Thanks to this head torch, I’m no longer left in the dark when I’m running

A Luma Boost at four in the morning

Translation: machine translated
At four in the morning, all is still well with the world. But dark. So switch on the Luma Boost, switch on the light and off you go into the next forest with up to 220 lumens.
It's 3.30 a.m. when the alarm clock jolts me out of my dreams and I seriously wonder whether I've got something on my brain. It's half past three in the morning, it's ***** cold outside, pitch black and I'm going for a run. Really now? Then I remember: I want to try out the new "Boost" from Luma.
So I get up, put on four layers of sportswear - long live the onion principle - drink half a litre of black coffee and quickly let the hangover out. He's not going jogging, he's going hunting. In the meantime, the coffee is also having an effect. As you can see
.
The Boost from Luma now has four light levels instead of the previous three. The cap weighs 70 grams and the LED system inside can be extended with a power bank during use. It is suitable for outdoor activities such as running, trail running or ski tours.
The specification
- Interchangeable light levels with low and high beam
- Red reflectors with different modes for increased safety
- Battery integrated into the cap
- Battery can be extended with a power bank during use
- Charging level monitoring function
- Easy installation and removal
- Washable cap
Say it with lumen
Enough said, Luma up and off we go into the black night.
Jogging through the forest at four in the morning is, shall we say, "special". So note to self. Firstly, don't watch "The Walking Dead" the night before. Especially not if your route takes you past a cemetery.
And secondly, don't walk through the forest in full festive lighting because you'll wake up all the animals. They already have enough on their plate with us humans. At least at night, they deserve a few hours of peace and quiet.
So after 40 minutes, I make my way home again because my stomach is rumbling. Time for breakfast.
The cap sits securely on my head during the entire run. No wobbling like with certain classic headlamps. And it also warms my bald head. That's great, especially on a frosty autumn morning like today.
Here you can find all the Luma headlamps at Galaxus. And here to my author profile.
