Overview

Switching between a far reaching white beam, a red light and a soft reading light, this metal headlamp covers trail, camp and close work. It charges through a sealed USB-C port.

Three light types and a tough aluminum body make it a do everything lamp for outdoor and industrial use. Weight on the head and whether the battery can be swapped are not stated.

Who it's for

Hunters, backpackers and workers who need distance, red light and close up light suit it. Trail runners who count grams should check the weight first.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Very bright main beam
  • Red and reading lights
  • Waterproof and impact resistant
  • Power status indicator
Cons
  • Weight not listed
  • Battery type unstated
  • Maximum runtime is at low output

Performance notes

Runtime trades off with brightness, so the longest figure comes from low modes and the top output runs far shorter. A separate reading light gives wide, soft light without the main beam's glare. Aluminum spreads heat at high output.
