The quick answer

We recommend the UltraFire P2 for campers and hikers who want a bright, adjustable headlamp at about $31. Price $31.49. The partner record does not list eligibility for this product. Best for campers and hikers who want a bright, rechargeable headlamp that takes common 18650 or 21700 cells.

Our verdict

A 650-lumen headlamp with a 160 degree tilting head for $31.49.

We recommend the UltraFire P2 for campers and hikers who want a bright, adjustable headlamp at about $31. UltraFire lists 650 lumens, a 160 degree rotatable body so you can point the beam where you look, and four modes. It is powered by an 18650 that comes in the box, and it also accepts a 21700 or three AAA cells, which is useful when you need to swap power on a trip. A USB-C port charges the cell, the aluminum body has a 1.5 meter drop rating, and four helmet buckles are included. The trade-offs are an IPX4 rating that handles rain but not a dunk, and that the aluminum and battery add weight compared with a plastic headlamp.

Why we like it.

Point the beam where you look

The 160 degree rotatable body lets you angle the light down for reading or up for scanning, instead of tilting your whole head.

Flexible power

It takes the included 18650, a 21700, or three AAA cells, so you can swap in what you have on a trip and charge the rechargeable cells over USB-C.

Built tough

The hard-anodized aluminum body has a 1.5 meter drop rating, and four helmet buckles let you fit it to a helmet.

A few things to consider.

IPX4 only

It handles rain and splashes but is not for submersion.

No weight listed

UltraFire does not list a weight. An aluminum body with an 18650 will weigh more than a plastic headlamp, so check comfort for long wear.

Keep the battery safe

Use a quality protected 18650 or 21700 and a proper charger, and do not mix cell types.
