Energizer 316897 Vision HD+ Headlamp 250 Lumens IPX4

With a 250-lumen maximum output and a 50-meter beam, this headlamp cuts through darkness for trail runs, campsite chores, or power outages. Three LEDs—two white, one red—give you spot, flood, full, and red night-vision modes, all from a lightweight, adjustable headband that pivots up to 90 degrees.

Overview
