The Ledlenser H14R.2 Rechargeable Headlamp is an exceptional quality, high-powered option that offers impressive luminosity and runtime stats, as well as integrity and integrated features. Diehard hunters seeking a top-notch headlamp should absolutely give this option some consideration.
Featuring a downright blinding 1000 lumen max output and a 300-meter range, this headlamp will be an indisposable tool for hunters who need to brightly illuminate their surroundings. It’s tough to find lighting more powerful than this, and Ledlenser has integrated this light into an exceptionally low profile and streamlined housing, providing the best of both worlds. It’s certainly not as low drag and minimally designed as some other options, but it provides up to five or six times the strength of “normal” powered headlamps.
The dimmable light settings allows for seamless adjustment of the luminosity, so you can find just the right lighting level for your needs. Let’s be honest, 1000 lumens is waaaay more than you’ll likely need 99% of the time you’re in the field, so it’s nice having the ability to adjust the lighting level. Boost and blinking modes are also integrated.
Featuring 6 hours of runtime on the highest setting (1000 lumens), and 35 on the lowest (60 lumens), this is an exceptionally long-lived light when it comes to run time. There is furthermore a battery and charging indicator light, as well as a low battery warning so you can keep close track of where your charge is at. Ledlenser has even included a transportation lock to prevent the light from being turned on inadvertently, effectively eliminating those frustrating hunting trips when you show up with an already dead light!
a red back light is built in so you can be easily seen from behind – a simple but underrated feature in our opinion that will come in handy when hunting in a group through more difficult terrain. The multi-function switch is furthermore designed for quick and easy control of individual light functions, making this one of the most user-friendly headlamps on the market for all sorts of applications.
Unfortunately, there is no red light or colored light modes included with this model for maintaining night vision, so those seeking something with red light capabilities will want to look elsewhere – perhaps the Ledlenser MH8 Lightweight Rechargeable Headlamp is a good place to start if you otherwise like the design and functionality of this model.
IPX4 rated for weather resistance and durably built to handle abuse in the field, the H14R.2 is a trusty hunting companion that can brightly illuminate vast swaths of the landscape for any hunting scenario calling for long-lived, expansive and extensive illumination.
