My husband has been working for almost two years on making the ultimate headlamp. It is called Bosavi and he is launching it on right on Kickstarter. It is super small, super bright, super light, and super smart.


And check out the video to see how the packaging converts into a lantern:

Looks like a cool product and a worthy labor of love. Obviously a bright mind behind it. Some feedback on the kickstarter site:

-No mention of how long the light will last on a full charge? This is the most important stat on a headlamp, imo.

-The header "Is it true that there other rechargeable headlamps on the market now?" Looks like you accidentally a verb.

-Estimated retail cost?

Positive vibes to you and your man. It really does look like a great product, just need more info!

The FAQ at the bottom of the kickstarter page looks to have some more details the might be of interest to you... 70 hours on the low setting and 3 hours on the full 110 Lumen setting.

MSRP was stuck in one of the pledging levels as $79.99.

Looks like a super cool project. Good luck!

I just pledged. Beyond helping out a fellow climber it's a pretty good deal on a headlamp too.

It's always inspiring to me when someone sticks their neck out for a personal project they believe in. Too many of us have great ideas that are never executed. Kudos to Kickstarter as well for helping people make their goals become reality.

Christina - why didn't you just bump the other thread you started on this topic? Multiple threads = spamacious behavior.
