Four Headlamps for Climbers

2. Aktik Core. Offering 600 Lumins at only 88g, this light offers both a proximity light for around camp but also a focussed beam for route finding.
3. Swift RL. Offering 1100!!! Lumins at only 100g, this light has both a proximity light and a focussed beam but additionally comes with reactive lighting (RL) technology. RL tech adjusts the light brightness to what you need by continuously monitoring the light being reflected back to you, this greatly saves on the power being used which in turn extends your battery life.
4. Nao RL. Offering 1500 Lumins at 145g. The Nao is the brightest in their sport range and offers maximum light coverage for running or moving through terrain. The unique LED array illuminates everything without an edge to help you move quickly.
