Hunting has many options when it comes to 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.

Reactive headlamps increase battery life
Reactive Headlamps are able to extend the life of your battery by switching from a brightly lit white light to a dimmable red light. This conserves night vision. With all three lighting modes, the intensity of light can be controlled. As the battery gets close to its end, the reserve battery feature lights up for approximately an hour at 25 Lumens. Although reactive headlamps can also help preserve battery life, some people dislike the added brightness.
Reactive headlamps last at least three times longer than regular ones. These headlamps utilize the MyPetzl mobile and tablet application. You can set the headlamp to last up to ten hours, thereby extending the life of the battery. Bluetooth connectivity makes it possible to control the reactive headlamps using a smartphone or tablet.
