A practical and versatile flashlight, easy to find thanks to its vivid colour. The battery lasts a long time, but unfortunately it cannot be replaced with a new one, which makes it impossible to carry a spare. On longer trips, a powerbank is necessary, which I consider the biggest disadvantage.
Silva Explore 5 Yellow Head Torch - 700 lumens
The Explore 5 head torch in yellow is a reliable light source, designed for tough outdoor conditions. The torch has a maximum output of 700 lumens, which guarantees effective illumination at a distance of up to 115 metres. Thanks to Silva's intelligent light technology, the user can benefit from both long-range and wide-angle light for close-range use. The built-in battery, charged via a USB-C port, increases the device's practicality.
4 operating modes
The head torch has various lighting modes, including a super-low mode that emits 15 lumens for 50 hours, making it ideal for reading. The maximum mode lasts for 2-3 hours, while the medium-high mode offers 4.5-5 hours of operation at 300 lumens. In addition, the torch has a red and an orange light mode, which help to maintain night vision and make it easier to read maps. The modes can be changed using a convenient switch located on the bottom of the device.

- Max: 700 lumens / 115 m / 2-3 hours,
- Med High: 300 lumens / 75 m / 4.5-5 hours,
- Med Low: 100 lumens / 20 m / 10 hours,

Robust design, IP68 rating
The body of the head torch is made of aluminium with a matt anodised finish, which increases its resistance to corrosion and scratches. Durable tempered glass protects the lens from possible damage. The non-slip head prevents the torch from moving when placed on a flat surface. Thanks to the materials used and the sealing rings, the torch meets the IP68 waterproof standard, which ensures complete resistance to dust and water and the possibility of immersion to a depth of 2 metres. In addition, it is resistant to falls from a height of up to 2 metres.
Supply and functionality
The head torch has an integrated battery that can be charged via a USB-C port, allowing it to be fully charged within 2 hours. The Silva Intelligent Light power system combines different types of lighting for maximum flexibility and user comfort. The four-stage battery level indicator allows you to monitor the energy status at all times, and the button lock prevents accidental activation. In addition, rubber reinforcements increase shock resistance, making the torch ideal for tough outdoor conditions.
Convenient fastening and accessories
The set includes a helmet mount, which makes the head torch even more versatile. The smooth-running fasteners on the headband allow for easy adjustment and adaptation of the torch. The set also includes a USB charging cable.
