3 Things to Keep in Mind Before Purchasing a Work Headlamp

-

 If you are an industrial worker chances are that you already own a headlamp. Many popular brands sell high-quality climbing headlamps such as Petzl, Flipco, Vitchelo, and others. The key to finding the perfect headlamp is knowing what features are important to you.


Before you plan on buying a working headlamp there are some things you should know. Here is an overview of some of the things you wish to take into account when you are choosing the best Petzl headlamps;

  1. Brightness

The brightness level of the work headlamp is measured in lumens. How much brightness you require depends on the kind of work you do regularly. Another thing does not forget to check how many bulbs your headlamp has, it affects the working efficiency of the headlamp to a great extent. As the brighter the headlamp, the more battery it would drain.

  1. Battery Life

This is one of the main features you should look out for. The amount of time you will work without charging your battery matters a lot. If you do work that requires long straight hours then you need a battery that does not drain fast. Battery life will also vary on the fact whether you have set it in a high or low setting. You must observe the time your headlamp takes time to charge again.

  1. Comfort

Since this is a product that you will be wearing on your head for long hours, it needs to be as comfortable as possible. Check to see if the stripe is adjustable or not. Inspect the quality of the headband, see if the material is of good quality or not. A lightweight headband is going to feel much better than a heavy one, make sure you check the weight of it also.
