Summary

Whether it says Skilhunt or ESKTE – the H150 is an awesome headlamp! Small, supports Li-ion and NiMH batteries, can be charged via a magnetic adapter and the Nichia version gives you a beautiful, neutral light with high CRI. The beam is floody enough for a headlamp, but still achieves some usable throw. The comfortable and well thought-out head mount makes this a perfect set.

Is there anything bad to say about the H150? Not much. The magnetic charging port could become a problem if you have a lot of metal shavings around. The mechanical reverse polarity protection prevents the use of flat-top batteries. But otherwise? I can’t think of anything.

I can, without hesitation, recommend the ESKTE H150 to anyone looking for a small headlamp. But it also works good as a universal hand lamp.

Oh wow, this could be a replacement for my Skilhunt H04, which I find a bit too big and heavy for my purposes. If I can find a decent and compact 14500 thrower to accompany it, I think I'll make the switch.
