Choosing a Headlamp for Hiking or Camping

More people choose to use headlamps than the traditional flashlights because headlamps free both our hands helping us to do more. Is it better to choose a headlamp than invest on a really good handheld flashlight? Can you really accomplish more things with a hands free flashlight? Here are some of the points to consider before buying your very own headlamp.

Price

Budget is usually the deciding factor when it comes to purchasing anything. Even if an item has great specifications and works perfectly, if it's not within our budget range then there is a really good chance that you won't purchase it. Elite Outdoor Gear has a collection of LED Lenser H7R and LED Lenser H14R, all at affordable rates. Ask yourself, what are the features that you need in a headlamp? Usually, the more features, the higher the price gets. Decide on what you want and see what your budget can cover. If you want more features in a headlamp, you'll have to invest a little more.

Lumens

Lumens define the intensity of the headlamp light. Most people give importance to this feature more than any other. Still, this varies depending on how you will be using the headlamp. You may be buying an expensive headlamp with 350 lumens, but do you really need that level of glare and intensity? Just like buying a camera, a bigger number of megapixels doesn't really make a camera better than another camera with lesser megapixels. It all depends on how you use it, and if you really need it. Other factors to consider could be the run time or the beam distance of the LED Lenser headlamp that you have been eyeing on.

Other Special Features

Some headlamps are only equipped with the basic features, and maybe that's all you'll ever need. But some adventurous folk will need more than just the ordinary LED Lenser headlamp. Other special features that you might be looking for are water resistance, headlamp tilt angle, and even the strap material. The more complicated a headlamp is the higher the price is. But with a bigger budget, you get more features and more ways to use your headlamp.
