Questions before you buy
Is a laser headlamp the same as a head torch?
No. A head torch usually provides LED illumination, while a laser tool projects a narrow beam for measurement or alignment.
Can a laser pointer be worn as a headlamp?
Use equipment only for its intended purpose and follow its safety instructions. A pointer is not a substitute for a general-purpose head torch.
What should I buy for hands-free outdoor lighting?
Choose a head torch with a suitable flood or mixed beam, a secure headband and a weather rating appropriate to your conditions.
Do headlamps use lasers for their main beam?
Consumer head torches commonly use LED emitters. Check the specification of a specific product rather than assuming it uses a laser.
