£129.95

Whether for early morning walks with the dog, working on your car, or in the event of an emergency, having a good head torch is a valuable tool to have in your home. For this reason, LEDLENSER have developed the HF8R CORE Rechargeable Head Torch as a robust, technologically advanced head torch designed to illuminate anything you need.

Straight out of the box, I was surprised by just how sturdy and durable the entire head torch was. The headtorch light is encased in an aluminium shell that gives extra sturdiness, ensuring no knocks or bumps will damage the light inside. Plus, it's made with an IP68 waterproof rating, so it is made to maintain its illumination even if submerged in water. The headtorch we got to review came in a lovely teal colour, which covers the light, and then the same colour is featured along the head strap, which connects with a rubber band that sits across the back of your head. The torch even comes with a top strap, which sits over the top of your head for added support. Across all of these, comfort and support have been taken into consideration to securely fasten the head torch to your head, whilst being designed to stay super comfortable. Plus, it even comes with an additional adhesive pad that can be attached behind the headtorch light for extra comfort.

The light itself is super powerful and backed by a ton of leading technology from LEDLENSER. The light has three brightness levels, as well as a maximum power boost function of 1600 lumens. One of the main perks of the light is that it is built with a patent-pending Adaptive Light Beam Technology. This technology means that when the light is on, it will automatically dim and focus without the need to touch the headtorch. This gives a brilliant hand-free functionality to the head torch for easy operations, even when your hands are busy.

In addition to this hands-free function, the headtorch also features another patent-pending Digital Advanced Focus System, which is used in the rotary wheel on the front of the head torch to allow you to adjust the light from spot to flood lighting. This means you can adjust from a flooded light to a focused spotlight that offers up to 210 metres of illuminated range.

For battery life, the head torch is super impressive, with up to 90 hours of battery life from a single charge. This long battery life is ideal for long camping and hiking adventures, and when you do need to charge the head torch, it is super easy using the included magnetic charging system, which comes with the head torch. This just magnetises to the headtorch and provides a fast level of charging, with the ability to fully charge the head torch in just 4.5 hours.

For a head torch, the LEDLENSER HF8R CORE Rechargeable Head Torch is a great choice. With a bunch of great technology behind it, the head torch is designed to deliver superior functionality, hands-free control and easy fast charging. If you frequently go camping, or are looking for a great headtorch for emergencies, then the LEDLENSER HF8R CORE Rechargeable Head Torch is a brilliant choice to keep you on your way – even in the dark!

Pros:

• Hands-free function for easy use
• 90-hour battery life and fast charging
• Comfortable fit and durable construction

Cons:

• It’s a hefty price for a head torch, but for the patent-pending technology and great functionality, it’s a great option if you are a frequent head torch user
