Hunters have many options for headlamps. There are a number of different types of headlamps that hunters can choose from: Cree XPE, reactive, Black Diamond Storm 400s, Petzl Tykkinas, and Cree XPELED headlamps. Headlamps that are rechargeable may also be worth your consideration. The main point to remember is that rechargeable headlamps tend to be heavier and require four AAA batteries to work. We'll be discussing a variety of headlamps, and which are the best for hunting.
Reactive headlamps prolong battery life
Reactive headlamps increase the battery life by switching between a bright white and a red light. This preserves night vision. Each of the three lighting modes allows for a different intensity. As the battery nears it's end, its reserve battery function will light for about an hour at 25 lms. While reactive headlamps are good for preserving battery life and some people don't like the additional brightness, they are useful.
Reactive headlamps usually last three times as long than regular ones. These headlamps utilize the MyPetzl mobile and tablet application. The battery life can be extended by setting the headlamp to run for up to ten hour. Reactive headlamps can be controlled from a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth connectivity.

This Cree XPE LED headlamp features four distinct modes for optimal lighting. Its center white light is complemented by three green LED bottom lights and four red side lights, one of which has a strobe function. The lamp features a weather-resistant three-layer nylon headband with cross-strap elastic. The light output of this headlamp ranges from 20 to 126 lumens. You will receive two (2) AAA batteries.
The 120 Lumens Cree XPE LED that is part of the ST120D Headlamp shines brightly. There are two power modes, zoom in and zoom out. This headlamp has a 16 hour light life span. The bezel is made of aluminum aircraft-grade and the heatsink is integrated. This headlamp will withstand any rough use and is very durable. The headlamp's features and price are competitive.

The Tikkina is rechargeable so it can be charged anywhere, without worrying about battery life. You can adjust the brightness level to suit your needs.
Black Diamond Storm 4000
The Black Diamond Storm 400 headlamp is a high-performance, lightweight headlamp that delivers up to 400 lumens on its highest setting. Brightness Memory technology makes it turn on at the preferred brightness level every single time it is switched on. An elastic wraparound head mount is included with the headlamp to increase comfort and stability. You can also toggle between dimming, medium, or bright settings with the PowerTap switch. This will preserve your night vision.
The Storm scored 6 out of 10 points for its ease of use. The Storm's intuitive UI allows for simple switching between modes and basic functions. It does not have the Dual Fuel technology that is found in other headlamps. It is therefore important to know how to best use the various features. However, the price of the headlamp makes it a great option for backpackers, cyclists, and others who need high-quality lighting on a budget.
