In the outdoor, mountaineering running headlamp is very important equipment, its range of use is also very wide, hiking, mountaineering, camping, rescue, fishing, etc., the advantages of the camping headlamp is also very obvious, such as it can be lit at night, and can free hands, with the movement of the field of vision and move, today let’s talk about how to buy a suitable headlamp for mountaineering.
Mountaineering activities are full of uncertainty, we have to take into account the various environments encountered on the way to the mountain, and then consider whether the headlamp is suitable according to these environments, it is not difficult to find that our headlamp can be used in rainy days, foggy days, snow days, wet days, etc., of course, lighting is the first, so our headlamp lighting is strong, the distance is far, the time is long, the weight should be light, the volume should be small, And it has to be waterproof.
In addition, the camping head lamp must also have a gear and mode, such as high beam, low light, etc., high beam is mainly to find the target, low light is used to move forward.
Then it is necessary to consider the waterproof performance of the camping headlight torch, in the outdoors, whether it is camping, hiking, mountaineering, it is possible to encounter rainy weather, this time is to test the rainproof ability of the headlamp. If it is not rainproof, it may short-circuit as soon as it rains, or even electricity to people, and there is no lighting in rainy days, not only pain, but also security risks.
Waterproof index:
IPX0: No special protection function.
IPX1: prevents water droplets from entering.
IPX2: The tilt of the device is within 15 degrees to avoid water droplets entering.
IPX3: prevent water from entering.
IPX4: Prevents water from entering.
IPX5: Can resist the water column of low pressure spray gun for at least 3 minutes.
IPX6: Can resist the water column of high pressure spray gun for at least 3 minutes.
IPX7: Resistant to soaking in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes.
IPX8: Resistant to continuous immersion in water more than 1 meter deep.
In addition, whether the camping head light is battery or charging, it should be easy to charge, if it can not be charged in the field, then try to choose the battery version, if it is easy to charge, you can consider the charging version. Now many headlights have a special box, when not in use must be put into the box, can not be stuffed into the backpack, otherwise it is easy to accidentally squeeze the switch, thus wasting electricity. Of course, if it is a battery headlamp, you can remove the battery and put it in the bag.
Finally, your head lamps for camping must also have the performance of fall resistance and impact resistance, in outdoor activities, the camping head torch is easy to fall from the head to the ground, if the headlamp is not resistant to fall, then the fall may crack, battery off, line failure, etc., thus affecting the activities behind.
