Stove experts Primus have moved into the headtorch
market this autumn with a a range of four PrimeLite LED
headtorches aimed at walkers and climbers.
Top of the range is the PrimeLite Adventure which uses a
1-watt Luxeon LED with a claimed 75-metre range when used at full
power. There are five power settings on the torch allowing it to be
used for anything from campsite cuisine through to night
navigation.
It also has a removable 3xAA battery pack for cold weather use -
keep the battery in your pocket for added warmth - a low battery
warning level indicator, red bulb options to retain night vision, is
impact resistant, waterproof to one metre and, says Primus, has
buttons which are easily useable with gloves.
In common with other torches in the new range, the Adventure comes
complete with a 'light bag' for in-tent illumination, from what
Primus say, the bag diffuses and softens the light for a luxurious
camping lighting experience.
The top of the range Adventure retails at £50 with the
remainder of the range costing less, doh. We confidently predict
classic Swedish thoroughness, so they should be worth a look if
you're in the market for head-mounted illumination this winter.
