1. How to choose headlights?
The choice of lamps is a troublesome problem. Function, price, weight, volume, versatility and even appearance will affect your final decision. Then start with the most basic needs, how to choose at a specific time and in a specific environment Specific lamps.
1). Consider the use
a. If you don’t know how to walk at night, and you don’t need to use it to search for water sources at night, you just have a leisurely dinner in the camp, you don’t need to use too complicated lamps. In this case, the simplest LED lamps are enough. Now, the lighting time is long, the use is economical, and it is convenient and small. The most popular $15.99 5LED headlamp is a cheap choice, and various ordinary small flashlights are also good (but sometimes it is best to DIY a small headband) .

b. If you are often in the wild, you may have to go to the mountains in the middle of the night in the rain. In this case, there is an incandescent light source lamp with sufficient brightness, which is waterproof and reliable, and it is more power-saving and has a longer range. What you need to consider first, in short, what you need is a well-balanced lamp. If you want to save some money, domestic imitation L flashlights and some domestic headlamps are fine, but their weight and volume are too big for their brightness.
c. If you plan to do a long-distance donkey trip, you need not only enough lighting time, but also the necessary lighting brightness. At the same time, two lamps with different types and different batteries may make you more depressed. Then, the dual light source lamp is Your best choice.
2). Consider the environment of use
The special requirements of lamps and lanterns in ordinary outdoor environments are not very high, but in some special environments, we must prescribe the right medicine.
a. Winter
The battery performance at low temperatures is greatly reduced. Unless you have the strength to carry enough spare batteries, the best choice in the northern winter or snowy mountain environment is a dual-light source headlight with an external battery box. You must pay attention to the operation of the headlight. It can be done easily even with thick gloves.
b. diving
Diving lamps emphasize absolute waterproofness and reliability, sufficient lighting time and high brightness requirements, and it is best to have spare bulbs that can be used immediately. The requirements for volume and weight are not very demanding, and the flexibility of the use of hand-held lamps is better.
c. Caving
The environment that caverns deal with is more sinister. Flowing water, falling rocks, etc. require headlights to be sturdy and waterproof. Of course, it must also be conveniently combined with a helmet. The calcium carbide lights for long-term caverns will not be used here for the time being. High brightness is necessary. In order to cope with the unimaginable dilemma caused by the sudden extinguishment of the bulb during the process, and to turn on the second light source in a timely manner, a dual-light source lamp is the most suitable, and the range of the LED is obviously not enough. Then, the double lamp bowl Headlights with dual Halogen bulbs are useful.
d. Search
If it is used for outdoor rescue and search use, there is no doubt that brightness and range are in the first place, so two choices of sacrifice are usually made: sacrifice weight and volume; or sacrifice the life of the bulb in exchange for brightness, and sacrifice the continuous use time. In exchange for small size.

2. Matters needing attention in headlight selection
1). Light brightness problem
Of course, the higher the brightness, the better, and the larger the irradiation range, the better, but for the irradiation distance, more than 100 meters is enough, and eyes that are too far away can't see clearly (except for special purposes).
2). Headlight weight problem
The weight of a single-cell battery is not very obvious, but for lithium batteries with more than 2 cells, the head will feel heavy and uncomfortable after being worn for a long time. Try to choose a single-cell or an external battery pack.
3). The problem of the length of the headlamp lighting duration
Buyers who buy headlights often know very well that they all hope that the longer the duration, the better. They don’t need to charge frequently, and they no longer run out of electricity at critical moments; but the duration of headlights is limited, but it can last 8-10 Hour is enough, because the longer the duration, the brightness is not good and the battery capacity has to be correspondingly increased with multiple pressure sensitivity.
4). Charging time problem
If the capacity of the headlamp battery is increased without increasing the output current of the charger, the charging time will be doubled. Therefore, when choosing a high-capacity battery, choose a high-current charger.
5). The waterproof performance of the headlight
Ordinary ones are general rain-proof. If you really dive, most of them are hanging up, so you need to understand more when buying and choose according to your own needs.
6). The problem of headlamp elastic band
Like users who wear them on their heads every day, no matter how durable the material is, they will loosen up, so you can buy one more when you buy.
7). The problem of headlight close range
The headlight is okay for long-distance illumination, but it can't be absorbed at close distances. The spot is very chaotic and uneven and there are black holes. As for this problem, there is no other way to solve this problem except for the headlight that can adjust the focus and the addition of a PC cover. Good requirements you need.
