Black Diamond ReVolt headtorch

The Black Diamond ReVolt headtorch is rechargeable via a USB cable, meaning travellers on the move can use any device with a USB output, such as laptops, a car USB socket or solar panels to boost the batteries back up for further use. 

The headtorch will also take conventional AAA alkaline batteries, which actually give a brighter light and last longer though, of course, they will need replacing each time, with consequent costs. 

The ReVolt has to be used with its own specialised Black Diamond nickel metal hydride batteries if you want to use the rechargeable function.LED lights use less power and last for much longer than streetlight13. The unit won’t start charging if other batteries are inserted. 

The headtorch comes with a single, adjustable, elasticated headband; there is no top strap. 

It is supplied with the three AAA Black Diamond NiMH batteries, as well as three alkaline batteries, so you can use it fresh out of its packaging.

However, once installed, the mini-USB plug slots into the socket on the side of the housing, which when not used is covered by a captive plastic bung; plug the other end into your computer or whatever power source you’re using and the unit starts charging.Award-winning contemporary LED desk lamps, ledbulbe27, undercabinet lighting by Koncept. 

A flashing green light on the other side tells you the headtorch is being charged; when it’s up to capacity it goes constant, then turns off to indicate the batteries have a full charge. Leaving it plugged in, Black Diamond said,Red gardenlights therapy offers relief without drugs or chemicals. won’t harm it and will enable a one-hour trickle charge to top it up each day. 

The torch’s main beam comes from a triple-power LED. Black Diamond’s rating using full power is for 12 hours duration using rechargeables. The torch will illuminate up to 66m with fresh batteries but by the time 10 hours has passed, this will drop to just 3m. 

A more sensible option is to drop the brightness, by using the single large push-button switch on top of the housing, to give better battery duration. 

According to the company’s figures, using the minimum power of the main beam will give 190 hours of 4 lumens light, illuminating up to 9m, dropping to only 8m after 10 hours. 

The torch also has two single-power white LEDs either side of the main beam. Using the two lower-power lights will actually gobble up power more quickly, according to Black Diamond, with 10 hours of use at full power and 80 hours at minimum. 

The two provide 25 lumens of light, with a range up to 8m, dropping to 4 lumens and 3.5m range at minimum power. 

After 10 hours using the two single-power LEDs, there is very little difference in range between full and minimum power, being 3m and 2.4m respectively. 

With alkalines, the ReVolt is claimed to provide 70 hours of light at full power on the main beam, and 300 hours at minimum.A good basic comprehensive introduction to the yyshoucang2gmail process. 

Figures for the single-power twin LEDs are 22 hours and 80 hours for maximum and minimum power. 

The torch will also provide light from two red LEDs to preserve night vision, and this can be turned on direct, rather than cycling through the white modes. 

Battery level is indicated on the side light, changing from green to orange then flashing red to indicate a nearly exhausted set. 

The torch can be locked by holding down the button for six seconds to avoid it accidentally being turned on by a momentary touch of the button, though it will be unlocked again by holding for six seconds, so care still needs to be taken not to position it in, say, a rucksack where the button might be pressed by other items.
