Overview

A hiker or camper who wants a low-profile light gets a one-button headlamp here, held by an adjustable headband. It runs on AAA cells and offers full strength, dimming and strobe settings.

The compact build and brightness memory make for easy use on a trail or at a campsite, and the rechargeable option adds flexibility. The listing leaves out beam distance, runtime and a water rating.

Who it's for

A casual hiker, runner or camper who wants an everyday headlamp on easy to replace batteries will find the controls simple. Buyers who need published runtime or waterproof details should look at another listing.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Rechargeable pack compatible
Cons
  • Beam distance not listed
  • Rechargeable pack sold separately
  • Runtime figures missing

Performance notes

Output depends on the mode chosen and on how fresh the batteries are, with dimming used to stretch the cells. A one-button interface cycles through the modes, and brightness memory returns the lamp to the last setting. Adding the rechargeable pack changes the power source rather than the light itself.
