THE BEST COMFORT HEADLIGHT: THE 2-IN-1 HEADLIGHT
1300 Lumens 230° Wide Beam COB&LED Rechargeable Headlamp With Motion Sensor Headlight
Here at Hokolite, we love all things rechargeable, and for good reason! In addition to being better for the environment, rechargeable batteries ensure that you’re spending far less money and extra time on weaker throw-away power sources. That’s why we strongly believe that you should upgrade all of your AAA headlights to this incredible two-in-one rechargeable headlight. Rechargeable design, no need to buy batteries repeatedly, and convenient and speedy charging? What’s not to love!
This wide beam motion-sensor headlight is different from other traditional headlights on the market, given that it has both LED and COB lighting. The brightness of the LED headlights can reach a satisfactory 1300 lumens, while the COB lighting angle can reach a whopping 230-degrees, and the headlights have added high brightness and an extra wide range. In addition, the 90-degrees can be rotated to adjust the lighting angle, and the LED headlights can be retracted to realize the focusing function.
This headlamp comes with six different light modes to meet various lighting needs during camping or exploring outdoors. For example, if you need to get up to grab a snack or go to the bathroom in the dark, you can input the low light mode to protect your eyes from the harsh glare. And with added motion sensor design, you can flexibly control the light just by simply waving your hand in front of the beam, freeing your hands up to conduct extra tasks.
The headlight flashlight is made of a flexible silicone material, which is non-slip and not easy to fall off, and can be easily folded to your desired angle. The headlight itself is only 6.6 ounces, and the adjustable headband ensures you won’t experience any discomfort or headaches due to the weight and tightness of the flashlight.
If you desire a hands-free and extremely versatile flashlight while out camping and exploring nature, then this two-in-one headlamp is most definitely the one for you.
