the helmet mount though. This light is really heavy in comparison and it can move a lot on the downhill. I mount one of these to my handlebars, then use a 3 led on my helmet. The three is a little less bright, but using it in combination with this light, you will be set in all light conditions.

Sorry, unsure, but Amazon shows a helmet mount for a cygolite for $13.64I went to Lowes and bought their (LED Lenser 880002 H7 LED headlamp) $40.00I used 2 zip ties to mount the lamp in front and the battery pack in back. The light is adjustable from a wide beam to a narrow focus. The narrow beam has amazing distance viewing of a couple hundred feet. I used mine for commuting to work at 6am during the winter months. I primarily liked it because it is a lot smaller in its profile, otherwise I felt like a unicorn with the metro version. Good luck

Thanks for the input. The light is flexible and an improvement over past attempts, but I had hoped this higher end version would be a true upgrade. Still a good light.

I agree with Brent's answer if I recall correctly on the function, tough I have resold this light in favor of replacing it with another light. The InForce was a great little tac-light. My only concern was one of cosmetics, as it is listed when I bought it as FDE but was not the same as a standard Magpul(like) Flat Dark Earth in color. It was quite a bit lighter in color (more like a light tan) and did not exactly match the custom FDE AR-15 I was building. I believe they list it as tan now. I seem to remember the function as: 1 tap constant, 2 taps strobe, 1 long tap gets you momentary... I really did like the little size of it, shape & mounting. Very cool!

Dear Kevin, If you were to hold a white piece of paper in front of the lamp at 6" away, it would seem as if it were a spotlight. However, there's no focus arrangement in the reflector geometry or in the lens. The LED chip is simply flat. So, at 12" from the fixture, the light pattern begins to lose shape. These people don't speak English.....They just want people to buy their products. These people told me their 12VDC devices were 120vac. I bought 10 mixed ac and DC fixtures for the boat, and had to take each and every one of them apart to verify the power supply/LED driver module, AND, to get rid of the USELESS pigtail arrangement. The flexible cord connectors all needed to be reworked in my lathe, in order to fit waterproof (SOOW) 14/2 AWG in them without a nightmare splicing. They're cheap, er, inexpensive, and mostly watertight, which is their saving grace.

I do not recall. It was returned because it didn't work. We ended up going with the WindFire® 1800 Lumens CREE XM-L T6 U2 LED Waterproof 3 Modes Design Zoomable Rotating Headlamp CREE LED Headlight 18650 Rechargeable Battery Head LED. It is great and it does tilt. Good luck.

The standard lens is a spot. The Wide angle creates a horizontal rectangle of light. The ideal set up for night mountain biking is to have the spot on your helmet and the wide angle on your handle bar. Works great!

hi, i have both tn31 and tn35...BOTH great thrower flashlights for beam distance. I have used both on a 1/2 mile straight stretch of highway here in fairbanks and BOTH lit up road for easily half that distance and reflected the signs 1/2 mile away. the tn31 was 89.00 and 1700 lumens. The tn35 was 135.00 and 2700 lumens..both were great light with tn35 being a little brighter is all and better spread:) but for 89.00 the tn31 is no slouch:) As far as dropping them...I do not do that sorry. They have a 2 year warrenty now and even after that will fix it at parts/labor. the people that shoot them or throw them all over is just plain stupid for such a nice light. You can break anything if you try but WHY??? I dont do that stuff,sorry. hope this helped

The headlamp can twist about 15º in either direction from the mounting band. You'd have to measure the angle of the stem on your bike and, of course, you'd like it to be angled slightly downward to light up the road not straight ahead. My guess is mounting it the way you want may be a problem.

No. Its a fixed, non adjustable head. For its size (very small) it is VERY bright. You won't be disappointed.

It is a very bright white light that casts light forward of the headlamp. There is peripheral red light that is noticeable, however does not cast any light forward. Personally, I seldom notice it when looking forward into the white light. If this bothers Tyler, simple wrap a piece of black friction tape or other opaque tape around the red ring. Guaranteed, you won't be bothered by the red light anymore.
