Victoper Wesho Headlamp – 6000 Lumens
‘Smart use of LEDs, great brightness control.’A close relative of the original Pathfinder, the Victoper features 21 individual LED lights to allow you to control the brightness of the headlamp. Compact and powerful, the Victoper is a versatile all-rounder that’s good for use as a reading light, and for hiking.
Build quality and fit
Like the original Victoper Headlamp, the 21 fits nicely over a helmet, or straight onto your head. It’s more versatile than the original Pathfinder Headlamp as it can be dimmed significantly for use as a reading light, although it’s not really suited for extreme climbing.
Materials
Made from quality plastic and elasticated fabric.
Features
The 21-LED system is controlled with a single button the side of the Victoper Headlamp. There are four settings: Power saver (1 LED), Bright (8 LED), Ultra-bright (21 LED) and strobe (21 LED flashing.) The head does move up and down, but it’s a pretty simple affair otherwise.
