Ledlenser H5R Core
Main features
Coming third on this list is a head torch by Ledlenser. Their H5R Core model offers affordable convenience for outdoor adventures. With 500 lumens, this head torch is bright and can illuminate as far as 200 meters. This is really useful and gives extra safety in the wilderness, for example, when walking through forest trails. It is also equipped with cooling technology and temperature control, ensuring the lamp won’t heat up too much. As for lighting modes, H5R Core offers only one—a white light beam that can be dimmed, and a focus system allows to change from flood to spot lighting.
Design and Use
H5R Core is a small, lightweight device that comes with a comfortable, washable elastic headband. The main issue with its design is that the torch doesn’t have a battery, so the power block is placed on the back of the band and connected to the main device at the front with a wire. On the upside, the battery is rechargeable with a magnetic charge system. This allows the device to be completely waterproof at an IP67 rating. Another bonus of the H5R Core is that the torch can be tilted at a 160-degree angle, which gives pretty good adjustability and control of the beam direction.
🔦 Value
Even though Ledlenser H5R Core has some impressive features, like the waterproof rating, high lumen count, and long beam distance, the lack of light modes and wired design prevented it from ranking higher on the list. That’s why it got placed right in the middle—it is affordable, of good quality, and has some useful features but could be more versatile. However, if you are a person with specific needs from a head torch and H5R meets them, you shouldn’t hesitate to check this device out!
