Description
This is a rechargeable LED head torch from the Energizer Industrial line, and the pack puts its numbers on the front: 400 lumens, a beam reaching 80 metres, four hours of runtime and seven light modes. The band holds the lamp housing across your forehead so both hands stay free, which is the whole reason to pick a head torch over one you have to hold. Output is dimmable from 10 per cent to 100 per cent, so close work in a confined space does not mean full power in your own eyes.
Seven modes and a dimmable beam make this a working light rather than a camping extra. We would keep it with the tools: under a car bonnet, in a loft with no lighting of its own, in a meter cupboard, or on a dog walk down an unlit lane. The pack carries an IPX4 rating, which means the housing is built to shrug off splashes and rain rather than immersion, so a wet night outdoors is fine and a drop into a bucket is not. Four hours at full output covers most jobs before a recharge is due, and running below full output is the usual way to make a charge go further.
Charging is by the cable supplied in the box, so there is nothing else to buy before the first use. The pack lists the contents as one light and one charging cable, with no separate cells to source. Worth knowing before you order: this line is sold in multiples of four, so the smallest order is four torches, which suits a van, a workshop, or a house that wants one by the back door and one in the car. The manufacturer does not print a colour temperature or a charge time on the pack, so we make no claim on either, and the seven modes are not individually named there.

Frequently Asked
How bright is 400 lumens for a head torch?
The pack prints 400 lumens with a beam reaching 80 metres, which is enough to light a garden path end to end or fill a loft space rather than just the patch in front of your boots.
How long will it run on one charge?
The pack states four hours. Running the light at a lower dimmer setting rather than at full output is the usual way to make a single charge go further.
Can I use it in the rain?
Yes. The pack carries an IPX4 rating, which covers splashing water from any direction. It is not rated for immersion, so do not submerge it or leave it lying in standing water.
What is in the box, and do I need to buy anything else?
One head torch and one charging cable, as printed on the pack. The torch is rechargeable, so there are no separate cells to buy before you start using it.
Why is the minimum order four?
This line comes to us in multiples of four, so orders go up in fours. It is a sensible number for a van, a workshop, or one torch by each door at home.
What colour is the light?
The mode icons on the pack show red and green as well as white, but no kelvin figure is printed anywhere on it, so we cannot quote a colour temperature for the main beam.
