Optics and Lighting Capabilities

White light color temperature: 6500–7500K, providing enhanced contrast and clear outlining of illuminated objects. Maximum brightness: 500 lm. Beam range up to 100 m. The device is suitable for illuminating work areas, evening walks, camping, and emergency situations.

Operating Modes and Control

The interface is divided into 2 groups depending on the emitter type: main white group and light effects (Scene mode). The headlamp is equipped with an electronic button on the top of the body and a front rotary switch. It features gesture control for quick on/off with a hand movement in front of the lens, as well as a lock/unlock function to prevent accidental activation.

Please note! The runtime in high mode is indicated taking into account power reduction when overheating protection is triggered — the headlamp automatically reduces brightness to prevent overheating.

Power Source and Charging

Power is provided by a 1000 mAh Li-ion battery. Operating voltage: 3.0–4.2 V with an allowable limit of 2.8–4.2 V, ensuring stable operation in all modes. There is a charge level indicator that shows battery status and low charge. Charging via USB Type-C port with the included cable. Full charging time: 1 hr 20 min.

Physical Parameters and Design

The body is made of plastic with a polycarbonate lens, making the headlamp lightweight — weight 65 g with battery. Dimensions: 67.7 x 36 x 29.6 mm. Impact resistance: withstands drops from a height of up to 1 m. Water resistance: IP66 (fully dustproof and resistant to heavy rain and splashes); the USB-C charging port has internal moisture protection.

Wearing: a two-section elastic band distributes pressure and reduces pinpoint load on the forehead. Additional mounting options: built-in magnet for metal surfaces and a quick-release rear panel that serves as a clip for attaching to clothing.
