Description: The exceptional brightness of modern high performance LE Ds has a drawback: an unpleasant dazzling effect if you try to read by LED light. To counteract this LED Lenser have installed a dimmer control on the battery compartment of head torches like the H3.2 which helps to provide comfortable nearfield lighting when required. Another feature that comes in useful when studying documents is the H3.2's pivoting head which enables the light to be angled to 90° for optimal viewing conditions.

Review: After recently getting more seriously into wild camping with some friends, my £5 head torch from a supermarket didn’t live very long with regular use and bad weather. I knew I wanted a CREE chip version, as I’d seen a friends CREE bike lamp and I was blown away at what a single LED from this manufacturer could do. A lot of the CREE LED versions on here however seemed to originate from China with some worrying reports of the 3.7V batteries getting very hot and/or exploding. Aside from having my head exploded (that would knock at least two stars off a review) I didn’t fancy the 4 to 6 week wait for delivery either! Priorities. That and not being able to use standard AAA batteries in a pinch… So as I always do, I started off with a £20 budget version in mind, and ended up blowing way past it for this model from a reputable EU manufacturer and UK stock. But I am so glad I did. This head torch ticks all the boxes. The next day delivery was just that. Ordered at 4pm Wednesday, and got the locker collection code for pick up 12:30pm next day. It is well made, and whilst it is plastic and not aluminium like higher price-point versions, it does not have any worrying flex or rattle. The hinged beam angle adjustment seems firm and unlikely to move when jostled about, but could have done with being a little stiffer. The focus adjustment ring is not too lose, but is not so stiff you’ll struggle to adjust it with wet gloves on. I like the rear battery pack which gives a better balance over my old front mounted version, plus the rear flashing red LED is a nice touch. The cabling from the battery pack seems of high quality and unlikely to cause me any problems. Suitably impressed with build quality, I inserted the battery pack and charged it up. I had to do this using my own HTC phone charger, as the one supplied was an EU 2 pin plug, not the 3 pin UK version. It took a little over two hours to charge (but this was not from flat), and the LED indicators in the control wheel indicate charging state. Red for charging, green for charged. I knew from my mistake with my friend’s aforementioned bike lamp not to look into a CREE lamp when turned on. Even trying this out in daylight in my front room impressed greatly. It goes incredibly bright, and has an even light spread throughout its entire focal range. At night time it’s more than you’ll ever need for seeing where you are going on foot. For close tasks you really need the lower settings or it is uncomfortably bright. Thankfully not only do you have a ‘HIGH’ and ‘LOW’ option, with each option you can tune the brightness further by adjusting the dial on the battery pack. You get a helpful blink of the beam when it reaches Max and Min values. One nice sensible touch is that the power cycles from OFF to LOW mode first by default, before going on to HIGH modes. This lets you use the night-vision-saving setting without having to ruin your night vision cycling through other brighter modes first. It also remembers which intensity setting you had LOW on previously, so if you had the setting turned way down to preserve night vision, it will still be on that setting even you if had switched to a higher mode and made adjustments. Someone at LED Lenser was thinking when they made this. It is appreciated! It is possible to swap this sequence about though if you would prefer the torch to go from OFF to FULL first. There is a decent notched feeling between dial settings, so again there is no trouble using this with wet gloves. Although I don’t see this being a problem for me, there is another feature to prevent accidental activation if it’s in a bag. With the torch off, long-press the power button for 5 seconds and it locks the torch off. It takes another 5 second long-press to release the lock. Personally I find the power button stiff enough to be unlikely to accidentally activate, but the feature is there if you want it. A long press with the torch already on activates a timed BOOST mode which maxes lumen output temporarily. I have not timed this, as personally so far HIGH mode on its own is plenty for most tasks. I suppose if you really need to find that gate across a field at night, this is the mode you want. Cleverer still, you can decide how the torch handles it power delivery. You have two options. The economy mode will let the brightness gradually decrease in line with charge from the battery pack. This will prolong the use you get out of it before it needs charging at the cost of light output towards the end of the charge. The other mode keeps brightness at whatever setting you have selected for as long as the battery can keep that up. Obviously you’ll get less notice when the battery becomes exhausted. The battery low warning is three blinks of the beam every 15 seconds. Having only used this on one outing so far, I cannot comment on battery life so I’ll update when I have to do my first charge. I will also charge it up off my portable 22400mAh battery pack from the 2.1A output to see if that helps charging times. This was another reason I chose this head torch. It is another device that can charge off micro USB. So far though, it has gone through two full nights of use which I estimate to be 12 hours with various settings (mostly LOW) and is still as good as when I started. I can’t think of a single reason not to recommend this torch. Buy with confidence.

Review: This review is the H7.2 non rechargeable. It takes 4xAAA cells. This way i can fit dry cells or rechargeables as i wish (although i have to charge them separately). This unit is to replace my old H3 which is now falling apart. The old had a better focus mechanism, but the tilt is better in this one. The H7 battery compartment is overly large and poor design. Firstly, they should fit 2 or 3x AA and not AAA. This would be better for battery life (AAA=1000mAh vs AA=2400). And if 2xAA, smaller and lighter. Even 2AA would be more energy than 4xAAA. Secondly the rigid back plastic cover is a pig to remove without breaking the tabs, which i can see will happen at some point. My old model had a rubber battery cover, which was awesome. I suppose this cost a fraction of a penny more, but then aren't these supposed to be premium units? I read some reviews saying the unit sometimes switches on when put in a bag. This just happened to me. Hopefully, this might be rare and i was unlucky. But i don't like the idea of the batteries being dead the moment i need it! Something to watch. Overall, the head lamp is pretty good. It's nice and bright. You can vary the brightness, the angle and the focus (ie beam width). It's more bulky than my old model, so make sure the straps are tight. I looked at all the more expensive rechargeable models, but i don't want that. I usually use two sets of rechargeable batteries. When one set give up, i swap in the other to finish the job.
