LEDLENSER, the leading German flashlight brand specializing in powerful, durable, and high-quality flashlights for individuals and industries, unveils a new series of headlamps suitable for running, sports, and outdoor activities, featuring adjustable illumination ranging from 250 to 1200 lumens. These headlamps combine minimalist design, modern aesthetics, and uncompromising performance.
The new headlamps from the NEO series represent the next generation of headlamps. They integrate minimalist and compact designs, tailored especially for running but also suitable for various sports activities, camping, and outdoor enthusiasts. Proper weight distribution between the lamp head and battery ensures perfect balance on the user's head and maximum comfort during use. With 360-degree visibility thanks to reflective straps and a red rear light, which can also be set to signaling mode, these headlamps provide reassurance and safety for users in urban and wilderness environments. The headlamps in the series feature a perfect beam shape for intensive activities and precise lighting for both short and long ranges. Three of the series' headlamps feature rechargeable lithium-ion batteries via a magnetic charging system, while the 3NEO model operates on three AAA batteries (included in the package). Additionally, all headlamps feature battery status indicators on LED displays.
So, what did we think?
See, automatically everything you put on your forehead gives you a geeky look, and that's also the case here, but there are situations where appearance is slightly less important. This headlamp is highly efficient, extremely powerful, and with the comfort and efficiency that Germans excel in. Comfort-wise, it's relatively unobtrusive, making it very easy to maneuver with. Recommended for hikers and athletes, less so for first dates.
The headlamps come in four lighting modes, up to 250 lumens (R1NEO), up to 400 lumens (3NEO), up to 600 lumens (R5NEO), and up to 1200 lumens (R9NEO). Price range: NIS 169-499. Available at selected outdoor retailers and online.
