Torch With Sensor Control

Bought these for running and evening walks in winter with my dog. Have in the past paid far more for big brand head torches (namely Black Diamond which was great) but my last one finally died a few years ago and I couldn’t afford a replacement at the time so bought a cheap one from a shop that sells screws and fixings. This wasn’t very satisfactory and needed replacing within a couple of months after it died. The shop of screws and fixings replaced it without any issue, however the replacement one’s switch started playing up after a couple of months but I couldn’t be bothered to go back again and have been putting up with it. Saw this twin pack had good reviews and thought I’d give it a go. Glad I did - the pack of two wasn’t much more expensive than the cheap one they replaced. They are great so far (had them about a month at time of writing ). More features than the other one. These have two buttons. The right one (as you’re wearing it) cycles between the different modes - spot, flood, spot & flood, constant red, flashing red, off. In spot, flood or spot & flood mode, pressing and holding the right button dims it gradually to minimum flashes to indicate it’s reached the lowest brightness and then gradually brightens it until it flashes again to indicate maximum brightness and then cycles back to dimming - take your finger off whenever it’s the right brightness for you. The red modes can’t be dimmed as far as I can see. Another nice feature is that pressing the button repeatedly cycles through the modes, but once you’ve settled for a mode and used the lamp for a short while when you press the button again it just turns off, rather than having to keep pressing to go through every mode until you reach the “off” mode. The left button turns it into a hands free on/off mode. Waving your hand across and close to the lamp turns it on and off without having to actually press the button. The angle can be adjusted from straight ahead and downwards towards the ground, so it’s possible to light your path well, without dazzling oncoming traffic and pedestrians. The adjustable elastic head band looks as though it could be replaced fairly easily which might be necessary if you were to use it for night time running, since sweat seems to make elastic weaken fairly quickly in my experience. On this subject it’s worth noting that they are a single, front facing unit without any rear facing red light - some premium lights have a rear facing led as well. That said, I can see no reason why you couldn’t pop two of them on one headband - showing red to the rear and white at the front, although this might be a bit cumbersome. Personally I have a chest mounted light with a built in rear bank of red LEDs which I can use in conjunction with a head torch. All in all, a decent build quality and feel, plenty of features and also nice and bright. Very pleased! Haven’t tested runtime as I’ll only use them for short periods up to 30 mins.

Brilliant head torch — extremely bright and very useful for night trekking. The battery life is excellent and lasts a long time. The sensor can be a little sensitive and may switch the light off if something passes in front of it, but I personally find this useful for conserving battery when the light isn’t needed. Excellent value for money and highly recommended.

Surprisingly bright for the price. The option of flood light or sharp beam is useful when working. The tight beam mode easily shows up things 50m away outside and the flood will light up a large room. The battery probably won't last as long as an expensive Petzl so don't use one to climb your next mountain but for a cheap work light or emergency light to keep in the car these fit the bill. The red flashing mode is a bit pointless (any flashing mode is pointless unless it flashes SOS in white) and the proximity mode whereby you can turn it off and on by waving your hand in front of it is questionable - and uses up power by using the sensor all the time. However the option of gradually reducing or increasing the brightness by holding down the button is really good. The wide strap is comfortable and doesn't need to be too tight to hold well (unlike Petzls). Can't go wrong for £7 each.

Fab head torches. Super bright, easy to charge. Easy to adjust head strap. Good features. Only downside, there is no padding on the back and can get quite uncomfortable on your forehead.

Superb head torch that is packed with features. Excellent lightweight camping and hiking headlamp. Particularly like the dimming control for reading. Broad beam and focussed beam modes are usefull for camping and searching applications, respectively. Holds charge for a long time.

Nice torches, useful for anyone wanting to keep there hands free. Would also be useful for anyone out on the road as a safety light for cyclist or horses riders in poor lighting. The red strobe setting would be great as a rear light, warning other road users of your presence. The white light is bright enough for most jobs and can be a spot light or flood light. The unit is a good size, not heavey, and very comfortable to wear. Recharging is easy and fairly quick. The unit seem to be at least shower proof, I haven't tried during a sustained downpour.

This is an excellent head torch. Very bright and not reliant on expensive batteries. The build quality is good and not all cheap. I bought a pair as it was far cheaper than buying individually. It is powered by usb-c so I can use my phone charger to top it up. I don’t know how long it will last. Will review again after a couple of years

Good sturdy head torch, lasts well even on full power. Lightweight and easy to adjust, comfortable to wear and doesn't slip down. I've used it a few times now while walking my dogs and it gives a good strong light over a considerable distance. Would heartily recommend.

Markanın diğer modellerine göre en çok özelliğe sahip olan ürünü bu. Sensör ile elinizi önünden geçip açıp kapatmak mümkün. Bu özellik bir şeye yakın çalışmanız durumu için uygun değil. Modlar arasında geçiş tuşuna basılı tuttuğunuzda ışık şiddetini değiştirmek mümkün. Uzun kullanımda ışık performansı düşmüyor bu da en büyük artısı olabilir.

Decisamente sopra le aspettative, piccole, leggere, comode e...potentissime! Passeggiata in notturna di circa 4 ore e non hanno dato segni di cedimento (con una carica completa). Anche il sensore di movimento, oltre ad essere molto comodo, funziona proprio bene! Vedremo alla lunga come si comporteranno, ma se questa è la premessa, non temo brutte sorprese! Per quello che costano, consiglio decisamente l'acquisto (rapporto qualità prezzo sbalorditivo!)

Znakomity sprzęt. Idealna do prac warsztatowych, do których ją wybrałem. Bateria trzyma długo, można zmieniać kąt padania światła a samo światło jest wystarczająco intensywne. Żałuję, że tak późno kupilem.

Two head lamps for such a low price! They work well. They are comfortable to wear. They are very bright. You can select a very bright narrow beam, or a less bright wide beam. I think that both beams can be dimmed. They don't use batteries, but recharge on a USB plug. I haven't used them much. If my opinion changes, I will revise this review.

Lekker lampje. :)
