The torch also features a washable elastic headband and can be tilted up to 45 degrees.
Customer Reviews and Alternatives
Amazon customers have rated the Blukar head torch an average of 4.7 stars from over 13,300 reviews. One shopper wrote: “This is a great item, very bright and the battery lasts a long time. I would highly recommend this product. The price is exceptional for this head torch. Hand gestures make it easy to operate when in the dark. Also used it as a tent light. Would buy again, seems very robust and will last a long time.”
Another reviewer added: “Having had dogs for many years we have worked our way through quite a few head torches. These are by far the best, and significantly cheaper than most. For a start the torch bit isn’t too heavy, so the band doesn’t stretch out of shape too quickly. Secondly the controls are simple and intuitive. And you get two! Will definite buy again when these fail - which they haven’t done yet (a year later).”
A third shopper called it a “great purchase”, writing: “Really great product, it’s got a fantastic light range and the durability of the product seems great. Because there are two you feel more secure just switching over if anything does die, but the power seems to be fine to me. Great buy.”
One shopper removed a star, noting: “The battery doesn't last as long as the original version of this product, but it is just as bright as the original.” Another wrote: “Excellent value for money. A bit bigger than expected but the light is very efficient and range good.”
Other Options
Alternative options include the Luceco Rechargeable LED Head Torch at £11.18 (down from £12.48) at Screwfix, offering five lighting settings, and the Energizer Vision Ultra LED 450 Lumen Headlamp at £29.99 on Argos, which provides up to 450 lumens and seven light modes.
