Streamlight Bandit USB Headlamp with Headstrap, Hat Clip & USB Cord - Black

The Streamlight Bandit USB headlamp is a compact, hands-free light engineered for hunters, night runners, mechanics, and anyone who needs reliable illumination while keeping both hands free. Weighing just 1.3 ounces and measuring 2.7 inches long, this lightweight headlamp delivers 180 lumens of bright, even diffused light—the kind that spreads naturally across your work area rather than creating harsh shadows. That even beam pattern makes it ideal for close-range tasks where shadow and contrast matter, from field dressing game to working on engine components in low light.

Built for durability in the field, the Bandit features impact-resistant polycarbonate construction and IPX4 weather resistance, so rain, sweat, and the occasional tumble won't sideline it. The USB rechargeable lithium polymer battery charges directly in the light—no separate charger needed—in about two hours, and a multi-function push-button switch with a charging indicator (red while charging, green when full) keeps you informed. Three output modes give you flexibility: High delivers the full 180 lumens for 2 hours, Low drops to 35 lumens and stretches runtime to 9.5 hours for extended use, and Emergency Flash cycles the high output for signaling.

The package includes an elastic headstrap for wearing it on your head, a visor clip for hat or cap mounting, and a 5-inch USB cord. That versatility means you can adapt it to whatever task is in front of you—mount it to your hunting cap, clip it to a visor, or strap it on your forehead for hands-free work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear the Bandit headlamp on a baseball cap or hunting hat?

Yes. The package includes both an elastic headstrap that fits directly on your head and a visor clip that attaches to the brim of a cap or hat, so you can choose whatever mounting works best for your situation.

How long does it take to charge the Bandit?

The lithium polymer battery charges in approximately 2 hours. The light has a built-in USB charging port, so you just plug in the included 5-inch USB cord—no separate charger required. A multi-function button shows charging status with a red indicator while charging and green when fully charged.

Is the Bandit weather-resistant enough for hunting in the rain?

The Bandit has IPX4 weather resistance and is impact-resistant polycarbonate construction tested to 2-meter drops, so it handles rain, sweat, and field use well. That said, it's not submersible, so avoid prolonged immersion in water.

What brightness should I use for hunting or close-range work?

The 180-lumen High mode delivers bright, even light ideal for detailed work and runs for 2 hours. For longer sessions where maximum brightness isn't critical, the 35-lumen Low mode extends runtime to 9.5 hours. The diffused beam spreads light evenly across your work area with minimal harsh shadows, making it well-suited to close-range tasks like field dressing or camp prep.
