Questions before you buy
Is a 3000-lumen head torch brighter than an 800-lumen model?
On the stated maximum output, yes, but that does not show how long either model sustains the mode or how its beam is distributed.
Do head torches really produce 3000 lumens?
Some products publish that peak figure. Verify the exact model, stated test basis and mode duration in the manufacturer's technical information.
How many lumens do I need for walking?
It depends on speed, terrain and ambient light. A lower sustained mode may be more useful than a very bright short-duration boost.
Is a 100-lumen head torch enough for close work?
It may be suitable for nearby tasks, depending on beam pattern and working conditions; compare the manufacturer's lower-mode output and runtime.
