How to use outdoor headlights correctly

Headlights are indispensable and important equipment in outdoor activities, such as hiking at night, camping at night, and the usage rate of outdoor headlights is very high. Next, I will teach you how to use outdoor headlights and precautions, please study carefully.

How to use outdoor headlights correctly ? The specific method is as follows;

The button switch on the top of the outdoor headlight adopts a 3W high-power lamp tube, and uses the lens to focus and reflect the function, stretch and adjust the focus and low beam, and the farthest range can be 100 meters.

First gear: weak light;

Second gear: strong light;

Third gear: Strobe;

Fourth gear: off.

The precautions for using outdoor headlights are summarized as follows;

1. Rechargeable Headlights or flashlights are very important equipment, but the batteries must be taken out when not in use to avoid corrosion.

2. A small number of headlights are waterproof or even water-resistant. If you think waterproof headlamp is very important, you can buy such waterproof bulbs, but it is best to be rainproof, because the weather in the wild is not something you can control;

3. The headlight seat must have a comfortable cushion, some of which hang beside the ear like a pen;

4. The switch of the lamp holder must be durable. Don’t put it in the backpack and it will turn on by itself to waste power or cause some problems. The switch design of the lamp holder is preferably a groove. If you think there will be problems during the journey, it is best to use a patch snug, remove the bulb or remove the battery;

5. The light bulb is not durable for a long time. It is better to carry a spare light bulb for use. For example, light bulbs such as halogen krypton argon will generate heat and be brighter than vacuum tube light bulbs. Although the use of high amperage will shorten the battery life, most light bulbs will The amperage is marked on the bottom, and the typical battery life is 4 amps/hour, which equals 8 hours for a 0.5 amp bulb.

6. If you are climbing at night, it is better to use the headlight of the light bulb as the main light source, because its effective lighting distance is at least 10 meters (2 AA batteries), and it also has a normal time of 6-7 hours. Brightness, and most of them can be rainproof, and you don’t have to worry about bringing two spare batteries for a night (don’t forget to bring a spare flashlight, use it when changing batteries).

7. A way to test LEDs: Generally, three batteries are installed, first install two batteries, and short the third section with a key for even and long-lasting (compared to headlights without a booster circuit), and the lighting The time is relatively long (the famous brand [AA] battery is about 30 hours), and it is ideal as a camp light (that is, used in a tent); the disadvantage of the headlight with a boost circuit is that this type of headlight has poor waterproof performance (most of them are Not waterproof).
