Description
This green kids' head torch from the Nature Trail range puts light exactly where a child is looking, leaving both hands free for play. A plastic housing in a leafy green holds three LEDs behind a faceted clear lens: a round spotlight in the centre with a smaller light either side, together giving super bright illumination. The lamp sits on a soft, elasticated head strap in black and grey, woven with the words LED headlight, which fits most heads. The torch is compact, 6.4cm wide, 4.6cm high and 3.4cm long, and weighs just 33g, so it sits lightly on a small forehead.
It is a lovely choice for children who love bugs, beetles and the natural world, and for any child who likes to read under the covers after lights out. Indoors it comes into its own in a blanket den, a pretend tent in the playroom, a dark cupboard or the gap under the bed where lost toys hide. Because the lamp tilts by up to 60 degrees, the beam can be angled down towards the floor or a page rather than straight ahead, which makes peering into a dark corner or following a story much easier. It is best kept to dry rooms indoors, where it is ready for bedtime stories and rainy afternoon games.
The torch runs on three AAA batteries, which are not included, so it is worth having a set ready before it is unwrapped. The housing is plastic with metal parts and the LEDs sit behind a clear lens, while the elastic strap has a slide buckle for taking up any slack. To keep it looking its best, wipe the housing and lens with a soft dry cloth. For a gift, wrap it with a field guide to minibeasts or a nature notebook and you have a ready-made explorer's kit for a curious young naturalist to enjoy at home.
