Overview

A headband holds the lamp head on the forehead while a rechargeable battery pack, charged over USB-C, supplies the power. The Pro Edition adds a second pack so a spare can travel with the light.

The second battery pack is the reason to choose this edition, since it suits long runs or trips away from a charger, and the red light and color temperature options add flexibility. The limit is a sparse listing with no runtime, beam distance, weight or water resistance.

Who it's for

Runners and campers who charge over USB-C and want a swappable second pack will use the edition as sold. Anyone who needs documented runtime or water resistance, or prefers standard replaceable cells, should read the maker's full specification first.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Output and runtime pull against each other: the higher the brightness setting, the faster a pack drains, and the listing gives no runtime figures to plan around. Color temperature options change how surfaces look at close range, and red light helps preserve night vision around camp. The diffusing stuff sack can soften the beam for tent use.
