Description
This is Energizer's Mini Sporting Rechargeable Headlamp, a compact lamp head on an adjustable elasticated strap. The pack states 200 lumens, a beam reaching 60 metres and up to 2 hours of light from a full charge. Power comes from a lithium ion battery inside the lamp head, and a charging cable is supplied with it, so there are no loose cells to buy, fit or lose. The body is blue and silver, the strap blue, and the whole unit is light enough to wear for an hour without thinking about it.
Two hours at 200 lumens covers an evening run, a dog walk after work or a ride home in the dark, and 60 metres of reach lets you read the surface of a path well before you get to it. Hands free light earns its keep indoors too. A head torch is the right tool for the back of a loft, the cupboard under the stairs, the gap behind a boiler or a car bonnet at the roadside, because the beam follows your eyes and both hands stay on the work. The strap adjusts, so it will go over a woolly hat or a hood in winter.
Charging is by cable rather than by battery swap: run the supplied lead from a USB socket, a laptop or a power bank and the lamp is ready again, which suits anyone who keeps a torch in a rucksack rather than a drawer of spare cells. Energizer prints no water resistance rating on this pack, so none is stated here. Each listing is one headlamp with its lithium ion battery and charging cable, and the minimum order is 4, sold in multiples of 4. It sits alongside our other Energizer head torches, which run from 130 to 750 lumens, and Energizer camping lanterns.

Frequently Asked
How long will it run on a full charge?
The pack states up to 2 hours at the full 200 lumen output, which covers most evening runs, dog walks and short jobs outdoors.
Do I need to buy batteries for it?
No. A rechargeable lithium ion battery sits inside the lamp head and a charging cable comes in the pack, so nothing else is needed.
How far does the beam reach?
The pack quotes 60 metres, far enough to pick out a gate, a kerb or a change in the path surface well ahead of you.
Is a water resistance rating printed on the pack?
No IP or water resistance figure is stated by the manufacturer, so we make no claim about how it copes with rain or splashing.
Will the strap fit over a hat or a hood?
Yes. The elasticated strap adjusts, so it can be let out to sit over a woolly hat, a cap or a raised hood in cold weather.
