Blukar Sensor Headlamp

Bought these for running and evening walks in winter with my dog. Have in the past paid far more for big brand head torches (namely Black Diamond which was great) but my last one finally died a few years ago and I couldn’t afford a replacement at the time so bought a cheap one from a shop that sells screws and fixings. This wasn’t very satisfactory and needed replacing within a couple of months after it died. The shop of screws and fixings replaced it without any issue, however the replacement one’s switch started playing up after a couple of months but I couldn’t be bothered to go back again and have been putting up with it. Saw this twin pack had good reviews and thought I’d give it a go. Glad I did - the pack of two wasn’t much more expensive than the cheap one they replaced. They are great so far (had them about a month at time of writing ). More features than the other one. These have two buttons. The right one (as you’re wearing it) cycles between the different modes - spot, flood, spot & flood, constant red, flashing red, off. In spot, flood or spot & flood mode, pressing and holding the right button dims it gradually to minimum flashes to indicate it’s reached the lowest brightness and then gradually brightens it until it flashes again to indicate maximum brightness and then cycles back to dimming - take your finger off whenever it’s the right brightness for you. The red modes can’t be dimmed as far as I can see. Another nice feature is that pressing the button repeatedly cycles through the modes, but once you’ve settled for a mode and used the lamp for a short while when you press the button again it just turns off, rather than having to keep pressing to go through every mode until you reach the “off” mode. The left button turns it into a hands free on/off mode. Waving your hand across and close to the lamp turns it on and off without having to actually press the button. The angle can be adjusted from straight ahead and downwards towards the ground, so it’s possible to light your path well, without dazzling oncoming traffic and pedestrians. The adjustable elastic head band looks as though it could be replaced fairly easily which might be necessary if you were to use it for night time running, since sweat seems to make elastic weaken fairly quickly in my experience. On this subject it’s worth noting that they are a single, front facing unit without any rear facing red light - some premium lights have a rear facing led as well. That said, I can see no reason why you couldn’t pop two of them on one headband - showing red to the rear and white at the front, although this might be a bit cumbersome. Personally I have a chest mounted light with a built in rear bank of red LEDs which I can use in conjunction with a head torch. All in all, a decent build quality and feel, plenty of features and also nice and bright. Very pleased! Haven’t tested runtime as I’ll only use them for short periods up to 30 mins.

Für knapp 10€ pro Stück bekommt man eine helle Stirnlampe, die gut funktioniert, vielfältige Lichtmodi hat und sich angenehm tragen lässt. Sie ist dimmbar und per Bewegungssensor aktivierbar. Aufladen per USB C, was will man mehr?

Aydınlatması yeterli, çok karanlık alanlarda özellikle yeterli görüş sağlıyor. Uzun atım başka modellere göre daha geniş bir alanı kapsıyor odak noktası çapı oldukça iyi ve yan aydınlatma halkası da yeterli. Ama daha geniş bir aydınlatma için yakın mesafe geniş açıya geçebilirsiniz, neredeyse gözün gördüğü her yer aydınlanıyor. Daha da iyisi buna uzak aydınlatmayı da ekliyorsunuz aydınlatma bu durumda çok kuvvetli oluyor. Ama pilinizi de sömürecektir. Çok uzun süre kullanmadım ama pil iyi gidecek gibi duruyor. Daha da iyisi ışık şiddetini çok düşürebiliyorsunuz bu da kalabalık ortamlarda göz almasını azaltıyor ve çok uzun süreler güvenli aydınlatma veriyor. Bant kalitesi çok iyi, sensör iyi çalışıyor. Ben çok memnunum, normal bir kullanıcı için ideal. Daha yüksek ışık gücü verenler elbette var ama bunun için ısınmayı ve pil de hızlı düşüşü göze almanız gerekecek. Belki de 1 dakika sonra korumaya geçecek. Kesinlikle arabada da bulunmalı gece lastik değiştirmek için 3 tane eliniz olmayacağı için, bu size büyük kolaylık sağlar. Ve başka işler için....

The Blukar Headlamp is a great value. They are very bright and illuminate a wide area, making them perfect for all kinds of activities - hiking, camping, or even working in dimly lit spaces. The various light modes provide great versatility, and the rechargeable feature saves hassle over disposable batteries. The head strap is comfortable, and the build feels durable. The motion sensor control is a handy feature for hands-free operation. Overall, these headlamps are reliable, functional, and a great value. Getting two high-quality headlamps at this price is an awesome deal. Highly recommended!

Bra pris, bra funktion!
