The choice of motocross luminaires is a big problem. Functionality, price, weight, size, versatility and even appearance all affect your final decision. Everyone has their own different needs for the luminaires, not that the best performance or the best price or reputation is right for you. Similarly, for all aspects of evaluation and advertising should also be good at using their own brain analysis, we must start with the most basic needs, in a specific time, under a specific environment to select a specific lighting.



1. What are you going to do with it?


If you just want to go to the wild to run occasionally, do not walk the night, do not need to use it to search the route at night, but in some dark road lighting, in this case with the simplest LED lighting is sufficient, long lighting time, use the economy It is convenient and compact. A variety of ordinary small flashlight is also good, it is best to DIY headband.


If you need to participate in cross-country races that require overnight stays, such as VIBRAM Hong Kong's 100-kilometer race that needs to run at night, the use of LED headlamps is undoubtedly a disguised form of murder. You can't miss out on an incandescent light source lamp that has enough brightness, and it is waterproof and reliable. , More power saving, longer range is your priority to consider. Petzl and BD are the two most-selected brands. Similar to UTMF and UTMB this 168-km race takes two nights and generally requires two headlights. Backup is a must.


If you plan to make a long-distance multi-day trail race, you need both sufficient lighting time and the necessary lighting brightness. Dual-lamp fixtures are the best choice. Must have a small and lightweight waterproof, using voltage adjustment circuit, step-by-step adjustment of LED brightness function.


2. What environment to use


Ordinary outdoor environments do not require high specificity for lamps. However, under certain special circumstances, we must prescribe the right medicine. winter. Battery performance is greatly compromised at low temperatures. Unless you have enough power to back up enough spare batteries, it is best to have a dual-source headlamp with an external battery box in the winter or snowy mountain environment in the north. You must also pay attention to wearing thick gloves. Can operate the headlights. With high brightness, back-up power, relatively light weight and volume, voltage adjustment circuitry, and binning brightness control, these features must be available.


If it is used for outdoor rescue search, no doubt, brightness, range is the first place, it usually sacrifices weight and size, Maglite police lighting to ensure extremely high brightness, range and adequate use of time, strong aluminum alloy materials and Traditional reliable waterproof design is impeccable, the only trouble is a little bigger in size and weight. Surefire takes a compromise on the other hand, sacrificing the life of the bulb for brightness, sacrificing continuous use time for a compact size, you must prepare enough spare batteries and lamps, and be mentally prepared for the cost of lithium.


3. Choose only the most suitable


There is no lamp in the world that can cope with all outdoor activities. You must choose the right luminaire based on your own financial resources, personal preferences, activity purpose and environment. Considering the combination of them, try to bring the most possible of each event. Appropriate lighting, while avoiding repeated investment in performance.
