Buying a headlamp and wondering how many lumens you actually need?

Lumen numbers can be confusing. Some headlamps advertise thousands of lumens, but more brightness isn’t always better for every situation.

In this video we break down:
• What lumens actually mean
• Why brightness doesn’t scale linearly
• Why turbo modes don’t last
• When high-lumen headlamps actually matter
• How to choose the right brightness for your use

Whether you're hiking, camping, trail running, or working at night, understanding how brightness works will help you choose the right headlamp for your needs.
