I am looking for a headlamp to go camping - something that will let me see my feet and the path ahead of me for a bit. Will 35 lumens do the trick?

I'm a postman. I use mine for reading the mail at arm's length as I put it into a cluster box. Anything further than that, and you're going to want more lumens. This lamp would be OK inside a tent. But outside . . . One of my fellow carriers has one of these. I'll probably get one this fall once the days get shorter. ExtremeBeam's OSR-800 headlamp is one of the brightest and farthest-reaching headlamp on the market. Using a 4-mode 180-lumen LED and fully telescoping lens, this powerful headlamp can shine light to distances of 550 feet when used on high. But when a blinding far-reaching light isn't necessary the OSR-800 can be switched to a less powerful Hike Mode, in which battery life can last an astonishing 24 hours.

i am not into camping but this headlamp is very bright and well built for the money. i use it to read at night when i dont want the room light on. it's great for finding that thing that fell behind a couch, under a wall unit or in the lawn at night. imho, i think that in a situation that is pitch black it will be more than enuf.

The Phillips website states the 9005 CrystalVision has a color temp of 4300k and lumens 1400 +/-15%. I have the 9003 CrystalVision and can tell you there is absolutely no issues seeing the entire road, trees, signs, etc light up with the brights on. Keep in mind that if you have a dull reflector in your headlamp, it doesn't matter how many lumens the bulb is, you won't be able to see as good and the light will seem dim. New headlamps would then be a must. Also, make sure to adjust headlight aim. My beams were crossed and made a HUGE difference once properly adjusted.

I don't know about the Cree but if # of lumens means anything, I would assume the Cree would be better. I am very satisfied with my Cygolite.

Yes. These lights are every bit worth the money. They are 180 lumens and VERY bright!! I bought 2!!!

I don't know about the lumens. This light is plenty bright enough for what I do with it. The high setting lets me see what I want to see up to 30 or 40 ft away. I also can't say to much about the battery life. I use mine for an hr or so each morning but only turn it on when I need it. That would be 5 to 10 min at a time. I am satisfied with the battery life. All I can really say is that the light does what I want it to do and I am happy with it. Hope this helps???

Wish I could answer but don't really know. I live in eastern hardwood area with woods close in everywhere. Walking on road is best ex. and it reaches way out, literally opens up the night with a broad beam like some great big Wheat ,sp.?, light use to do in coon hunting. Can best say that I'm well pleased so far. Drawback is that the highest lumens are only sustained for the first several uses and then the batteries can't put out that full power...but still put out an excellent level.

Very bright! 300 lumens is very bright for a flashlight. If in a dim setting it will take minutes to regain your full sight. I have some surefire brand flashlights mounted on other platforms and this one is just as good if not better.

This is my same question. I have some insanely bumpy trails by me and I ride at night so i need a light that lasts.

I don't know how many lumens. It would be bright enough for you to move around and probably see to eat, but not to read.

helloFor my night road tryning on the road bike is very useful, I do in Mexico than the road are very dangerous than the US, the wide headlight efective ahead is around 120° to 150° , maybe is the only weak point i detected for this item, but is a very powerfull light for only 360 lumens

be on the sure side and get a power supply with 5amps of current to use for this since there are 30 LEDs(still can hookup 4 camerasw/adapter) and you still wont be able to see 90 feet in total darkness unless you have street lights which I don't have but I do have flood lights with 240 degree sensors to detect motion and they come on an camera picture is much better and you see farther in the darkness..

A 300 watt LED is quite powerful. It's more than enough for a 2x4 tent IMO. Go for it!

depends on how you aim them. mine light up the road about 100-150 feet ahead.

Probably not, it would output about 20 lumens which is just enough to light the path but I don't think it would be bright enough to startle anyone. I'm not sure if it's waterproof either so you would have to have it somewhere sheltered from the elements. For something like a flood light you would want to look at the Mr Beams MB390 Weatherproof Motion Sensor light which outputs 300 lumens and is very bright.

Pretty vague question. Dissapointed that I even got an email notification about this, furthermore that I am even taking time to answer it. But I'd say if you were just trying to get into 'crannies' then a regular hand held flashlight would work. If you are getting into 'nooks' also, then this headlamp is a must. Will take you to the next level. Maybe buy 3. And attach them to the same belt and point towards the sides. For good panoramic exploration.

The website says that the light output is 7 lux ambient / 30 lux taslight. I don't know what that actually means, but it is really bright. I had no problem traipsing around the campsite with mine.

Personally, I wouldnt be looking at the cheapest light on Amazon if I wanted specs that are associated with more expensive lights. But thats just me lol! This is a very good, basic headlamp-especially for what it costs. Dont expect that its gonna be a diving light or blind deer at night(well, I dunno...maybe it would blind deer? Never tried it).
