Lumen is an important measure of lighting equipment. The higher the lumen, the brighter the headlamp?
Yes, there is a proportional relationship between lumen and brightness, if all other factors are the same. But lumen is not the only determinant of brightness.
The most important thing to choose a headlamp is to know that lumens (lm), the so-called lumens you can take it as brightness, 50 lumens and 300 lumens, 300 lumens brightness is higher, the higher the lumen number, the higher the brightness. If you want to dig into what a lumen is, it’s the brightness of the visible light emitted from a light source.
So, the more focused the headlights, the better?
Not exactly so. The laser pointer is very focused, strong and penetrating, but only that point; the powerful flashlight shoots far away, but sacrifices most of the lighting area…so everything is moderate. At the focus Angle of the headlamp, we consider the usual visual Angle range of the human eye, and the light column allows the user to see the required area without necessarily turning the Angle frequently. In fact, human vision is a sensitive area at 10 degrees, 10~20 degrees can correctly identify information, and 20 to 30 degrees are more sensitive to dynamic objects. Based on this perspective, we can determine the appropriate focus range of the head light column.
According to your usage scenario choose the high lumens headlamp or low lumens headlamp.
50-100Lumens
Generally speaking, it is best to have at least 50 lumen headlights, suitable for the situation: Join an outdoor club with team leaders and guides Cooking, dining camp..
100-200Lumens
More than 100 lumen headlights can basically cope with a lot of situations, although the brightness is still limited, but as long as you walk slowly, there will not be too big a problem. However, it is still not recommended to serve as a team leader. Applicable situation: mountain-climbing camp Cooking, dining
More than 200 lumens, or even more than 300 lumens headlamp can let you walk at night, because of the brightness of high brightness, so you can better grasp the surrounding, front environment, but the higher the lumens headlamp price is higher. Applicable situation: mountain-climbing Back to the stream The more off-road run.
