STORM 400 HEADLAMP

Product Information

Like the BioLite 330, the 800 has a four-point tilt. We found this tilt useful for angling the headlamp, but some media reviewers found it a fault. Avoid touching the lens with your fingers, as oils and residues from your skin can affect light output and clarity. With long-lasting batteries or the option to use rechargeable ones, a headlamp means that you don't have to just be out for a few hours or a day—you'll have a reliable source of light for extended outdoor adventures, including multi-day hikes, or camping trips. Emergency preparedness

Adjust the brightness level of your headlamp to match the situation. For tasks that require more precision, use a higher brightness setting. When navigating open trails or paths, use a lower setting to conserve battery and avoid blinding others. Respect no-light zones The Tikkina has 2 hours of battery life at max power (250 lumens), 9 hours of battery life at standard power (100 lumens), and 120 hours of battery life at low power (6 lumens). This is less than most of the other headlamps we considered, which is to be expected given the budget cost of the Tikkina. Still, it’s competitive with other headlamps in this price range and is good enough for casual use.

Best Applications

If you are looking for cheaper headlamps, you have so many options. If you want the brightest one, then be prepared to pay a little more money for something else. If you want something even more comfortable than this, then there are alternatives. And finally, if you prefer a rechargeable headlamp, this one isn’t for you.

You get the same two-button setup as the Storm, with identical features and functionality. I'm coming round to that PowerTap thing, but I do think small torches are best as simple as possible, and as such I would definitely prefer three distinct output modes rather than endlessly scrolling through the dimmer function. And I've no use whatsoever for dim coloured 'night vision' LEDs. In today’s market, many headlamps feature extra low-lumen modes to maximize battery life. The Storm 400 is no exception. At the minimum of 8 lumens, battery life is claimed to be 150 hours. This puts it as well above average for comparably-priced headlamps.
