Choosing a headlamp for camping

Why do you need a suitable headlamp for camping, headlamps are portable and lightweight, and are essential for traveling at night, organizing equipment and other moments.

1, brighter: the higher the lumens, the brighter the light!

In the outdoors, many times “bright” is very important. For example, the night line mountain or explore the cave, the brightness is not enough may be tripped, fall, or miss an important signpost; “lamps” will make you into a “tragedy”. If you need to be bright, then you should pay attention to the parameter of lumens.

(1) Measurement of brightness from lumens

Life, we often say the light “bright or not”, in fact, refers to the luminous flux. The unit of luminous flux is lumen, which reflects the luminous capacity of a light source. If you want to buy a bright lighting, we should pay attention to the lumens of this parameter. High brightness allows you to clearly see the environment in front of you.

(2) The larger the lumen value, the brighter the light.

For outdoor headlamps and flashlights, there is a positive relationship between lumens and brightness: the greater the lumen value, the greater the luminous flux, the greater the luminous power of the light source. For example, a 1000 lumen headlamp is brighter than a 300 lumen headlamp.

(3) The choice of brightness

The higher the brightness of the product price is also higher, when buying need to be combined with their own use of the scene. 100 lumens is equivalent to the light of 8 candles, the primary outdoor camping hiking activities to choose 100 ~ 200 lumens of products enough; mini emergency lighting products are mostly in the 50 lumens or so, but also can meet the lighting needs.

If you participate in outdoor sports have higher requirements for lighting, you can consider 200~500 lumens products. If there are higher requirements, such as walking very fast (night cross-country running), or the need to illuminate a large area, you can consider 500 ~ 1000 lumens of products.

Professional needs, such as rescue search, you can consider more than 1000 lumens headlamp. Bright does not mean far, sometimes need to search and observe, you certainly hope that the light is a little farther, then you need another parameter mentioned below.
