PETZL Unisex -Adult's Stirnlampe Actik Core Schwarz Lamp, Black, Onesize

Product Information

Compatible with the HELMET ADAPT and BIKE ADAPT 2 mounts, so you can fix the lamp on a variety of helmet types or a bicycle (1) The direction of the beam can be manually adjusted for either close-up focused work or as a flood straight ahead of you. Petzl ACTIK CORE: Performance If you're looking for a more traditional headlamp design and you require a red light as well as a white light, then the Nitecore NU31 headlamp is the brightest option. It offers 550 lumens on Turbo mode whilst still maintaining a five-hour runtime thanks to its 1,800 mAh rechargeable battery. What makes a good headlamp? Durable, comfortable, and versatile, the Petzl Actik Core is a fantastic headlamp for use in just about any activity. We appreciate its bright lamp and rechargeable batteries, which should be standard on just about every high-end headlamp these days. This model features Petzl’s trademark reliability and great build-quality too, making it easy to recommend to anyone shopping for a new light source for use in the outdoors.

The Olight Perun 2 is a true multi-tasker and is likely to appeal to people who want to use it for camping, late-night dog walking, fishing or carrying lots of kit around in the dark. But for those looking for a lightweight headlamp with a red light function, this may not be the one for you.

Like the previous version, the Actik Core features dual beam in the medium and highest settings, combining a proximate and spot beam for a nice and complete range of light. The single button operation is simple and intuitive, with the button being large and positive enough in response that I never make a mistake and is easy to operate with gloves on. Vont Spark Headlamp: If you only need to use a headlamp very occasionally or just want one or two spares lying around in case of power cuts, these will fit the bill. In a festival environment, we used the max brightness mode to find our way across the field to the portaloos and the standard beam to do the camp cooking. We used the dimmest mode to sort out our messy tent after dusk, and the red light while chatting and socializing. It's perfect for all scenarios, except one. The Petzl Actik Core has a water resistance rating of IP X4. This means it is acceptable for light rain but should you find yourself out in a storm with lots of driving rain, you'd probably want to put it away, and it definitely isn't submersible. Petzl ACTIK CORE 450: Functionality Compatible with the HELMET ADAPT and BIKE ADAPT 2 mounts, so you can attach the lamp to a variety of helmet types or a bicycle (1) The dual mode projects a broad, bright and distant beam, again, very impressive for a smaller lamp.

The torch has three main settings 7 lumens, perfect for finding something in your tent, 100 lumens for running and such at dusk, and 600 which is perfect for any night time activities in the full dark. It also has a red light setting for when you don’t want to disturb your camping buddy Olight Perun 2: A robust and versatile flashlight that can be used in a multitude of situations thanks to it's three mounting options including occasionally being worn as a headlamp. To guarantee you're getting honest, up-to-date recommendations on the best headlamps to buy here at Space.com we make sure to put every headlamp through a rigorous review to fully test each device. Each headlamp is reviewed based on a multitude of aspects, from its construction and design to how well it functions and its performance in the field. A lightweight and powerful, rechargeable headlamp, with 3 light settings, and an impressive 600 lumens of power in a torch that weighs less than 100 grams. Petzl says:The BioLite HeadLamp 330 is ideal if you want to save a bit of cash and don't need as many lumens as the other BioLite models that sit in this guide offer. It is so tiny you'll soon forget you have it on. It has a 'no bounce' design that rests flat against the forehead which is mostly useful for runners, but it also means that it won't get in the way of you looking through a scope or viewfinder. A particularly good feature of this headlamp for stargazers is the fact that you can turn the red light on with a long press of the button without having to cycle through any of the white light settings first. This practically eliminates the risk of ruining your night vision when you're using it to adjust your equipment. We found the button to be responsive even when using gloves, so it's perfect for a chilly night of stargazing or astrophotography.

But we also found the Olight Perun 2 a fantastic light for camping thanks to its clever design features. We loved how you can attach it to a tent pole via its magnetic base and even set a three or nine minute timer so that it will automatically turn off without you needing to leave your sleeping bag. What is the best budget headlamp? If you happen to come across it, this is actually the exact same lamp as the TACTIKKA Headlamp, but that model is usually found in more specialized fishing/hunting/military stores. There is also a more recent model, the Actik Core 600, which boasts 600 lumens, has a Phosphorescent reflector to help you find it in the dark and a pouch that you can use to make a lantern (for when you're in your tent). HYBRID CONCEPT design: ACTIK® comes with three AAA/LR03 batteries and is also compatible with the CORE rechargeable battery (not included); it automatically detects the energy source and adjusts lighting performance WARNING: This lamp is not certified for road use: when used in an area governed by traffic regulations, Petzl lights are not a substitute for required standardized lights.The average headlamp features a range of lighting modes, including spot, flood, colored, and strobe lights. The default setting for most lamps is their powerful LED spot beam, which focuses the light at a distance rather than casting it wide around you (the max distance these can reach is listed in the "max beam" section of our comparison table). While not necessary in all circumstances, a long-distance beam can be helpful for looking far down a trail, trying to spot an anchor while rappelling, or even for extreme uses like caving. A proximity beam illuminates the area right in front of you For minimalists and true ounce-counters, our favorite ultralight headlamp of 2023 is the Nitecore NU25 400 UL. At just 1.6 ounces, the Nitecore secures via a streamlined elastic headband, is surprisingly bright with a 400-lumen max output, and is rechargeable via micro USB. We’ve also found it incredibly easy to operate (cryptic toggling between modes is a common issue with headlamps), with one button for the white beam and one for red, and the battery seemingly lasts forever. All told, as a high-powered emergency light or for those trying to keep their load as light as possible, the NU25 UL is a bright and relatively cheap option.

The phosphorescent reflector is handy for locating your headlamp in the dark. I found it most useful when camping, where I could easily spot my lamp in the tent when nature called in the middle of the night.

BioLite Headlamp 330: An affordable lightweight headlamp from an admirable company that's easy to operate and comfortable to wear. The headtorch comes with Petzel’s rechargeable Core battery which charges with a micro-USB, so you can charge the torch almost anywhere. This is the headtorch I take away if I'm on a multi-day hike as being able to charge on the go gives me the confidence, that I'm not suddenly running out of charge and potentially finding myself in a dangerous situation. The headtorch also can be powered with three AAA batteries
