Whether you are setting up your tent at night, climbing up the wall at dusk, or just looking for something in your attic, nothing beats the hands-free lighting convenience provided by a headlamp. Headlamps now almost exclusively use LEDs as their light source. LEDs are rugged, energy-efficient and long-lasting. So what to watch out for when buying a headlamp?
The type of beam...
..can be flood/wide or spot/focused. Depending on what you are doing you'll need one or the other. A lot of headlamps allow to switch between both types.
Lumen....
...usually the higher the lumen value the brighter the light.
Beam distance...
...the type of beam and lumen are a good indication of the ability to brighten the dark but beam distance is also crucial if for example your riding your bike at night.
Run time...
...is obviously important. You want to use it as long as possible without charging.
Headlamp weight...
... the lighter the less you have to carry.
And so forth...
There are so many criteria to a headlamp it really depends on what you have planned. The easiest thing to do is come down to the shop or give us a call so we can have a chat about your needs.
