Q. Can I really return the headset for a firmware upgrade?
A. Yes. The power settings are controlled by an ATtiny chip. This can be reprogrammed to give different settings or remove the battery test function. You can return your headset for custom settings like a very low 10lm glow or just a high and low mode. If the LEDs are upgraded the firmware can be adjusted  to give the same light output and longer run times.
