New Direction Tackle H10
Main features
The second head torch on our list might not be the brightest one, but it comes with a bunch of other handy features that secured it a high ranking. New Direction Tackle H10 has a light intensity of up to 200 lumens, which is sufficient in many outdoor situations like camping or fishing. The more impressive features of the H10 are the light color options. It has options of regular white light to be used as a torch, red light to keep natural night vision, and UV light to act as a blacklight. The package also includes a cover for the lamp, which spreads the light and transforms the head torch into a small bivvy light. On top of that, the frame of the device has magnetic details and can be easily attached to metal surfaces. H10 is a really versatile head torch!
Design and Use
New Direction Tackle H10 is a small, lightweight head torch supported by a stretchy adjustable headband. It has two control buttons, one for turning the head torch on and off and another for switching the modes. Another convenient part of the design is that you can adjust the angle, giving you more control over where the light is shining. On top of that, you can control the beam to make it wider or more focused. H10 is also rechargeable, so you can save on replaceable batteries and charge your head torch on the go. However, the design has a minor disadvantage, as it’s rated only IPX5 waterproof. This means you should be careful around water, as some splashes probably won’t do much damage, but submerging it might cause the device to break.
🔦 Value
New Direction Tackle H10 might not be the brightest head torch on this list as it has only 200 lumens. But the amount of other handy features and its friendly price outweighed this minor disadvantage. 200 lumens suffice in many outdoor activities, so if you’re not planning to go caving or mountain biking at night, and your preferences are more light options (like red, UV, or bivvy lights) instead of brightness, H10 could be an excellent choice.
