Headlight suggestion for dog sledding?

[teacher]

@MaleNurse

I’m now looking for a new headlight for her.

• -It will be used winter time, +5 to –15 degrees celcius.
• -Needs to be powerful, somewhere around the 900+ lumens mark.
• -Ideally it should have no stepdown timer.
• -Spill is the most important trait. She would prefer a little bit wider spill than the TIR version of Skilhunt h02 gives.
• -Runtime is also a factor. Which of course stands in contrast to the need of high lumens.

Preferably it should not have a separate, wired battery compartment, but that just might be necessary.

Any suggestions would be welcome.
Not sure about price range, but probably less than $150

@MaleNurse

Thanks. Thats very helpful information.

Another issue is the flood. As stated in the OP, my friend would like a light that is even a bit more floody than the Skilhunt H02. (I don’t actually know the angle on the Skilhunt).

Your welcome MaleNurse, my pleasure. :+1:

I did some checking around and as far as using LiIon re-chargables in cold temperatures, I checked several different brands and they are all pretty much like ‘EasyB’ said above. :+1:

Ambient Operating Temperatures

• Charge……… 10 ~ +45℃. (50 ~ 113F)
• Discharge…… –20 ~ +60℃. (–4 ~ 140F)
• Storage……… –20 ~ +50℃. (–4 ~ 122F)

As far as the beam angle of the SkillHunt H02, I don’t know either & could not find it listed anywhere.

The Nitecorte HC60 is 100 degree’s.

I have a Skillhunt H03F also and personally, I like the HC60 hands down better than the H03F. But, that is just my personal preference.

As I already said, if you go with the HC60, or anything else for that matter; be sure to contact M4D M4X and ask for a Code if you want to save money. You’ll be glad you did.
And I know he has some good codes for the Nitecores, Skillhunts, and more.

Good luck and keep us posted. :+1: …

Oh yeah, the HC60 comes with a 3400 mAh Nitecore 18650 battery also. :+1:
