Wolf Outdoors HL-1300 Headlight

With two advanced OSRAM P9 LEDs delivering an impressive 1300 lumens of light output, Wolf Outdoors’ HL-1300 Headlight takes your night time outdoor adventures to the next level. Whether you’re walking, cycling, setting up camp or simply walking the dog, the HL-1300 lights up even the darkest corners at impressive distances.

There are many things to like about the HL-1300, as well as the amount of light it omits, it features an aluminium reflector that enhances light dispersion, and an aluminium, ABS, and TPR base that guarantees durability.  Also, being cylindrical, it fits nicely under a coat hood.

With a single rubberised button on the side it’s easy to use, a single press offers high, medium or low settings, while a quick double press activates the strobe mode.

Once the 16650 lithium battery runs out of juice, approx 4–5 hours, there’s no need to start rummaging around for spare batteries as it boasts a high-power Type-C USB port for seamless recharging, simply recharge and go.  It does take up to 5-hours to recharge, though not a problem when you charge it during the day.  The built-in charging indicator shifts from red to blue when fully charged, so you’re always in the know.

Using it for long periods isn’t a problem either as the adjustable head strap is comfy and fits securely on your head, or over a hat. Also, the extra strap that goes over the top of your head stops it from sliding down your face!

To keep everything safe and sound, including its C USB cable, the HL-1300 comes in an EVA case for safe storage and weighs a mere 90 grams.

Overall the HL-1300 has been brilliant, especially when walking Lilly late at night in the deep bowels of the park. 

Although I love the breadth of light it offers on full beam, now the temperature has dropped I often have it set to medium as the condensation from my breath rises into the light and clouds my view!
