Head Torch Rechargeable, Blukar 2000L Super Bright LED Lightweight Waterproof Headlamp Headlight with Red Warning Lights, Motion Sensor Control, 6 Light Modes, 30 Hrs Runtime for Running, Hiking etc.

Product Information

This is near enough identical to the Everbrite; it comes with the same motion sensor function, the COB LED is bright and has two dimmable phases, and there’s a red light with fixed or strobe effect settings. There are three light levels that can be used in both the motion sensing and standard modes. Most head torches with a motion sensing feature only let you use high level. There is also one flashing red light mode which you activate with a long press of the power button.

It works surprisingly well, although we’re also glad that you can turn the function off as it could be really unhelpful in a garage situation for accidentally turning the torch off… The 350 lumen light can be dimmed, and there’s a red light, too, both of which have strobe settings. The headband is comfortable and is fully adjustable. This head torch is also fully waterproof should you get caught out in a shower. The actual rating is just ‘IP’ followed by two numbers and one or more optional characters. The first number is actually for dust exclusion – most devices are not tested for this, so use an X instead. It is safe to say though that if a head torch is reasonably waterproofed, it is likely to be fairly dust proof as well.Even so, others here have a usefully brighter main light, even without a changeable beam, and feel usefully better quality. A head torch is not something that all detectorists will need but for those who prefer to detect at night, whilst the rest of the world sleeps, they can be an important part of the essential toolkit. The Blukar rechargeable head torch has good build quality and doesn’t weigh much so you hardly notice you are wearing it. Comfort is also a big consideration, as many people want these for walking, cycling and more, so we were sure to test these out for how good they are if you plan on using them for more than just a potter around the garage.

An IPX8 head torch is typically protected in water beyond 3 feet. The exact depth is specified by the manufacturer. An IPX6 rating means the LED head torch is fully weatherproof. These products can survive ‘powerful water jet’ conditions All in all, taking into account the low price I think this is a good value for money head torch. And to start the new year off, we are giving one of these head torches away! Low light mode is available when you first turn the head torch on. This is bright enough to read your machine’s display. On high mode, it is much brighter. You can certainly see a good distance all around. The EverBrite’s COB LED light has a motion sensor function, which allows you to turn it on or off with the swipe of a hand.

On paper, the Lovcoyo looks really impressive. It’s waterproof, has a spotlight torch with a ‘zoom’ function that focuses the light beam, and a floodlight for a wider beam beneath the spotlight. The 200 lumen rating seems low in this company but in practice this was still one of the brighter torches we tested, with a headlamp that swivels downward and that runs for some 40 hours when on low. The first digit (0-6) shows the level of protection from solids such as dust, debris and other discarded fine material. This IP rating is effectively rain proof as it refers to protection from splashing water. These water resistant headlamps can withstand a light rain shower as they are protected against splashing or sprayed water from any angle for some time.

So we’ve limited this product test to only rechargeable head torches that offer 200 lumens or more, but that still leaves room for a broad spread of price and performance. But, while the torch body itself feels durable in parts - the metal surround around the led feels good - it feels quite cheap in others, especially the plastics immediately around the LED. For detailed garage work, you’ll probably want it on high, but it’ll still do three hours in that mode, and there’s a red light and a pulse setting for both white- and red- modes.They can be used individually or together, and there’s a strobe light setting. But, it’s supposed to throw light for up to 150m yet we didn’t see anything like that, and it’s nowhere near as bright as some of the others here, either. The Aplos also feels durable and hefty thanks to its metal body, if not as hefty and well-built as the Sofirn. Even so, with 1600 Lumen, this is one of the brightest lights we tested, and it’s a neat touch that the on-switch glows red when the battery gets low. Head torches can be invaluable for work in the garage, brightening up the darkest of engine bay nooks and suspension crannies.
