Head Torch Rechargeable, Blukar 2000L Super Bright LED Lightweight Waterproof Headlamp Headlight with Red Warning Lights, Motion Sensor Control, 6 Light Modes, 30 Hrs Runtime for Running, Hiking etc.

Product Information

When the Gesture Control Mode is switched on, you can control the head flashlight switch as long as you wave your hand to the front of the lamp. Our main issue is that the narrow strap doesn’t keep the torch all that stable when you’re moving around, and the run time isn’t great. Head torch manufacturers have however chosen to standardise the IP rating often used in waterproof head torches.

A head torch is not something that all detectorists will need but for those who prefer to detect at night, whilst the rest of the world sleeps, they can be an important part of the essential toolkit. But if you choose unwisely their cost andperformance can leave a lot to be desired; that's why we've tested a cross section of the industry's best-known examples. These water resistant headlamps can withstand a light rain shower as they are protected against splashing or sprayed water from any angle for some time. It’s similar to the Sofirn in design, with a removable, cylindrical, metal-bodied torch that can be rotated in the single strap.It is safe to say though that if a head torch is reasonably waterproofed, it is likely to be fairly dust proof as well.

A red light on the back of the strap is also great as a safety warning when running or cycling at night. We seriously considered giving the Sofirn the win here; it’s the brightest with a huge 2700 lumen when both LED lights are on - one of which is a more focussed, bright white light and one of which is a broader, warmer white beam. However, the torch body is hefty, so it can slide down your head if you move around a lot - despite the central, over-your-head strap.

It’s a shame that it’s not waterproof, but on balance of quality, comfort and a great run time, the BiolLite is the best here. The first digit (0-6) shows the level of protection from solids such as dust, debris and other discarded fine material. Even though the BioLite is a single-strap headtorch, it’s still really comfortable with a wide, soft, curved backing to the light that helps to keep it from bouncing and slipping, and an easily adjustable strap.

The Blukar rechargeable head torch has good build quality and doesn’t weigh much so you hardly notice you are wearing it.It works surprisingly well, although we’re also glad that you can turn the function off as it could be really unhelpful in a garage situation for accidentally turning the torch off… The 350 lumen light can be dimmed, and there’s a red light, too, both of which have strobe settings. The Aplos also feels durable and hefty thanks to its metal body, if not as hefty and well-built as the Sofirn. This is near enough identical to the Everbrite; it comes with the same motion sensor function, the COB LED is bright and has two dimmable phases, and there’s a red light with fixed or strobe effect settings. It also gets a strap that goes over, as well as around your head, and a row of small LEDs lets you know how much battery power is left.
