LED Headlamp Torches: Compare Hands-Free Light Types

In UK usage, head torch is common; headlamp is also widely understood, especially in product listings. Both usually mean a wearable light attached to a headband or helmet.

Many are rechargeable, while others use replaceable batteries or support both. Check the exact model’s battery system, charging port and whether the power pack is included.

A flood beam suits nearby work, a spot beam helps with distance, and a mixed beam covers a broader range of tasks. Match the pattern to your activity rather than choosing by maximum lumens alone.

Check the model’s stated IP rating and manufacturer guidance. Water resistance varies, and a splash-resistant rating does not mean the lamp can be submerged.
