This modern headlamp is designed for a person who is seeking
reliability, durability and a variety of light sources. Even better, the headlamp comes with a
rechargeable lithium battery that is very convenient and ultimately reduces the
impact on the environment by eliminating the use of disposable batteries.
The lighting features include white and red light
modes. There are three white
lighting modes: maximum, economic and strobe. The red light modes are: maximum and stobe. The maximum white light is excessively
bright and it is my go-to mode for alpine starts that require attentive
navigation. The economic mode is a great way to save battery life when maximum
brightness is not required. The
red light mode offers a mild light that doesn’t cause the pupils in the eye to
constrict maximizing night vision.
The stobe lighting modes are perfect for a spontaneous dance party (in
my case) or more seriously they are intended for a rescue scenario.
The CORE lithium ion polymer battery is user friendly and
can recharge up to 300 times. It
takes about 3 hours to recharge.
It comes with a small USB cord and wall charger and works with most cell
phone chargers, computers and car charges. The headlamp also accepts standard
AAA batteries if you want back up batteries for an extended back country
expedition. For me this feature
has been especially useful when traveling abroad as I don’t have to worry about
packing batteries and know that I can easily recharge my battery with my laptop
(which almost always comes with me overseas).
Other great features include:
·
- Water resistant and works great in the cold
- OS Petzl Software allows customization of lighting modes to optimize lighting intensity vs. battery life for maximum personalization
- Adjustable and comfortable elastic strap fits greats on a bare head or headlamp and includes a mini emergency whistle
- Low battery light indicator
- Weighs just 2.9 oz with CORE battery
- 3 year guarantee
I have been using this headlamp for over a year now and it
is my go-to headlamp for basically every outdoor activity due to its
reliability and lighting options.
The rechargeable battery is super convenient and a great way to minimize
waste. I highly recommend this
product for anyone looking to upgrade their headlamp!
