Explorer HL-10 2,550 Lumen White/Red/IR Headlamp

Hands-free light for real adventures.
The Powertac Explorer HL-10 is a serious headlamp that pushes up to 2,550 lumens and gives you white, red, and IR output in one compact package. It’s built for campers, hunters, and tactical users who need both long-range spotting and low-profile “don’t blow your night vision” light.

With Powertac’s J-Hook buckle system, the HL-10 mounts anywhere you can clip a GoPro — helmet, pack strap, chest rig, bike bars and more. The head pivots through a wide range of motion so you can dial the beam where you need it, whether you’re glassing a hillside or digging through camp gear at night.
