Our Expert review of the Summit Prolite 3W COB Head Torch
What would you use it for?
Just like a bog standard torch, you’d use a head torch when a bit of extra light helps you stay safe, comfortable and makes life a lot easier. Using the Summit Prolite 3W COB 200 lumen head torch makes this even easier because both hands are freed up.
What’s good about it?
Its lightweight minimal design and adjustable brightness head lamp. The strap is also comfortable to wear and adjustable. Made of strong plastics, it can put up with some rough treatment and has 200 lumens of lighting power with 3 adjustable light modes, though really we found ourselves on using 2, which we got excellent beam distance. The IP54 rating also means you can confidently wear it during most different types of weather.
Are there any drawbacks?
Unlike the Summit StormForce T6, the Prolite takes AAA batteries, which aren’t rechargeable by default. We did get around 6-7 hours of use before finding that batteries were starting to go, which isn’t far off what Summit claim this head torch is capable of. The nuisance is having to take more batteries with you though saving money in the long run we would suggest using rechargeable AAA batteries.
Are there alternative products available?
As you can imagine a simple Google search for head torches brings up thousands of results across a broad spectrum of designs for a huge price range.
