Ultra Compact 4 LED Headlamp with retractable cord, three lighting modes (two continuous and one strobe).
The ultra-compact ZIPKA² headlamp is equipped with the ZIP retractable cord system. This feature allows the headlamp to be worn on the head or wrist, or attached to any other support, like a tent pole, etc.
This headlamp is extremely versatile, thanks to its three lighting levels (maximum, economic and strobe), which are accessed with a simple electronic push-button switch. In maximum mode, the four LEDs deliver 40 lumens of light and provide enough light to see over a distance of 29 metres.
In economic mode, the lifetime of the batteries can be extended to up to 120hrs for a long burn-time. The battery compartment is now hinged for easier access along with an easier to use closure system.
Our Verdict
A good basic light with a high light output level of 40 lumens, the Zip line format not only makes it lighter but more flexible also - useful if you are using it as a main light when camping.
