The product hit the shelves way back in 1981 and the headlamp has evolved since with various improvements made to the design by the many companies that manufacture headlamps today.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"head<\/a>Not every head-lamp is suited for every activity; it is best to prioritize the features on the basis of the activity you are involved in. For instance, a backpacker needs to consider the weight and battery life, but a cyclist needs the beam distance. Here’s a list of key features that will help you to choose the ideal head-torch for yourself. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Key Features:<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Beam Distance:<\/b><\/span><\/span>\u00a0The amount\u00a0of distance you need the headlamp to\u00a0cover depends on the activity you’re engaged in. A head-torch is usually, purchased on the basis of how far (distance in meters) it can project usable light. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Battery Life: <\/b>Most\u00a0<\/b>h<\/span><\/span>ead-torches come with standard batteries. A hiker requires a longer battery life as compared to a cyclist or runner. Therefore, for travellers\u00a0it is recommended that they\u00a0take an extra pair of batteries on a long trip. Consider rechargeable batteries if\u00a0charging is an option on your travels. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Lumens:<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span> Lumens output, the measure of the brightness of the light is an important feature as the light output is directly proportional to the number of Lumens.\u00a0Ranging from 15 to 500+ lumens, the choice varies according to the usage.

High<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>: Select high mode when there is absolutely no natural light. Keep in mind that\u00a0this setting requires more battery power. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Middle<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>: The middle level of brightness is apt when the natural light is available. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Low<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>: Select low mode for dusk or dawn, or when walking around an easy trail at night. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Strobe<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>: Choose strobe mode for an emergency situation. This can be used as a distress signal when you go solo. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
