There are hundreds of head torches on the market and we wanted to choose one that would meet the demands of trail running, which in turn would mean it would make an excellent head torch for other outdoor activities and pretty much anything else! We chose Suprabeam because:

They make exceptionally high quality lights, used mostly by professional organisations. The focus is on achieving supreme quality and superb lighting performance for the entire duration of the products battery and life span

They are one of the only companies to publish 'light curves' showing their goal of consistent light output rather than headline power and duration figures

They offer a 5 year guarantee as standard

We chose the V3 Air Rechargeable because:

The High Strength Aluminium is sturdy and acts as a large heat-sink to ensure the LED is properly cooled

The Li-Po battery provides the continuos power required for consistent light output. You don't get this from non-rechargeable batteries. Also, Li-Po can be recharged from a partial charge without damaging it

It is light weight

The hyperfocus is easy to use and ideal for the constant adjustment required over different terrain, enabling easy adjustment between a wide and narrow beam

The head is also easy to tilt for close-up vs distance vision

The switch is a metal button placed underneath the head, allowing you to step through the light modes easily, even with gloves on. The different light functions are controlled by ILC = Intelligent Light Control. This allows easy switching between modes.

Battery reserve: when the battery reaches the last 10% of its total capacity, its integrated Battery Reserve feature automatically fades the light down to approximately 10-15% of the headlamps maximum lumens output.

The headband is split for comfort, and silicone stripes ensure it doesn't slip. Fits to 50-70 centimetres
