Whether you're hiking before dawn, working under a bonnet, or setting up camp in the dark, this USB-C rechargeable headlamp delivers dependable brightness exactly where you need it.

Overview

The X-Head combines a high-efficiency CREE XPG3 LED with a built-in 1200mAh lithium-polymer battery, offering an impressive battery life of up to 20 hours at the lowest setting. Its three white light levels (high, medium, low) let you adapt the beam to the task, while a dedicated red light mode preserves night vision and a strobe function provides extra safety.
