About this deal

Most headlamps come with dimming or red light modes. These are ideal for situations where you want to minimize the disturbance to others while maintaining visibility. Use a red light when reading in a shared tent or camping area. Signal your presence The Nitecore NU 25 has an impressive 360 lumen maximum beam output–among the highest of the headlamps we tested. It has four brightness levels and three special modes (red caution, SOS, and beacon). It comes equipped with three lights: white, red, and high CRI that can throw light 81 m, similar to what other brands call "flood lighting." This max beam distance is better than the other recharagables we tested, including the 75 m of the BioLite 330. The red light mode helps preserve your night vision. This is why red light is used in photography dark rooms and on Navy submarines. It is also very considerate to use red light mode around your fellow campers, so you don’t blind them with a bright white headlamp light. All of our winners, except our budget winner the Petzl Tikinna has a red LED light. The new Spot 325 features a more compact design, updated user interface, and improved multi-faceted optical lens design that not only saves battery life but also provides a powerful 325 lumens of light, making it the perfect light for pre-work dawn patrols, after-dark trail runs and climbing days that don’t always fit into 9 to 5.

However, some headlamps are convertible using bike mounting accessories designed to attach your headlamp to a helmet or a bicycle.

At 800 lumens, it's the brightest headlamp among our winners. It's more than twice as bright as our overall winner, the BioLite 425.

Most of the headlamps we recommend offer focused and directional lighting, which is handy for illuminating specific areas or objects like your cook pot or where you think that mouse hiding under your tent may be. You can adjust the angle and intensity of the light to suit your needs, whether you're examining gear, reading, or navigating uneven terrain. Improved night vision The brightest flashlight we've found is well over 100,000 lumens. That is brighter than all of the headlamps on the market. So why would someone choose a headlamp over a flashlight? IPX8: Vedenpitävä 1.1 metriin 30 minuutiksi. Mikäli valaisin pääsee kastumaan, vettä voi mennä paristokoteloon, mutta valaisin toimii yhä. Valaisimen on annettava kuivua täysin, kun sitä on käytetty kosteissa oloissa.Headlamps are a hands-free way of lighting your way through the dark. Headlamps create enough light so that you can run, walk, read, or do camp chores. But they also need to stay put on your head and be comfortable while you’re in motion.

I used a Petzl Actik during my PCT thru-hike. I was pretty pleased about it, but I am considering trying another brand for a change. What makes this headlamp so great is how easily it crosses over from specialty climbing gear to fixture of everyday domestic life. It’s lightweight, easy to operate, and waterproof, and you can aim it (by tilting it up and down) at whatever you need to examine. Not all headlamps have a flood light option, but it’s a great function to have for proximity lighting. Best for around camp or in a tent, flood lights cast a wide beam and maximize the view right in front of you. Some headlamps will have two LEDs, one for spot lighting and one for flood lighting, while others (like the Coast FL75R) allow you to shape one single LED into a distance beam or an up-close flood. In their specs, most manufacturers will call out a lamp’s beam distance—for example, the BioLite HeadLamp 325 has an 10-meter flood and a 70-meter spot. The Petzl Actik Core features both a flood and spot beam I never considered buying a headlamp before I started working at Wirecutter—what am I, a salt miner? And now I own three.

For many headlamps there are also special rechargeable batteries from the manufacturer to use the lamps longer. However, normal rechargeable batteries can also be used. Above you can compare the ReVolt(left) versus the Storm(right). This is a quite relevant comparison since the Storm works great with NiMH rechargeable batteries. The difference is somewhat subtle, but the Storm on the right shines brighter and wider than the ReVolt, with much better battery life. Close Proximity The NiteCore NU 25 has an IP66 rating for dust and water resistance. The Nitecore NU 25 has a IPX6 water resistance rating, which means it is protected against high power jets of water. This means that it is generally good enough to use while hiking in the rain. However, it cannot be submerged.
