Application

The HF8R Work Headlamp from Ledlenser is intended for situations that require additional illumination while ensuring both hands remain consistently engaged. 

Origin

When people are in need of additional light, headlamps can be a good option for when they need to use their hands to handle work or other tasks. However, if technicians are still having to manually adjust the light beam, work ends up getting continuously interrupted. Ledlenser's designers wanted to change that dynamic and create a truly hands-free headlamp.
