Petzl Core Rechargeable Battery

Product Information

In terms of features, there are most options incorporated including a spotlight lens, wide flood angle beam and a red light mode to preserve night vision. All modes are dimmable when required and can provide up to 40 hours continuous operation on ‘low’. For full 330 lumen power, expect around 3.5 hours. The brightness of your headlamp is extremely important to note. This determines whether or not it is ideal for your needs. The brightness levels can simply be measured through the lumens. Lumens are a unit that simply tells you how much visible light a bulb can produce per unit of time. Electronics (lights and wiring) are integrated into the thin and strong fabric for a lightweight finish 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) You want to be extra careful with battery-powered lights. This is because low temperatures may also affect battery performance. So, if you intend on using them in cold climates, opt for weatherproof options.

Headlamps come in a choice of three power sources. You can opt for rechargeable, battery-powered, or wind up headlamps. Rechargeable batteries are fitted with permanent battery units that come with a USB cable. Using the USB cable, you can charge it on a wall outlet, solar charger, devices such as a laptop, and a power bank. Most lamps have a standard low, mid, and high mode. The low mode is used for regular tasks such as in-camp chores or walking in familiar trails. The mid-mode works for moderate activities whilst high mode works for more demanding activities such as alpine hiking. The high mode also comes in handy when you need maximum light output.As a general rule, lower lumens of around 10 to 60 lumens best serve close-up tasks. The lumen range is ideal for activities such as pitching your tent and reading. Mid-range brightness levels of about 100 to 150 lumens best serve moderate activities such as local trail runs. Petzl's Core Rechargeable Battery is an excellent concept as is allows you to reap the benefits of an efficient rechargeable battery while being able to swap between this or normal batteries in your Petzl head torch. It actually provides a better performance by maintaining a higher lumen beam for longer without any fading towards the end of the battery life. With a full recharge time of just 3 hours and USB port it is really practical and easy to use. A head torch (or headlamp) is essentially a mini light source (usually LED-based) attached to a headband which you can wear to help extend your outdoor activities through the night or in low light conditions. Not really. It depends on the body rating. Some headlights are water-resistant whilst others are waterproof. Water-resistant lights withstand light rain and splashes. Waterproof lights offer full watertight protection. Some models can even withstand submersion to a meter deep of water for up to 30 minutes. 2. Do I Need a Waterproof Head Torch?

Three white lighting levels: MAX BURN TIME, STANDARD (better power/burn time balance), and MAX POWER HYBRID CONCEPT design: TIKKA® 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 You can choose between three light settings including low, high, and red flashing, but in all reality you will be using it constantly in high mode.These types of lamps are perfect for outdoor activities such as camping. Multi LED array lights are perfect for utility use such as hunting. This is because these types of LED lights have several colour spectrums. Alternatively, you can opt for CREE head torches. Compared to traditional LEDs, CREE LEDS are about six times brighter. By using a combination of a headband and an ‘over-the-top’ strap with adjustable cinches, we found that the Regatta will fit different head sizes and shapes in a secure manner. The torch part itself can also be rotated up or down to optimize the angle of lighting you require. Single LED torches are bright and come in a choice of high or low powered options. Most of these types of torches integrate a magnifying lens at the front to enhance light output. So, even a small single LED light will emit good quality light for quite some time. The Regatta Head Torch is by far the cheapest of our recommendations but offers a fully adjustable design for less than a fiver– what’s not to like?
