As a general rule, lower lumens of around 10 to 60 lumens best serve close-up tasks. The lumen range is ideal for activities such as pitching your tent and reading. Mid-range brightness levels of about 100 to 150 lumens best serve moderate activities such as local trail runs. We charged up each head torch fully then switched them onto their brightest settings to time how long they lasted before they either ran out of battery entirely, or had significantly reduced brightness. We used fresh batteries for non-rechargeable head torches.
