Our Verdict

The Suprabeam V3pro is a top-of-the-line rechargeable headlamp that delivers brilliant performance in a compact package. Putting out a staggering 1000 lumens on max mode from its CREE LED can throw a blazing beam over 245 meters – yet still manages runtimes up to 225 hours on its dimmest 6-lumen low.

One of its standout features is the sliding Hyperfocus optics, which lets you smoothly transition from a wide flood to an intense long-range spot beam with a sliding motion. The intelligent light control and metal switch also provide convenient dimming, mode memory, and lockout options.

The lightweight 184g aluminium body is ruggedly built yet balances the lamp on your head. The lamp unit easily detaches from the headband and battery pack for versatility. Speaking of the battery, the built-in USB rechargeable 2800mAh lithium pack is a great addition, allowing you to quickly top it off from any USB power source without removing it from the lamp.

Other thoughtful design elements include a red safety flasher on the back of the battery pack and a battery reserve mode that dims the output when power is running low to extend runtime. The V3pro can run for up to 3 hours on max or 8 hours on its 180-lumen default setting before hitting reserve.

Features

• SLIDING HYPERFOCUS™ – Hyperfocus™ optical system collects the LED radiance and distributes it with maximum efficiency from a perfect round floodlight beam to a highly intensive, long range spot beam. Just slide the head of the lamp for the correct light setting.
• RED WARNING LIGHT – The red blinking warning light on the back of the batterypack will make you visible from behind. The light can be turned on and off.
• USB CHARGING – Compatible with USB. This enables you to charge everywhere, either with a 5V adapter, through your computer or with a car charger.
• Versatile Headlamps – Our professional headlamps are fitted with a versatile plug system that protects and prolongs the products lifetime. The plugs in the headlamp and battery pack will detach if your headlamp gets tangled. Suprabeam headlamps are built to last. This is not only reflected in the choice of materials, but also the modular construction. The headlamp consists of four parts; lamp head, cable, batterypack, and headband – which are all interchangeable. This does not only make maintenance easier, but also prolongs product lifetime considerably
• Battery Reserve Light -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. This way you will get a visual notification, that the battery is low, and you will always know, when it is time to find a new battery or start heading home. With at least 40-80 lumens available in battery reserve for up to 30-60 minutes, depending on the rechargeable headlamp model.
• Intelligent Light Control and Switch – A Suprabeam V3pro rechargeable switch is first grade electronics, ensuring a long lifetime and correct functionality every time. The switch is 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
