From the perspective of a runner

Because I wanted to increase my running training, I needed a lamp for the respective evening runs. Essentially my assessment came to the models of LED Lenser Petzl and questioned. As I previously took no headlamp for running, I oriented myself to the first light intensity ratio to price. Here, the models LED Lenser Petzl Nao H14R.2 and emerged - with 800 (H14) and 550 lumens (Nao). This was followed by direct-reviewed here H7R.2 with 250 lumens.

Based on the prices I ordered the H7R.2 and kept me right to exchange these for a test, if necessary against one of the two larger ones.

Review in detail:

+ The lamp's light enough to remain fixed to the "simple" band on his head, and on the trail she kept well
+ There were no headaches that large contact surfaces are great
+ The cone of light in Nahmodus is perfect
+ The brightness is sufficient for running / jogging out definitively
+ The battery is good - I was running with a load three times each 70 minutes - is always well lit
+ Pleasant is the dimming function, see my explanation below
- In remote mode of the light cone is unequally distributed, not nice!
- It is not clear when worn, whether the backlight is on (even in front of a mirror)
- The focusing ring is hard to spin out of the rest position

And crucially: It fell to the same that was lit very brightly in the luminosity of the ground directly in front of the feet and thus the eye captured the remote area difficult. Better it was when the light cone is adjusted so that the ground was lit up until two or three meters in front of his feet. Alternatively, can be dimmed. At this point, the decision to keep the lamp fell! The effect is obviously stronger with increasing luminosity. Please take into account that - more power does not mean to automatically see more !!

Conclusion:

For runs in the dark, the lamp is very good and offers plenty of light for the money. The comfort is good, especially the lamp is not too heavy (about 170 g). And I agree with the statement of many reviews, I actually prefer to run in the dark when I have the opportunity to choose!
