Lighting your way in rainy weather

Farming never sleeps. It is an anyhour, all-weather profession, and therefore you need gear that can keep up. A reliable headlamp is an essential item for all those times you need to venture outside after dark, whether it is to fix something, check on stock or just to get in some wood or feed the dogs.

Until now, one of the problems you faced when buying a headlamp was finding a model that stood up to the rigours of farming life, especially the weather conditions you are often outside in. The last thing you need when you are out dealing with a problem on a wet night is for your light to fail! While Ledlenser has been popular in the rural sector for their brightness and beam range, until now, most models have been splashproof rather than waterproof, meaning you had to be careful to protect your headlamp against full immersion in water. Thankfully Ledlenser’s design team in Germany have now solved the problem, producing a newly redesigned H-Series range of headlamps that are waterproof and dustproof, making them perfect for all jobs on the farm. The advancements in waterproofing is due to Ledlenser’s newly developed Flex Sealing Technology, which allows your headlamp to be watertight while still featuring Ledlenser’s Advanced Focus System.

All of the new H-Series headlamps are rated at either IP67 or IP68, meaning they are completely impervious to dust and, at the minimum, can be immersed in up to one metre of water for 30 minutes without affecting the functioning of the headlamp. This provides you with the certainty that your headlamp will continue to work even if it unexpectedly takes a dip. Along with now being waterproof and dustproof, most models have also undergone a massive upgrade in their key specifications. For instance, the iconic H7R headlamp has seen its maximum brightness rating improve from 300 lumens to 1000 lumens, and the beam range on high power extend from 140 metres to 200 metres. Nearly all of the new range of headlamps are rechargeable, which is great for the environment and will save you money over the long term. All rechargeable models come with the innovative magnetic charging system for easy recharging. Providing you with even more confidence, all Ledlenser headlamps are backed by a comprehensive 7-year extendable warranty — comprised of a 2-year standard warranty, which you can extend by 5 years by registering your product online.
