Ledlenser NEO10R - Rechargeable Outdoor LED Head Torch, Super Bright 600 Lumens Headlamp, Adjustable Focus, Fishing Head Torch, Running Headlight, Hiking Equipment, Up To 120 Hours Charge (Black/Grey)

Product Information

I would also like to see a red-light option on the headlamp for night vision and not blind your friends. I like to run with the beam width at extra wide, but use the focused beam to identify any nondescript moving objects. The fit and feel of the rear battery on the 6R is comfortable and, unlike other headlamps where the lamp and battery are on the forehead, I appreciate the weight distribution to the back.

The Ledlenser has one button for all three light modes, which is super easy to use one-handed and feels intuitive. I do wish that the micro USB charge port was more easily accessible instead of having to remove the rubber backing, which as John says, would be easy to lose and is a little fuzty. Moreover, since I’m usually running early in the morning on both road and trails, l like freeing up my head for a lighter, more comfortable, headlamp (like the 6R) so that I can be seen and see in all conditions.

Equipped with a sports profile, rotating head and three lighting levels (Power, Low Power and Mid Power), it is extremely versatile. Whether you are going cross-country, uphill or downhill, the NEO10R is the perfect guide for trails and ultra runs. Many have tried to emulate this standout technology which is featured in most of our torches and headlamps, and many have failed. The MH10 came with the torch, a rechargeable battery, red and green filters, a charging USB cable and instructions. Led Lenser Neo 10R rechargeable headlamp is designed for trail running and numerous other outdoor activities.

I like the fact that there is still an hour left of light in the torch when you get the first low battery warning. This head torch offers an impressive 10 hour running time on its power setting, making it ideal for long runs in the great outdoors. A fall on ice on Christmas Day morning enforced a need to take four weeks off from cycling, kayaking, or sailing—due to a broken elbow.

We believe Ledlenser lumens are in most cases superior because they combine with our world-renowned precision German engineering and patented Advanced Focusing Optics to optimise the light delivered. However, according to the manual Mode 1 is 600 lumens, mode 2 = 250 lumens and then mode 3 = 10 lumens.

The 6R puts off a light swath that seems even more bright than the mere 40 lumen difference would suggest and the battery life of the 6R is far superior. While only 240 lumens, the projection of light is plenty adequate for small doses of technical trail running, however I find it more suitable for less technical paths, urban running or hiking where you may want lighter weight and longer battery life.

It is certainly less bright, but still offers a spread out warm hue that allows you to see objects in the 20-50 foot range fairly well. I had to twist the face of the lamp fairly hard to discover there is beam width and focus adjustments. If no setting is explicitly named, the values for luminous flux (lumen/lm) and luminous range (metres/m) refer to the brightest setting and the values for luminous duration (hours/h) to the lowest setting.

Ventilation is plentiful too, thanks to the back vent and vent grommets; whilst perspiration is kept from dripping into your eyes by the soft wicking sweatband. The NEO10R performed superbly on the Challenge The Wight event, just as other Ledlenser products that I have tested have done so in the past. The battery case is removable when necessary and it features a red, blinking rear light to ensure you’re seen in the dark. I really appreciate that the Ledlenser 10R provides a warmer glow that brings out trail definition better. The max setting is amazingly bright but you can only have it on for couple of minutes, then it automaticly dimms itself down to the 90% setting, to save the battery.I had never heard of LedLenser prior to being offered to review and while naturally skeptical at first, I walked away a fan. The three lighting levels consist of a first level of maximum power (Power), a second ideal intermediate level in any situation (Mid Power) and a third level excellent for reading and working moments (Low Power).
