Luxelight is a brand of rechargeable LED headlamps built for hands-free light. The Luxelight LED headlamp, also searched for as the Luxelight LED head torch, sits on an adjustable headband and combines a wide curved LED strip with a separate spotlight, so one lamp can light a workspace at arm's length or a path further ahead.
Headlamp and head torch mean the same thing. North Americans usually say headlamp; people in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and parts of Asia usually say head torch. This page uses both so you can find the same product under either name.
Most basic head torches use a single round LED that produces a bright centre and dark edges. That is fine for walking a straight path, but it is tiring for close work, because your eyes keep adjusting between a hot spot and a dark surround. The Luxelight COB (chip-on-board) strip spreads light across a very wide field, so a workbench, a tent, an engine bay or a cabin is evenly lit. The XPE LED is the spotlight for distance.
Small buttons are fiddly in gloves, with cold fingers or with muddy hands. Luxelight includes a motion sensor: wave a hand in front of the lamp and the wide light switches on or off. A conventional button handles the other modes, so you are never forced to rely on the sensor.
It suits campers and hikers, runners and dog walkers, anglers, DIYers and mechanics, tradespeople, and households preparing for power outages. It is not designed for hazardous atmospheres, diving or replacing legally required lights on bicycles or vehicles.
Three numbers describe most headlamps, and each tells only part of the story. Here is what they mean and the verified values for the Luxelight LED headlamp.
Lumens measure the total light a source emits in all directions. A higher number means more total light, not necessarily a longer reach. A wide strip of 350 lumens spreads that light across a large area, while a 350-lumen spot concentrates it into a narrow cone that looks far more intense in the centre.
Lux is the amount of light landing on a surface; candela is the intensity in one direction. The FL1 standard calculates beam distance from peak candela, which is why a spot has a long rated distance while a wide light does not. For close work, even lux across a wide area matters more.
Under FL1, runtime is the time until output drops to 10% of the level measured 30 seconds after switch-on. A lamp can still glow beyond that point, but it is no longer useful. Runtime is quoted for a specific mode, so compare like with like.
The 230° figure is the horizontal angle across which the strip emits visible light. Effective distances are the range at which a 1 lux reading was measured on a bench.
| Activity | Typical lumens | Luxelight mode |
|---|---|---|
| Reading, tent or cabin tasks | 20–100 | COB 40% |
| Garage, loft, car repair | 150–350 | COB 100% |
| Walking, hiking, dog walking | 150–350 | XPE 40% / 100% |
| Trail running | 250–400 | XPE 100% + COB |
| Night fishing | 50–200 | COB 40% |
| Power outage | 50–200 | COB 40% |
Verified bench results at 20 °C, fully charged battery. Extreme heat or cold shortens runtime.
What each feature does, why it is there, and where its limits are.
A curved strip gives even, wide light with soft edges and few hard shadows. It is the best choice within a few metres: workbenches, tents, campsite kitchens, engine bays and lofts. It will not throw as far as the spot, and that is by design.
A focused beam at 350 or 150 lumens for longer distance: trail bends, signs, a gate across a field or the far side of a stream. At 150 lumens it is gentler on your battery and on anyone you meet.
An infrared sensor on the front detects a hand within about 5 cm and toggles the wide light. It works with gloves. A long press on the button locks the sensor so the lamp cannot switch on in a bag.
A built-in 1,200 mAh lithium-ion cell charges fully in about 4 hours from a computer, wall plug, power bank or car charger, so you can top up almost anywhere. A charge indicator shows progress.
An elastic, breathable band fits head circumferences of 48–62 cm and sits comfortably over a cap, beanie or under a hood. At 68 g in total, the lamp stays put when you run and does not leave pressure marks.
Rated IPX4 under IEC 60529: protected against splashing water from any direction, which covers rain, wet snow, spray and sweat. Do not submerge it, and dry the USB port before charging.
The right light depends on the task, not only on the lumen figure. Here is how we recommend using each Luxelight mode for common activities.
Use the COB strip at camp for cooking, packing and reading, and switch to the XPE spot on the trail. On multi-day trips, stay in 40% modes and charge from a power bank. Tilt the lamp down when talking to others.
The lamp is light enough to forget, and the strip lights the ground just ahead of your feet. Add reflective clothing and a rear light, and follow your local rules for road use.
Under a hood, in a loft or in a garage, light follows your eyes. Wave to switch on when your hands are oily. Avoid use near fuel vapour: this lamp is not rated for explosive atmospheres.
A handy general light for inspection and tidying. It is not certified safety equipment, so follow your site's rules and local occupational safety requirements on approved lighting.
Storms, floods and grid failures can cut power for hours or days. A headlamp lets you cook, check a fuse box or carry a child with both hands free. Keep it fully charged and recharge from a power bank or car.
Tie knots and bait hooks with the wide strip, then use the 150-lumen spot to find the water's edge. The wave switch works with fishing gloves, and IPX4 handles spray.
Luxelight ships worldwide, so it needs to cope with rain in Manchester, snow in Montréal, dust in Queensland and humidity in Singapore. Here is how to get reliable light anywhere.
Lithium-ion cells lose capacity in the cold: expect about 20% less runtime near 0 °C. Keep the lamp inside your jacket until needed, use 40% modes, carry a warm power bank, and never charge a frozen lamp.
Heat ages batteries faster and can be unsafe. Never leave the lamp in a parked car, never charge a hot lamp, and use 40% modes to reduce warming. Store it in shade in your pack.
IPX4 covers splashing from any direction, including driving rain. In humid climates wipe the lamp dry and let the USB port air-dry before charging. IPX4 is not a submersion rating.
IPX4 covers water, not dust. In deserts and dusty sites, keep the lamp in a pouch and wipe the lens and sensor. A dirty sensor may not respond to your hand.
In fog, mist or falling snow a bright beam at eye level reflects off the particles. Tilt the lamp lower or use the wide strip at 40% to reduce glare.
After boating or beach use, rinse the lamp with fresh water, dry it fully and clean the USB port before charging.
Buyers often ask what to choose. Here is our straightforward guidance, based on how people use the lamp, not on what is most expensive.
A practical rule is to keep one lamp where you will need it in the dark: the glove box (shaded and cool), the hallway cupboard and the camping bag. A light you cannot find during an outage is no use, so spares are not wasteful.
If you mostly run or cycle at night, remember that a headlamp supplements, and never replaces, the lights your local law requires on your bike or vehicle.
From first search to long-term use, here is what to expect at every step, so there are no surprises.
Read this guide, compare modes and check the specifications. Every figure comes from our bench data and data sheet.

Charge for about four hours, fit the band and try each mode at home before relying on it outdoors.
Questions, a return or a warranty claim: our team is available 24/7 at support@luxelight.net.
We designed this journey around the questions customers actually ask: Will it be bright enough? Will it cope with my climate? Will it switch on by accident? What will it cost after exchange rates, tax and duties? Can I return it? Each answer appears on this page before you buy.
A headlamp points where you look and frees both hands. A handheld flashlight (torch) gives a longer, narrower throw but occupies one hand. A lantern lights a whole area but cannot follow you.
Any task where your hands are busy: cooking, repairing, climbing, carrying firewood, fishing, first aid. Because the light moves with your head, you never have to ask someone to hold it, and shadows from your own hands are reduced.
Searching a long distance, signalling or checking a far fence line. A good flashlight usually has a bigger reflector and can throw further than a small headlamp spot.
Lighting a campsite table or a room during an outage. Lanterns spread light 360° but are heavy to carry and do not help on the move.
A wide beam gives peripheral vision, which helps you judge terrain and spot movement at the edge of view. A spot beam gives distance. The Luxelight LED headlamp combines both so you can choose quickly. Many users run the wide light for the ground and the spot for far targets, switching between them as the terrain changes.
Pick the 40% modes, teach children never to look into someone's face, and supervise charging. The band adjusts down to 48 cm, but young children should only use the lamp with an adult.
Battery life is the most misunderstood headlamp number. It depends on mode, temperature, battery age and how often you switch.
UN 38.3 transport testing and IEC 62133 cell safety standards exist to reduce lithium-ion risk. When flying, devices with built-in lithium batteries are generally carried in the cabin; check your airline and aviation authority rules before you travel.
It takes under five minutes to set up. Try each mode at home first so you know how it behaves in the dark.
Connect the USB-C cable to a computer, wall plug, power bank or car charger. A full charge takes about four hours.
Adjust the headband so the lamp sits snugly on your forehead, with the strip level. Tilt it to aim the spot.
Wave your hand in front of the sensor to switch the wide light. Press the button to cycle spot, brightness levels and strobe.

Seeing is only half of night safety: being seen matters just as much. Use Luxelight alongside, not instead of, proper visibility gear.
A headlamp helps you see and be seen from the front, and many riders add one for junctions. But road lighting laws vary by country, state and province, and almost everywhere a bicycle ridden at night must carry a working white front light and a red rear light, often with reflectors. The Luxelight LED headlamp is a supplement, not a replacement. Check the official rules where you ride; examples are linked in the sources below.
Wipe the lens with a soft damp cloth, keep the USB port clean and dry, and rinse off salt, sand, mud or road grit with fresh water, then air-dry before charging. Store the lamp in a cool, dry place away from direct sun.

Luxelight is a brand of USB-C rechargeable LED headlamps. The Luxelight LED Headlamp has a 230° wide curved strip, a separate spotlight, a hand-wave sensor and adjustable brightness, and ships worldwide.
Yes. Head torch is the common term in the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, and headlamp is the common term in North America. They describe the same product: a light worn on the head.
The COB wide strip has 350 lm and 150 lm modes, and the XPE spotlight has 350 lm and 150 lm modes. Figures are maximums at start.
Working time is 3 to 8 hours depending on mode: about 3 hours on 100% modes and about 8 hours on 40% modes. Extreme heat or cold reduces runtime.
It is water-resistant, rated IPX4, which covers splashing water from any direction such as rain, snow or spray. It should not be submerged.
Wave a hand about 5 cm in front of the sensor to switch the wide light. Press the button to step through brightness levels, spotlight and strobe.
It can if something passes the sensor. Lock the sensor with a long press on the button before storing the lamp in a bag.
It can add light, but it does not replace the lights and reflectors that the law in your country requires on bicycles and vehicles.
It warms on 100% modes, so use 40% modes for long wear. In freezing weather the battery loses some capacity, and in hot weather it should never be left in a parked car or charged while hot.
The band adjusts from 48 to 62 cm. Children should use it only with adult supervision.
Use the supplied USB-C cable and a regulated 5 V source such as a computer, wall plug, power bank or car charger. Charge on a hard surface and unplug when full, about 4 hours.
It is a general-purpose light, not certified for hazardous atmospheres. Follow your site rules and your employer's approved lighting requirements.
We ship worldwide in about 5 to 15 business days depending on region. Sales tax, VAT or GST is calculated at checkout where applicable, and customs duties may apply in some countries. Prices are in US dollars.
You can return it within 30 days of purchase for a full refund, and it carries a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Your statutory consumer rights are not affected.
