A bright, focusable work and trail headlamp that charges by USB-C and also runs on AAA cells in a pinch. It is heavier than a pocket lamp, which long runs on the head will reveal.

Overview
Mechanics, builders and night hikers get a headlamp whose focusing ring slides from a wide flood to a tight spot. A rotary switch picks white or red output, and a wave of the hand turns it on or off through gesture sensing.
Dual power is the strong suit: charge it at home and carry AAA cells as backup far from an outlet. The aluminum body adds weight, so ultralight hikers may find it a lot to wear for hours.
Who it's for
Work sites, vehicle repair and rough trail travel where throw and a hands-free switch matter. Light-and-fast hikers will want something smaller.
Pros and cons
- Focus ring from flood to spot
- Runs on rechargeable or AAA
- Gesture sensing for hands-free use
- Red modes including a flash
- Heavy for a headlamp
- High output drains fast
- Waterproof level not stated as an IP figure
Performance notes
Throw depends on the focus ring: a tight spot reaches far, while flood spreads the same output for close work. Runtime falls sharply at the top level and stretches only on the lowest settings.
