What Output Should a Headlamp Have?
Our Black Diamond headtorches offer various outputs, ranging from 175 to 1500 lumens. You might be tempted to go for maximum output for maximum visibility. But it's not quite that simple. Too much light can drain the battery faster, and your eyes will have a harder time readjusting to the darkness once it is turned off. Of course, not enough light can also be limiting, so it's all about finding the right balance. Additionally, the output needed can depend on your activity: for night hiking or camping, your pace will generally be slower, and you won't need to anticipate obstacles as much as in night trail running.
Which Headlamp for Ultra-Trail Running?
For ultra-trail running, opt for a powerful headlamp of at least 500 lumens for optimal visibility at night, even in the rain. Ensure that it has long battery life for many hours of darkness and is waterproof to withstand all conditions. Don't forget to carry spare batteries to power your light through the night.
Rechargeable or Disposable Battery Headlamp?
Rechargeable lamps offer long-term savings and increased convenience, eliminating the need to frequently replace batteries, and are more environmentally friendly. They are ideal for regular use. Conversely, disposable battery models are perfect for situations where access to an electricity source for recharging is limited, offering a reliable and immediate solution by simply inserting new batteries, which is particularly advantageous while traveling or during long outdoor activities when no other options are available.
How to Recharge Your Black Diamond Headtorch?
To recharge a Black Diamond headlamp equipped with a battery, simply connect the lamp to a power source via a standard USB cable. This universal method makes it easy to recharge from various devices like a computer, wall socket, or external battery, ensuring great flexibility during your travels or outdoor adventures.
PowerTap™ Technology
In the latest models, PowerTap™ technology allows users to quickly and intuitively switch between maximum brightness and a moderate power level with a simple tap. This feature is particularly useful in various contexts, allowing you to adjust lighting to specific needs of the moment without interruptions, thus optimising battery life management. This technology significantly enhances the user experience by making headtorches more flexible and suitable for a wide range of situations, from moving quickly in darkness to performing tasks where less intense light is needed to prevent glare.
