So what to look for? Well, inevitable budget consideration aside, you’ll be wanting something that is lightweight, ideally waterproof and that maintains its beam power for as long as possible, even in the cold. So there are many more uses for that humble head torch than simply finding your way back to your tent at night, exploring cave systems, or even digging through boxes in the attic.
On top of the above, some head torches are also useful for astronomers, thanks to their specialist red light setting. The beauty is that strapping it to your head enables you to remain usefully ‘hands free’ for whatever you’re doing. A head torch can also be a great help for looking the innards of your DSLR or mirrorless camera, if you’re confident enough to attempt to clean its sensor yourself. Useful for any type of nighttime photography and indeed painting with light, it’s also an ideal tool for helping navigate your way home through the countryside after a golden hour landscape shoot. Although not specifically aimed at photographers, a head torch – also commonly referred to as a ‘head light’ or ‘head lamp’ – is one of the handiest bits of kit you can stash in your gadget bag.
