Thus, in many cases a lower lumen Ledlenser light will deliver a brighter beam than other lights stating a higher lumen count.

I chose this torch for its battery life and brightness/lumen count to use on trail narathons/ultras as well as evening/night runs during winter months. Da ich die Lampe nur für normale Läufe verwende die im Normalfall nicht länger als 90min dauern verwende und ich viel Lichtausbeute möchte aber keine extrem lange Leuchtdauer brauche habe ich mich für Modus 3 entschieden.

Equipped with a sports profile, rotating head and three lighting levels (Power, Low Power and Mid Power), it is extremely versatile. The Rab Kitbag 50 is made using a tough and durable 600D fabric and is coated with a TPU water-resistant film. The LedLenser Neo 10R is a rechargeable head torch designed for hikes, cycling, running and other outdoor activities. What I like about the setup is that it takes the weight off my head and provides light lower to the ground. Upon unboxing and looking at the headlight strap, it wasn’t clear to me how the large plastic battery cage would fit on my head.

The max setting is amazingly bright but you can only have it on for couple of minutes, then it automaticly dimms itself down to the 90% setting, to save the battery. I put the 10R to the test by “forgetting” to charge multiple consecutive days and was able to put four consecutive days of 1 hour 30 minutes with no recharge. The Original Mountain Marathon (OMM) is a two day ultra-running orienteering event, hosted every October in a remote and hostile landscape. After about two miles in and adjusting the light about three times, I hardly noticed it was there except for the 650 lumens lighting up the trail.Battery pack at the back is a bit bulky (to be expected if you need a really long battery life) but, surprisingly, not really noticeable or obstructive during a run.

I have always been a huge advocate of proper sun protection—having seen far too many sailors and family members suffer from sun damaged skin. Innovative Smart Light technology allows you to customise the light of your Led Lenser NEO10R head torch by assigning different functions to the NEO10R's buttons. The transportation lock also ensures that the light isn't switched on by accident when in a bag or in storage. No matter whether you run on or off the trails, skate, parkour or practice other fast-paced sports, our NEO head torch will be an essential part of your kit. Jacob: The 10R battery is large and heavy as far as on-head batteries go, but with this comes long battery life.

I had never heard of LedLenser prior to being offered to review and while naturally skeptical at first, I walked away a fan. The torch feels and presents as a quality piece of equipment but as yet I cannot comment on battery life. My current main head torch which I use for long races is the MH10 and so I wanted to compare it to the new NEO10R. I found that the 10R lights up from the trail floor to the canopy that easily spans a double track trail or road. The ML6 lantern replaces the CalorGas laterns that were so popular in camping adventures of the past.

These devices are equipped with adjustable straps that make the head torches sit securely on the head, freeing up your hands and offering full freedom of movement. The battery itself is light and balances well with no bounce and the rubber cap grips the back of the head.The battery can be charged easily inside the unit, eliminating the need to remove the battery to charge it. John: As a daily 4:30am runner, I rely on a dependable battery for upwards of 2 hours that takes into account my forgetfulness of recharging when I get home. Whether you are a professional or casual runner, our versatile and strong NEO head torch is the best option to light your way at night and especially over the darker winter months. A boost function (if available) can be used several times, but is only available for a short time at a time. Simple helmet mount for frontal attachment of compatible head torches by means of an adhesive pad, compatible with H8R, iH8R, NEO10R and MH10 Head Torches ONLY.
