does this have a tilt function? as in tilt it up or down and it stays that way or do you have to look down with your head for the light to point down?

Yes, it does have a tilt function; the light will aim straight out or it will swivel down in its frame by about ~45deg. It will stay at whatever angle you put it at within these bounds.

Mine does tilt but it was VERY stiff to change angle. Just tried it again and was able to adjust but still very stiff

Yes. You can rotate the light up and down- so it points farther in the distance or closer to your feet. It stays where you point it very wellReese is incorrect.

Yes, the light housing indeed tilts up/down. Note that it can be mounted atop the battery compartment, or mounted separately (using the provided ground stake), and has adjustable tilt in either case.

Yes it does tilt. No, it doesn't swivel. To tilt: grasp the screen firmly with left hand on left side , right on right side... then tilt. Great screen for the money. Google for calibrations settings and the colors will pop. Lower brightness!

Yes you can adjust it to point down. I have mine adjusted to point a little downward.

This is a very lightweight lamp. I agree with the poster that says you can move it downward to some degree without the base moving. However, when you tilt the lamp back up the base will move. In that case it would need to be stabilized by holding it down with your other hand. Nice lamp, but it does not have a heavy base.

"Oh My Goodness " Yes , the arm attached to the base will tilt to a horizontal position , but the light bar will not completely straighten . The base arm will also rotate , but the light bar will not tilt side to side , its movement is up or down . I have given this light 5 Stars . Comes in Jet Black or White . Very well made and would recommend :) by JAFO

Turn it on pointing at the sky. As you change the angle and start to point towards the ground, it dims slowly. The idea is if walking and pointing to the distance it is brighter so you see farther, as you point closer to the ground you don't need as much light because the ground is close. Saves on batteries. If you turn it on pointing at the ground, then tilt up or down it remains at constant light output.

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.

It cannot be pointed at a significantly downward angle. It does tilt *slightly* down, perhaps ten degrees at an estimate, but it's a very subtle tilt. It can tilt at an upward angle far more significantly.

No, it does not tilt. Once you tighten it down that's the position it will remain in.

No it doesn't have a tilt mechanism. I had to move it around depending on the position of the sun.

I think I know what you mean. I've had the light move up on me. What I do is point it all the way down then pull back up to where I want it. It more or less stays in place after that barring any severe bumps.

Hi JOhn, Yes, it has a tilt. Just push the center top edge of the monitor gently forward or backward and it will tilt according to your desired angle.

That wheel is supposed to help you align the light up or down. If you wait until night time and pull up to a wall, you should see the light point up or down as you adjust the wheel.

Yes, it swivels up and down, maybe not a full 180, but definitely close. I actually really like this lamp. It puts out a lot of light.
