It can be rather tricky at times to work while also carrying a torch. Youâd have to fumble about with whatever youâre working on in one hand. Then, needing to keep the torch steady with the other. Thus, a headlamp is a neat solution, freeing up an entire hand to do stuff with. As is the case here, Energizerâs Hardcase Pro headlamp would no doubt be a handy bit of kit to have.
Being a torch, it performs well at the most important part â illumination. The Hardcase Pro is very bright, with two different types of beams to switch from, a âfloodâ and âspotâ light. One is a wide-angle beam that spreads light across a large area to brighten up whatâs around you. The other is a narrow-angle directional beam thatâs focused on a single point of interest.
Bright And Comfortable
Configurability is top notch, too. You can have both the wide and focused beams turned on at the same time, or just one. At its maximum brightness settings, Energizerâs Hardcase Pro can illuminate up to 100 metres in front of you. And, with upwards of 325 lumens to play around with. Power is supplied by 3x AA batteries, which are (thankfully) included in the box.
Theyâre very comfy to have strapped onto your head, especially for longer working sessions. If youâre keen to work on cars, itâs nice to have its wide-angle illumination to light up all of the hard-to-reach spots. In addition, the Hardcase Pro is durable. It could survive a 7-metre drop and has IPX4 water resistance. No slip construction makes it easy to put on and stay in place, as well.
