Sofirn has 20% auto applied coupon on this item. Full price is $35.99.

From this previous post (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/919092) I understand $27.99 was the ATL, and I needed a headlamp for kid's upcoming camp so $28.79 decent enough for me in the circumstances.

The H05B is also on 20% coupon but went with the H35R due to the ability to go straight to red.

  Amazon description:
  Batteries: 1 AA batteries required (included).

  Fail.

    When I read it it said: "USB-C Rechargeable & power indicator：The H35R features a hidden USB port for effortless and sustainable charging. With its long-lasting performance and smart charging indicators (red for charging, green for full), it ensures you’re always prepared for your next adventure."

      Scroll down to Product information -> expand Features & Specs, you can see "Number of batteries: 1 AA batteries required (included)."
      People didn't read the description and just simply negged me.

        I didn't neg you but was definitely confused - I see what you mean now though. We'll see what actually shows up when it comes.

          @keeperofthegood: I know this uses 18650 lithium battery. I was just showing the wrong info posted on the Amazon page. No way it only runs on one AA battery and able to produce 1500 lumen light XD

    Mines coming on 1 October apparently after ordering today? Must have got a few orders since then.

  On a random note, I have the Sofirn H05B and couldn't recommend it more.

  I've strapped it to my hat and have forgotten about it, so when I take my hat off, the torch has fallen from around 1.7m height on a concrete floor. This has happened more than 6x and it still works no issues.

    Easy to use? Some reviews say this is easier

  Thanks OP. Got the H05B instead (20% + additional 5% coupon). Ready to blind unsuspecting fellow campgoers!

  Come on, discount the HS21 also.

  H05B vs H35R
  Strengths & Weaknesses (in practice)

  H05B Strengths:

  Very lightweight, good for long wear or minimal weight burden

  Strong flood / wide beam, good for close/ambient illumination

  Better water spray resistance (IP66)

  At its price point, lots of features (red modes, strobe, etc.)

  H05B Weaknesses:

  The highest modes may heat up or step down after a time

  The UI (many mode transitions) can be a little confusing at first

  Runtime in turbo / max mode is likely limited

  Beam throw is not as long as some compete lights

  H35R Strengths:

  Better throw (112 m) — more useful for distance lighting

  More powerful white output (1,500 lm) gives better brightness headroom

  Good red / night vision mode included

  Balanced between flood and throw

  Solid build with multiple emitters

  H35R Weaknesses:

  Slightly heavier

  Waterproofing is slightly weaker (IPX6 vs IP66)

  More complexity in managing multiple emitters and modes

  At high output, heat and step-downs may kick in

    Ty, I think a benefit of the H35R is also the simplicity of the UI. According to instructions it is:
    Press on for white, then hold for strength steps
    Long press on for red, then hold for strength steps
    With memory function as well
