Rechargeable COB Headlamp

Hands-free light is essential when you're climbing rubble, cutting branches, or reading a map in darkness. USB-rechargeable beats battery-powered headlamps that die in the field.

When it matters

• Disaster zone navigation: collapsed buildings, debris fields, overturned vehicles. Hands-free light means both hands free for climbing, moving obstacles, or helping others.
• Night-time evacuation hiking: trail reading, obstacle avoidance, hand-free for balance on uneven terrain.
• Extended shelter operations: reading maps, eating, security sweeps after dark. COB (chip-on-board) LED provides wide flood beam instead of focused spot—better for close work.
• Team coordination: multiple headlamps ensure everyone has light; if one fails, the group continues. Recharge together during shelter-in-place.

What it does

• COB LED flood beam (not a focused spot) illuminates wide area close-range—ideal for reading, cooking, and near-field work.
• USB-rechargeable: plug into solar panel, power bank, or any USB source. No battery inventory.
• Hands-free headband design: light moves with your head, follows your eyes.
• Waterproof rating (typical IPX4–IPX5): survives rain and accidental water spray; not submersible.
• Non-obvious: minimal light pollution. COB flood is bright enough for close work but doesn't throw light 200 meters away like a tactical flashlight—useful for operations where distant visibility would alert adversaries.

Built to last

Headband can fatigue and crack if bent repeatedly; inspect strap before deployment. Waterproof seals can fail if the light is submerged or if kept in high humidity—store dry. USB connector is a weak point; avoid sharp bending of the charging cable.

Where it fits your kit

Get-Home Bag layer. Pairs with Rechargeable Hanging Camp Light for shelter illumination (headlamp for hands-free movement, camp light for stationary shelter) and 10W Folding Solar Charger for power (solar panel charges both lamps). Together they cover mobile lighting, base-camp lighting, and charging redundancy.

Specs

• LED type: COB (chip-on-board) flood beam
• Charging: USB micro or USB-C (confirm your variant)
• Weight: 9 grams (lamp only, headband adds additional weight)
• Color: Black (common), Red/other colors available in multi-pack variants
• Waterproof rating: IPX4–IPX5 (splash/rain resistant, not submersible)
• Available configurations: Single, 2-pack, 3-pack, 4-pack, 5-pack headlamps
• Brightness: Typical 100–200+ lumens (varies by model; check specs)

Field notes

• Use red-light mode if available: red light preserves night vision better than white light for navigation or security sweeps. Saves battery power too.
• Inspect the charging cable weekly during extended deployment. A cracked cable won't charge, and you can't repair it in the field.

FAQ

Q: How long does a charge last? Test before deployment.

Q: What's the difference between COB and traditional LED headlamps? A: COB is a chip-on-board design with multiple LED diodes very close together, creating a wide flood. Traditional LED headlamps have one or two larger diodes and throw focused beams far. COB is better for close work (cooking, reading, climbing); traditional LED is better for distance (security scanning).

Q: Can I use this underwater? A: Not reliably. IPX4–IPX5 rating means splash-resistant, not waterproof for submersion. Water can seep into the connector over time.
