Collection: Headlamps

For hiking, the ideal headlamp weighs under 100g, offers at least 300 lumens on high, and delivers 6 or more hours of runtime on medium brightness. USB-C rechargeability is preferred for multi-day trips where you can top up from a power bank. A red light mode is also useful for preserving night vision around camp.

HOKOLITE offers headlamps specifically designed to attach to standard hard hats and safety helmets using clip or strap systems compatible with most hard hat brim styles. Check the product description on each listing to confirm compatibility with your specific helmet type before purchasing.

For camp tasks and casual trail walking, 100 to 300 lumens is sufficient. For trail running in the dark, 400 to 800 lumens provides better visibility. For job site work, cave exploration, or search and rescue applications, 1000 lumens and above is the recommended starting point.

All HOKOLITE headlamps carry IPX waterproof ratings suitable for outdoor use in rain. Most models are rated IPX4 or higher. For heavier rain or wet environments such as paddling or canyoneering, look for models with an IPX6 or IPX7 rating — the exact rating is listed on each individual product page.

A flood beam spreads light in a wide arc, making it ideal for close-range tasks such as setting up camp, cooking, or reading inside a tent. A spot beam projects a focused, high-intensity beam over a longer distance, useful for trail running, technical climbing, or scanning terrain ahead. Many HOKOLITE headlamp models include both beam types in a single unit, allowing you to switch based on the situation.
