In addition to being lightweight and waterproof, the headlamp used for trail running should also have automatic dimming functions to help you better observe road signs.
The importance of headlamps in cross-country running
In long-distance cross-country races, runners need to run through the night in the mountains, and the weight of the equipment will affect the final result. The weather in the mountains is changeable, and the headlamps need to be waterproof. Running at night also requires extra attention to road conditions, and headlamp need to be dimmed automatically while running.
Trail running headlamp should have the characteristics
Cross-country running headlamp should have three characteristics: waterproof, light and automatic dimming.
A Waterproof headlamp allow cross-country runners to be fearless of sudden downpours.
B The lighter weight features contribute to better results.
C Automatic dimming allows you to see signs and roads at night.
Automatic induction lighting technology
The so-called Sensor headlamp is the use of automatic induction lighting technology, without manually changing the gear, the headlamp can automatically adjust the light according to the distance of the scene, whether it is to see the road sign or the road is very convenient, this function is very practical for the tired cross-country riders at night.
If you’re going to climb a mountain, the harsh, high-altitude environment puts even greater demands on headlamp.
brighter
In the outdoors, many times “light” is very important. For example, walking mountains or exploring caves at night, the brightness is not enough, you may be tripped, injured, or miss important road signs; “Lamps” will lead you into “tragedy”. If you need light, you should focus on the lumen parameter.
Brightness selection
The higher the brightness of the product, the higher the price, the purchase needs to be combined with their own use scenario. 100 lumens is roughly equivalent to the light of 8 candles, and 100~200 lumens is enough for primary outdoor camping activities; Mini emergency lighting products are mostly around 50 lumens, which can also meet lighting needs.
If you participate in outdoor sports have higher requirements for lighting, you can consider products of 200 to 500 lumens. If there are higher requirements, such as walking fast (night trail running), or need to illuminate a large area, you can consider 500 to 1000 lumens of the product.
