HM1

Before my recent trip to Snowdonia, I realized I had lost my Petzl head torch the day before. I spent some time searching for a new one on Amazon and found several models at affordable prices. After considering my options, I chose a 440-lumens model that seemed to offer good value for money. Here are the reasons why I picked this particular head torch: 1. Power: The 440 lumens output and 5 different modes make it suitable for various activities, such as trail running at night and illuminating a tent. 2. Battery and charging: The head torch has an 1800 mAh battery that can be charged via USB type C. After using it actively for 4 days, I did not need to recharge it. Interestingly, most of the cheaper models either offered outdated mini USB for charging or regular AAA batteries. 3. Lightweight: Despite the decent battery capacity, the head torch is lightweight and strikes a good balance between performance and autonomy. It's suitable for multi-day hikes and leisurely walks. You could probably find torches that are 10-20 grams lighter, but they would either be less powerful, have a worse battery, or be unjustifiably expensive. 4. Waterproof: The head torch performed well in light rain. 5. Comfortable strap: The adjustable strap does not exert uncomfortable pressure on the head during use. 6. Additional features: There is an on/off sensor, although I did not find much use for it. However, it lacks a red light, which I sometimes use when camping at night. Despite this drawback, the head torch offers good quality at a reasonable price. Overall, I consider this to be a very decent torch that performs well in most scenarios. Considering its quality and affordability, I would choose this head torch again without hesitation over both premium and cheaper alternatives.

I got this Klarus HM5 rechargeable head torch for my husband’s winter runs and it’s amazing. It has multiple settings, it’s really easy to use, and the brightness is unreal. I’m pretty sure the International Space Station could spot him from space when it’s on full beam! It feels sturdy, reliable, and the rechargeable battery is a big plus too. Perfect for dark evenings, whether you’re running, walking, or just trying not to trip over the bins.

I like that the light is nice and compact , it's bright enough. I am a vehicle mechanic and use head torches all day, I found it will only last a couple of hours on medium, this must be a tradeoff for the small size. It charges via micro USB, not usb C . Over all I'm happy with it mainly because it's not big and bulky. I'm going to buy another so that can one be on charge while I'm using the other. The modes are as follows: > bright > medium > low > off Press and hold > ultra bright Double press > flash red One press to switch off whatever mode is selected.

Only used it once but it seems all good. Very bright and battery good. Used in a light rain shower and seemed ok with it. Comfortable to wear too.

Great piece of kit for the low cost. Use it for running and have it on a slight tilt to avoid hitting puddles, bumps and dog eggs. Highly recommend.

This little torch is perfect. I keep it clipped to the peak of a baseball cap ready for use after dark dog walks and it does exactly what I need. Lightweight, relatively subtle compared to a normal headtorch and with variable brightness.

Proper headlamp, not one of those gimics

This is a good headtorch, long battery life, bright and with a good headstrap. But...... I can't find a good reason for the motion sensitive feature, it goes off as well as on so if you're up close to something it's not ideal being plunged back into darkness. Also the torch bit could do with a neoprene/foam cushion on the back as it does start to press into the forehead.

Eclaire bien, plutot légère, bonne qualité.

Used for the early morning walks during the Camino de Santiago. Chosen for function and weight, I’d bring this headlight on the next activity. Easy to use and worked great. Wish it came with a small bag to keep tidy.

Best headlamps I’ve had so far. I’ve bought several other cheap headlamps and it’s always hit or miss but these one rock. Bright, not heavy at all, the functionality is my favorite part though. So you go through the various brightnesses and after three seconds of that if you click the power button once it turns off and you can have it on any brightness and press the motion sensor button and it does the motion on whatever level and it works great and hit the power again it’s off we all hate the ones where you gotta click through like 8 things to turn it off plus the battery lasts hours and hours I actually don’t know how long cuz it’s at least over 5 hours but I just like everything charged up .

Bra pannlampa

La calidad se ve buena. Muchos modos de luz que permiten una gran visión. Me han sorprendido los lúmenes que ofrece y la duración de la bateria. La única pequeña pega es el ajuste de la cinta que a veces se hace un poco complicado pero sin problema. Sin duda la recomiendo.
