FAQs

How many lumens do I need for walking at night?

100–200 lumens is enough for paths; 200–400 for rougher terrain. Red mode preserves night vision and is useful in camp. Check battery life at your chosen setting.

Are rechargeable headtorches worth it for camping?

Yes. USB-rechargeable models avoid carrying spare batteries. Take a power bank for multi-day trips, or choose one that also takes AAA as backup.

Where can I buy headtorches in the UK?

Amazon UK, Go Outdoors, Decathlon, and outdoor shops. Petzl, Black Diamond, and Fenix are well reviewed for UK use.
