Common questions

Questions before you buy

Is a 500-lumen head torch good for walking?

For many walks it can be a useful peak output, but terrain, beam shape and runtime at your chosen setting determine whether it fits your needs.

Is 500 lumen the same as 500 lumens?

Yes. Both search phrases refer to a luminous flux figure of 500 lumens.

How far does a 500-lumen head torch shine?

There is no fixed distance implied by lumens. Check the specific model's beam distance and the conditions under which it is stated.

Should I buy a 500-lumen rechargeable head torch?

Consider how often you use it, whether charging is convenient and whether you can carry a spare power option. Compare the exact model's mode data.
