Consider Another Option If

Choose a lighter headlamp if minimizing weight is your main priority, or consider a replaceable-battery model if you regularly spend extended periods away from USB charging and prefer carrying spare batteries instead.

• Three-lens lighting system: Combines one flood lens, one spot lens and one RGB spot lens to provide different lighting options for navigation and close-range tasks.
• 550-lumen maximum output: Delivers strong illumination for nighttime approaches, hiking and technical mountain activities.
• Oversized dual-button controls: Make the headlamp easier to operate in poor weather and while wearing gloves.
• RGB night-vision modes: Red, green and blue lighting provide alternatives to bright white light when preserving night vision is important.
• Brightness memory: Turns the headlamp back on at your selected brightness rather than automatically returning to maximum output.
• Digital Lockout: Helps prevent the headlamp from accidentally switching on inside a pack or pocket.
• USB-C rechargeable battery: A serviceable 1800 mAh Li-ion battery supports USB-C pass-through charging and includes a battery-level indicator
