Quick Take

With a headlamp, there is no need to choose between cooking and having light, leaving hands free to make dinner effortlessly. Any light while camping is essential camping gear, but it shouldn't keep your hands full.


What's New

Unlike other lights, headlamps are hands-free, making tasks easier and more efficient. Night vision is preserved while still providing additional light where needed, attracting fewer bugs compared to white light.

Key Features

  • The sun begins to descend beyond the horizon, and it's time to settle into your campsite for the evening.
  • The first matter of business?
  • Dinner, of course.
  • As daytime turns into night, you have one hand on the pan and another holding a flashlight, which is no easy task.

What Changed

For the person staying close to the campsite or needing lighting in a tent, look for a wide flood beam that maintains runtime by using around 5 to 30 lumens. For those who want to venture out into the dark, a headlamp with up to 700 to 1200 lumens, and up to 250 to 500 feet of max distance gives you confidence in your surroundings after dark.
