We recommend the SOFIRN HS40 for hikers and campers who want one light that works as a headlamp and a pocket tool light. A 20W SST40 LED delivers up to 2,000 lumens and a 175 m beam with stepped modes and smooth ramping from 1 lumen, and the 3,000 mAh 18650 battery charges over USB-C in about 3 hours with a 2A adapter. At 65 g without the battery (115 g with it), IP68 waterproofing and a hard-anodized aluminum body, it is light and rugged, and the magnetic tail cap and two-way clip let you mount it anywhere. At $29.99 it is an easy recommendation.

Who should buy the HS40
The HS40 is for hikers, campers and weekend tinkerers who want a light, bright, rechargeable headlamp that also works as a pocket flashlight. It is a great step up from a basic headlamp at a modest price.
Output and modes
The SST40 LED peaks at 2,000 lumens with a 175 m beam. Stepped modes and stepless ramping let you choose any level from 1 lumen for reading a map to full power.
Battery and charging
One 3,000 mAh 18650 battery is included, and a built-in USB-C port charges it in about 3 hours with a 2A adapter. A red LED shows charging and turns green when full.
Build and carry
The 6061 aluminum body is hard anodized to type III and rated IP68, with a 111 mm length and a 26 mm head. A nylon headband, two-way clip and magnetic tail cap give three ways to mount it.

Why we like it.
Bright and flexible
A 20W SST40 LED reaches 2,000 lumens and 175 m, with stepped modes and smooth ramping from 1 lumen up.
Very light
65 g without the battery and 115 g with it is easy to wear all day.
Headlamp and tool light
A right-angle body, two-way clip and magnetic tail cap let it clip to a pocket or stick to metal.
Tough and waterproof
IP68 waterproofing to 2 m and a hard-anodized aluminum body handle rain and drops.
Easy USB-C charging
The built-in port charges the included 3,000 mAh 18650 in about 3 hours, with a red and green indicator.
A few things to consider.
Single-emitter beam
One SST40 gives a focused beam rather than the wide flood of a multi-emitter headlamp.
No rear red light
It has no separate red mode; choose a headlamp with red LEDs if you need that.
Charging adapter not included
A 2A adapter is not included; a USB-A to USB-C cable is.
