How AUTO BILD and BIKE BILD tested it
Screwdrivers and breakdown helpers want handy, lightweight headlamps. Accordingly, we only included small models in the test and also rated the weight. 40 grams gave ten points, 140 grams five points. Another important aspect is wearing comfort. Here, for example, there was a deduction if the lamp pressed lightly, sat a little unstable on the head when moving or if it blinded us while we were being carried. Of course, the brightness was also rated – and at the highest permanent level. Above all, it is important how broad, bright and far it can shine. In terms of runtime, we tested how long the lamps can last at room temperature at room temperature. Three hours gave ten points, one hour six points. However, it is not only the running times of the high levels that are important, but also those of the low levels. If the lowest usable level lasts less than 20 hours, two points were deducted. The evaluation point functionality summarizes some criteria. Two points were deducted if the lamp was not waterproof. Another point was deducted for a missing bright or a missing weak brightness level. If the inclination of the lamps cannot be continuously adjusted, we have again deducted a point. A missing USB charging socket meant two points minus. On the other hand, we also rewarded adjustable light cones using the slewing ring with a bonus point.
