I bought this as an early gift for my Step-dad to wear as he put up and maintained our Christmas lights last year. He was constantly going out each night and watching the lights show to make sure everything was working properly so I figured why not make him part of the show? He seems to like it and wore it every night. The leds in the hat are bright and the battery lasted through the end of the holiday season. The hat overall is really cute even when it isn't lit. It was easy to turn on and off with a little button in the bill of the hat most people wouldn't even realize that it lights up until you turn it which you can do without even taking it off.
