Im planning to gift someone a headlamp mainly for their daily dog walks. Budget is up to 100€. Would like something with a simple interface (recipient is over 50 and not big into lights) and intergated usb charging is must. takes 18650. Area illumination, meaning on the floody side but not a complete lack of throw. Dont need special modes, a simpler Interface is better. Also dont need 1000 lumäns turbo, would rather prefer around 400 - 500 constant regulated output. If the light has a overhead strap is needs to be removable. Also has to survive heavy rain and storms occasionally. batt of cause should be replaceable.
Mainly looking at fenix right now at their HL60R. is has turbo and red but otherwise seems rather simple and the 400 lumen mode is constant and well regulated. Also neutral white and ipx8.
Is there anything else I should look at? I really dont know anything about headlamps so I need your help here. thanks guys.
p.s. does anyone have the hl60r and can report how the ratchet mechanism holds up? Ive read its just a plastic piece rubbing against the ridges of the lamp.
