A practical and versatile flashlight, easy to find thanks to its vivid color. The battery lasts a long time, but unfortunately it cannot be replaced with a new one, which makes it impossible to take a spare. For longer trips, a power bank is necessary, which I consider the biggest drawback.
Silva Explore 5 Black Headlamp - 700 lumens
Explore 5 trekking headlamp is a reliable light source, designed for harsh outdoor conditions. It has a maximum output of 700 lumens, which guarantees effective illumination at a distance of up to 115 meters. Thanks to Silva's smart light technology, the user can use both long-range and wide-angle light for close range. A built-in rechargeable battery charged via a USB-C port adds to the practicality of the device.
4 work modes
The headlamp has a variety of lighting modes, including a super-low mode that emits 15 lumens for 50 hours, making it ideal for reading. The maximum mode runs for 2-3 hours, while the medium-high mode offers 4.5-5 hours of operation at 300 lumens. In addition, the headlamp is equipped with red and orange light modes to help maintain nighttime visibility and make map reading easier. Changing modes is done with a convenient switch, located on the bottom of the device.

- Med High: 300 lumens / 75 m / 4.5-5 hours,

Durable design, IP68 waterproof rating
The body of the headlamp is made of aluminum coated with matte anodization, which increases its resistance to corrosion and scratches. Durable tempered glass protects the lens from possible damage. The non-slip head prevents the headlamp from moving when placed on a flat surface. Thanks to the materials used and the sealing rings, the headlamp meets the IP68 waterproof standard, which provides full resistance to dust, water and the possibility of immersion to a depth of up to 2 meters. In addition, it is resistant to falls from heights of up to 2 meters.
Power supply and functionality
The headlamp has an integrated rechargeable battery charged via a USB-C port, allowing for a full charge in 2 hours. The Silva Intelligent Light power system combines different types of lighting for maximum flexibility and comfort. A battery level indicator with four levels allows you to monitor the power status in real time, and a button lock protects against accidental activation. In addition, rubber reinforcements increase shock resistance, making the headlamp ideal for harsh outdoor conditions.
Convenient mounting and accessories
The set includes a helmet mount, which increases the versatility of the headlamp. Smooth-action fasteners allow for easy adjustment, and a spring-loaded clip allows the headlamp to be attached to a backpack, pocket or other gear. The set also includes a charging cable and a protective case, which provides additional protection during transport.
