On the face of it, you might well think C-3PO was involved in this headlamp’s design and choice of name. The headlamp in question answers to “XEO19R” and, as you open the zip on the padded nylon pouch, you’re met by two powerful LEDs (X-LENS technology) with 2,000 lm that let you turn night into day for a maximum of four hours. Thanks to a clever heat sink, you can use the LEDs continually on full power and illuminate objects up to 300 m away.
Using the centrally positioned control switch, you can select either one or both of the LEDs respective of what you want to do. The beam can be narrowed or broadened by adjusting a lever.
BATTERY
The 5,200 mAh battery pack can provide up to 20 hours of light. It’s up to you to decide if you prefer to attach it directly to the lamp itself, or use the supplied extension cord and wear it on your belt.
The battery pack also has a socket so that you can even charge a cell phone.
ACCESSORIES
The accessories included in the set are comprehensive and cover a variety of uses: there’s a helmet and handlebar mount for mountain biking, a GoPro mount for filming, or you can simply use the headlamp fixed to the battery.
CONCLUSION
At a solid 480 g, this is not one of the lightest headlamps on the market, but it is comfortable to wear and the workmanship is first class. With winter looming, this headlamp is about to be used even more frequently on my upcoming tours.
