Hi there!
I'm in the market for a waterproof (Hey, I live in Ireland!) and durable headlamp for night hiking.
I've been lurking & reading some great reviews and info on here for both the ThruNite TH20 & the Skilhunt H02R, which are both within my budget. Unfortunately this can only stretch to around $30.
My preference would be the ThruNite TH20, due to it being a single AA and a bit smaller in size, although it does seem to weigh a little more - 96g vs 58g without batteries and 120g vs 102g with. (Is that correct?)
I am having difficulty finding runtimes for the ThruNite TH20 for somewhere in the middle of its range, say around 100 lumens. All the reviews I've seen only give the min and max values. Can anyone help me with this info?
I need to get 5-6 hours runtime. Would it be reasonable to assume that I could achieve this with the ThruNite TH20 set at around half power?
I see the Skilhunt H02R is rated for 11 hours at 120 lumens, plus I have some 18650 batteries already, so I may just opt for that.
Has anyone used the ThruNite TH20 on long 5+ hour night hikes?
Is there another great headlamp I'm missing that will work for me?
Thanks!
