Regular or sensor flashlight - which model to choose?

Head torch is an indispensable partner during special tasks. It works well on a camping trip, in a dark garage, basement or cave. But what functions should a flashlight have to offer full support during unusual challenges? We have the answer.

Both a camping trip and spring cleaning of the garage are situations when you need your hands free. A flashlight held in a hand makes it difficult to set up a tent in the evening, to light a fire or to move old furniture. And some source of light remains an indispensable convenience which we cannot afford to do without - for our own safety.

That's why the head torch has gained recognition all over the world. Both among lovers of mountain climbing and home heroes of little-used spaces. Here's everything you need to know about it.

The basic utility of a flashlight

The primary utility of a traditional flashlight is to emit focused light that allows you to freely explore the darkness. Head torch fulfills the same task, but has an additional functionality– it’s hands-free. With a comfortable headband attached to the small flashlight, the device allows you to precisely illuminate areas you want to see.

It is also worth paying attention to the power of the torch. The higher the number of lumens generated by the LED bulbs, the brighter the beam of light. For night hiking or tidying up a room with little access to sunlight, torches with a light output of 100 lumens will suffice. Long hikes in the dark or cleaning up in a darkened room are best done with a torch that emits at least 300 lumens.

One device - many applications

Head torch is an equipment which can be used in various situations. It will prove useful on a forest or mountain trail, in the garage and under a tent. What is the reason for its multi-tasking? It is worth taking a closer look.

Mountain hiking

Mountains have always enchanted people with their wild beauty. However, reaching the most magnificent viewpoints quite often ends up with a return trip after sunset. In order to return safely, it is necessary to have lighting which does not take up your hands as you need them for holding poles or supporting yourself on rocks or branches. Only if you are equipped with a head torch, you will be able to march safely.

Camping

Spending the summer in a tent is an amazing adventure for both young and old campers. Short, warm nights are the perfect time to spend the night outdoors. However, even then it is good to have a head torch. Despite the late sunset, many camping activities are carried out after dark and require full freedom of both hands, e.g. for pitching a tent or lighting a campfire. This would not be possible with traditional torches.

DIY

A workshop is a place that is not always well lit. For some tools you have to reach into a cupboard in the darkest part of the room. Looking under the hood of a car at night is also quite a problem. There's no way to do anything with a flashlight in your grease-covered hand. Therefore, the first item on the list of workshop equipment should be a head torch.

 

Spring cleaning

The moment of general cleaning comes eventually in every household. And while keeping your home tidy every day makes it easier to clean, you don't get to look in the cellar that often and it's not always well lit. And it's there that you can find treasures that would be impossible to take out without a mobile light source leaving you hands-free.

Motion sensor 

Emitting a strong beam of light is the basic task of a head torch. But it is worth keeping in mind that even such a small device can have additional functions to facilitate its use. One of them is a motion sensor. This is a small sensor making the light of the flashlight turn on when motion is detected. This solution is perfect for situations when, as a result of thorough cleaning or car repair, your hands are covered with a substance that makes it impossible to start the flashlight manually. In such a situation you can get by just with a quick wave of the hand in front of the head torch, which will start illuminating hard to reach places.

TS1198 Head Torch

When choosing a head torch you should take a look at the TS1198 model with Sensor function. It is equipped with 3 independent light sources of 360 lumens. This ensures efficient lighting of even the darkest and most inaccessible corners. The automatic motion sensor makes it easy to light the flashlight in demanding situations when you can't press a button.

 

 

 

Powered by two 2000 mAh batteries, it provides uninterrupted operation for many hours, so an all-night march or cleaning the garage need not be divided into several stages. The IPX4 waterproof design is suitable for all weather conditions.

Summary

A head torch is a piece of equipment that absolutely should be in every household. Its multitasking makes it as useful for people who value adventure and physical activity as for home DIY enthusiasts. However, before choosing it, you should define your expectations and choose a model that will allow the most comfortable use, such as switching the light on touch-free.
