Buyers Guide To Lighting.What should you never go out into the hills without???? This key little piece of equipment is not just there to help guide you through your night time adventures but it can be an emergency beacon and signalling device too. It can literally save your life!
When faced with a wall of torches it is likely one of the key pieces of information visible is how many lumens each torch will emit. A lumen describes the amount of light radiated showing how bright a torch may be.
A good headtorch will offer a choice of beam type; a spot light and a flood light, with some having intelligent lighting that adjusts beam type and distance automatically. Others can link to an app on your phone allowing you to manage output and therefore battery life. A lot of torches have “regulated output” so they remain bright for a majority of their battery life and then die quickly. Make sure you have spare batteries or a powerbank to hand. Look out for a torch with a locking facility to stop it accidentally turning on in your backpack and draining the power.
Weight and bulk should also be a serious consideration depending on the activities you wish to use your torch for.
Any of the brands we sell have been through a stringent design, quality and testing process. In some cases this includes real world, low tech testing involving dropping from height, immersing in buckets of water and dropping large metal blocks on prototype torches before they are allowed anywhere near the marketplace.
Buy well, buy once.
Top Tips:
In rain or snow move the light from your head to chest height (i.e: on a pack strap) this is more comfortable for your eyes and improves your vision. This technique also works really well in still, damp cold conditions – with the light at chest height the light will not reflect off the water molecules that condense in front of your face as you breath out.
An orange light option preserves night vision but still allows you to read contours on maps. This function can work well for ultra’s or orienteering.
Try it on. Elastics come in a variety of widths and even if you are planning on using your torch on a helmet there will be times it will be on your head in camp. If you wear a pony tail – make sure it fits!
