[Thorough verification] A comparative review of headlights and flashlights! I actually compared the lighting

There are various types of lights such as headlights and flashlights, but many people may not know what to choose. This time, I actually turned on the headlights and flashlights I own and compared their brightness! If you are considering purchasing a light from now on, please refer to this article.

 

[Headlight] Convenient when climbing or working in a camp! I compared the brightness of the headlights

“Headlight” is an item that is useful for mountain climbing, camping, and disasters. This time, I will introduce three of the headlights I own by actually lighting them under the same conditions and comparing their brightness!

 

We will introduce the difference in the number of lumens and the irradiation distance in detail, so please choose the headlight according to your own use!

 

Black Diamond: “GIZMO” 2017 release

The first to introduce is the black diamond “GIZMO” released in 2017.

 

【spec】

■ Number of lumens: 4lm ~ 90lm

■ Irradiation distance: 10m to 30m

■ Lighting time: 30h-110h

 

The brightness and irradiation distance are not so good, but it is a headlight that is bright enough for work.

 

When you actually make it the brightest, it illuminates up to about 30m away, but it is not suitable for mountain climbing.

 

This headlight is recommended for people who want to brighten their hands when working, or who are looking for a sub-headlight, such as when walking on a dark road to the toilet at a campsite.

 

Black Diamond: “STORM” 2013 release

The next headlight is the black diamond “STORM” released in 2013.

 

【spec】

■ Number of lumens: 4lm ~ 110lm

■ Irradiation distance: 3m-70m

■ Lighting time: 50h-200h

 

When you actually illuminate it, you can see that it is a little brighter than the “GIZMO” I introduced earlier, and it is even illuminated to the back.

 

It is a headlight with specifications that can be recommended for those who are looking for a headlight that can be used mainly for mountain climbing, night fishing and camping.

Olight: “Perun 2”

【spec】

■ Maximum number of lumens: 2,500lm

■ Maximum irradiation distance: 166m

■ Lighting time: 177min ~ 12.5days

 

Although it is in the shape of a flashlight, it is a two-bird light with one stone that can also be used as a headlight by attaching it to the attached headband.

 

The brightness and maximum irradiation distance are also higher than those of “GIZMO” and “STORM”, and the difference is clear when you actually irradiate.

 

The higher the specs, the higher the price, but it is recommended for those who are looking for a light that can be used as a full-fledged flashlight & headlight.

[Pocket light edition] Also active in night road walks and disasters! I compared the brightness of the flashlights

From here, I will actually turn on the flashlight that I have as an EDC writer and compare it.

 

A flashlight is an item that is useful not only when walking on the road at night, but also during disasters such as power outages. You can rest assured that you have one in your family! If you don’t have a flashlight yet, please refer to it.

 

Olight: “i5T EOS”

If you are looking for a small flashlight, Olight’s “i5T EOS” is recommended.

 

【spec】

■ Maximum number of lumens: 300lm

■ Maximum irradiation distance: 60m

■ Lighting time: 150mi ~ 20h

 

It is an ultra-compact type flashlight with a length of about 10 cm, but it is clear if it illuminates the surroundings brightly! It is very convenient when you have to walk a little at night or when you want to illuminate a work place in a dark place such as in a car with a spot.

 

Rather than the main flashlight, it is recommended to always keep it in your bag as a sub flashlight!

 

GENTOS: “LX-114G”

The next introduction is “LX-114G” from GENTOS.

 

【spec】

■ Maximum number of lumens: 330lm

■ Maximum irradiation distance: 420m

■ Lighting time: 21h

 

With 330 lumens and an irradiation distance of 420 m, there are specifications that can be used with confidence not only when walking on the road at night, but also in the event of a power outage or disaster.

 

However, it is relatively large among flashlights, so you may get tired when you carry it around for a long time. It may be good when you carry it around for a short time or when you put it somewhere and use it.

 

Olight: “Marauder 2”

Among the flashlights, Olight’s “Marauder 2” is recommended for those who are looking for high specs.

 

【spec】

■ Maximum number of lumens: 14000lm

■ Irradiation distance: 800m

■ Lighting time: 190mi ~ 59h

 

It features a maximum number of lumens of 14000lm, which is an order of magnitude better. When you actually turn it on, you can see that the brightness is significantly different from the two introduced.

 

In addition, the spotlight mode (high beam) is attractive because it can irradiate far away with a maximum irradiation distance of 800 m.

 

In addition, it is equipped with a 30W mobile battery function, so it is possible to charge necessary equipment such as smartphones in an emergency. It is a high-spec model with a function that automatically reduces the amount of light when the temperature of the main body becomes high and an IPX8 waterproof function.

 

This flashlight is highly recommended for those who want a full-fledged flashlight that is useful in an emergency and that emphasizes specifications.

 

* Olite will hold a Christmas sale from 20:00 on December 13, 2020 to 24:00 on 17th December! All stores (excluding x9R) are 20-40% off, so take this chance to get it!

 

Choose the light that suits you best by referring to the comparative reviews! The light you choose will change depending on what kind of scene you use!

This time, I compared the headlights and flashlights that the author of the EDC writer actually has.

 

Brightness changes greatly depending on the number of lumens and irradiation distance, so please refer to this comparison article and choose a light!
