Close work
The COB flood spreads an even light over what is right in front of you, so the whole job is lit, not one bright spot.

Glasses Light with COB Flood and XTE Spotlight
A headlamp shaped like glasses: a wide COB flood, an XTE spot for distance, nine modes and a wave sensor that works in all of them. Read this first: there is no lens in it. It is a light, not eye protection.

Wave sensor
Set the mode once. Then just wave.
Press the sensor button and it lights blue. From then on, a wave of your hand close to the right arm, beside your temple, switches the light on or off in the mode you already picked. Press the button again and the sensor is off.
Works in all nine modes
Pick any COB or XTE level, or the strobe, with the mode button. The wave switches the mode you picked, not a fixed one.
On only when you arm it
The sensor button arms and disarms the sensor. Leave it off when you don't want the light to switch by accident, and arm it again when your hands are full.
Close range, near the buttons
Wave close to the right arm, beside your temple, where the sensor sits under the two buttons. It reads a hand at close range, not a gesture from across a room.
The maker publishes no range for the sensor. "Close range" is our description, not a measured figure.

Where it helps
Wherever both hands are busy
A wide flood for what is in front of you, a narrow spot for what is further off, and both hands left for the job.
Getting around in the dark
On stairs, in a basement or across a site at night, the wide beam lights the space around you, not just a circle ahead.
Work, night fishing, the trail
The maker shows it on the job, by the water at night and out hiking. It lights the work, but nothing covers your eyes: where chips or sparks fly, the job needs rated eye protection, and this light is not that.
On the way home
Switch to the XTE spot to see further down the road. It lights your way, but it is not a be-seen bike light, so keep proper front and rear lights on the bike.
How it works
Charge it. Put it on. Press or wave.
-
Charge it
Plug in the USB-C cable from the box. A full charge takes up to 5 hours, and four blue LEDs show how much is in it, one per quarter.
-
Put it on
It sits on your face like a pair of glasses, one size. If you are moving around, add the elastic strap. It detaches when you don't need it.
-
Press or wave
Press the mode button to step through the nine modes. Press the sensor button to arm the sensor, then wave a hand close to the right arm to switch the light on and off. To switch off with the button, stay in a mode for 5–8 seconds and press once more.
Two buttons and a wave are all there is to learn. It charges from the USB ports you already have.
Compared with the usual options
Glasses light, headlamp or flashlight?
Three ways to carry a light. Here is where this one is different, including where it is not the best choice.
| Feature | Nexura glasses light | Headband headlamp | Handheld flashlight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hands free | |||
| Where the light sits | At eye level, like glasses | On a band around your head | In your hand |
| Wave on and off, in any mode | Some models | ||
| Wide flood and narrow spot in one light | Some models | Some models | |
| Charges over USB-C | Some models | Some models | |
| Battery you can swap | Some models | Some models |
Compared by type of light, not by brand. "Some models" means it depends on the one you buy.
