A mighty, heavy-duty head torch, perfect for winter trail runners and night hikers.
Moonlight says:
An iteration of our lightest and most popular headlamp, the Bright As Day 800 offers real 800 lumens thanks to our Constant Lighting technology. The battery shell has been entirely redesigned to integrate our new Screw Lock, and the run time has been increased by 25% to reach 2 hours at full power! The lamp that won Hardrock 100, Western States 100 mile and UTMB in 2022.
Recommended for all outdoor activities at easy or moderate pace. Ideal for running, hiking and mountaineering.
Our Verdict
The tagline, 'Darkness is not an excuse anymore', hits the nail on the head with this one; One of the used such a powerful headlamp. "Bright as Day" originates from Norway, and this powerful head torches asset to how dark their winters must be.
This is a comfortable head torch to wear. It utilises an Interchangeable battery with a one-meter extension cable, so you can keep it in a pocket close to your core in the winter months to keep the battery from draining.
The torch and battery combined can be cumbersome, so the headtorch distributes its weight with a headband that comes over the top of the head and around the head. If you like to run with a cap, this can be a pain, but OK with a beanie
