Petzl Core Rechargeable Battery

Product Information

We charged up each head torch fully then switched them onto their brightest settings to time how long they lasted before they either ran out of battery entirely, or had significantly reduced brightness. 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. A panel of five testers of mixed ages and genders rated each head torch for how easy they found it to navigate through the controls and settings while bare-handed and wearing gloves. The best head torches are must-haves in situations where a hands-free extra beam of light will keep you comfortable, safe and free from difficulty. The battery run time is 20 hours of continuous use, and in short bursts of a few hours per day, it will last many days.

As with most technology, you often get what you pay for – however with LED head torches, this was shown to not always be the case.Take into account how big an area you're looking to illuminate, as well as how brightly that area should be lit. Its split construction gives you excellent stability during dynamic and intense activities such as mountaineering, trail running, and skiing. The hitch with the standard settings is that this drops full beam to a mere 550 lumens, presumably as the full 900 lumens will melt through steel like a superman eye laser - and the battery - if left constantly on for the entire 2 hour burn time. We liked the reactive setting, which does indeed conserve battery power, but it's easy to see how it could be annoying for some applications.

When choosing the best head torch, you must look at the key features to ensure you find the right model. For close-up activities, such as night-time reading or checking your tent for leaks, you may need less than 100 lumens. These head lighting tools use light-emitting diodes to illuminate light and are favoured for their lightweight build. However it we cannot truthfully say that the most expensive head torch was 20x better than the cheapest.e. it is not rechargeable), this is not always the end of the world, especially on short trips away. This little headtorch knocks out a genuinely bewildering 900 lumens when set to full beam, which brings with it an industrial LED risk rating of 2 out of a possible 4 – looking directly at the full beam is very much not recommended. Just above the reactive sensor, a sweep of five green LEDs indicate the charge remaining in 20% increments, and mounted to the top right is the single control button. Mid-range brightness levels of about 100 to 150 lumens best serve moderate activities such as local trail runs.
