How would this be for running at night? Does the lamp bounce on the headstrap, and would the pivoting feature be an issue?

The answer to your question is yes . it does bounce and after a while becomes rather loose, however I cut a piece of stickyback velcro and placed it behind the light and it works very well . Hope this helps

Not if worn the opposite way of the hinge - I have not had an issue as of yet - I am actually looking to purchase another for a friend - the light is so versatile - they are going to use for biking -

I found that the lamp did not bounce on my head strap. However, depending upon where you place the lamp on your head, for example on your forehead or further back the lamp may pivot. This happened a couple of times when I had it on my forehead, but when I placed it back more on my head it wouldn't happen. Hope this helps

I recommend the Energizer Micro Sport for running: Energizer Micro Sport LED Headlamp, BlueThe Micro Sport has a flat profile that prevents excessive bouncing and also comes with a rear "see me" red flasher so you can avoid getting hit by cars, bikers, and whatnot. Enjoy!

The arm is movable But the lamp is not flexible. Move the arm straight upward and the light will shine up.

The headstrap is adjustable and should easily fit on the helmet! The red light is constant which I enjoy when I'm reading at night next to someone who is sleeping! Hope this helps!

I think the lamp is weighted well. When I extend the arm out fully with the second (upper) pole on the same side of the main (bottom) pole as the head of the lamp, it does lean slightly, but it's still secure. To prevent the slight lean, I use the lamp with the second (upper) pole on the opposite side of the main (bottom pole) from the head of the lamp - this is how it's shown in the listing image here on Amazon. Hope that makes sense.

Personally I think it is too squishy for running in place. I've tried jump roping and jumping jacks with it and I feel like it makes me too unstable so I use a thinner mat for stuff like that. Hope that helps :)

Depends on how close the lamp is to your body. The adjustable "neck" allows you to easily position the bulb for comfort & safety.

My experience with using these caps to navigate in the pitch black of far-away lands w/ no light/electricity available is- two lights have been plenty. As far as for jogging, the brim lights which shine fwd seem to be designed to correspond w/ wherever one is looking w/ their eyes/tilting their head. I've never tried the 4 light caps, but have figured for my purposes there a bit of an over-do.

Yes. You can hardly notice it. Would be fine for running at night while sleeping.

I have this lamp on my bookshelf and I have had any problems with it being unstable when I swing the arm out. I do wished I would got the floor lamp though as it does not put out much light to read my books as I wanted.

Yes I use it as a reading lamp and have had no problem at all with it supporting the head it is not very heavy holds it's shape well.

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.

You could stretch it over a baseball cap, but it might be too slippery on top of a hardhat or helmet. Anything that fits close to the head, cap, knit hat, etc. would work, but anything big and shiny, helmet, hardhat, even a bike helmet might be tricky. As for under, again, anything flexible should work, but the battery pack is pretty big and would be tough to fit under some hats. The big battery gives you a bunch of run time and a VERY bright beam though, so don't let that put you off. I love this light!

I use the lamp on my table where I wheel up in my power chair to do bills, read, and I can move the light in almost any direction. Except New Jersey. There wasn't much light there the last time I passed through. The support to the light panel is flexible, bendable, and, thus far, reliable. I've been pleased with the lamp. www.questawards.net

No, it is very light (no pun intended)! I like it, though I don't need all the light settings, especially the probe light. Who would use that? The ONLY complaint I would have though is a catch 22. I like that you can rotate the light down at different angles and I usually have it tilted one notch but when you look up toward the ceiling the weight of the light pops it back flush with your head, so I would say if there is a lot of movement while wearing it, you won't use the tilt feature.

The base is large enough to be clamped down to a desk. The arm of the lamp is screwed into the base. The power is wired into the base and the on/off switch is on the side of the base. The base is approximately 5" in diameter. the lamp arm is fixed and will not rotate. The available movement is up/down, forward/back and the lamp head will move side to side. I hope this helps.

Yes you can tilt the headlamp up and down. It hold very good. It is through snap action. I move up and down side to side and lamp stays put
