Our Verdict

The tagline, ‘Darkness is not an excuse anymore’, hits the nail on the head with this one; One of the used such a powerful headlamp. “Bright as Day” originates from Norway, and this powerful head torches asset to how dark their winters must be.

This is a comfortable head torch to wear. It utilises an Interchangeable battery with a one-meter extension cable, so you can keep it in a pocket close to your core in the winter months to keep the battery from draining.

The torch and battery combined can be cumbersome, so the headtorch distributes its weight with a headband that comes over the top of the head and around the head. If you like to run with a cap, this can be a pain, but OK with a beanie
