In our office in Bled, you can find all sorts of alpine equipment rental, even the specific mountaineering gear that is essential for your type of hiking. A headlamp is a very useful and essential item for anyone who enjoys the outdoors. You may be caught by night while descending the mountain, enjoy running at night, or just need a light while camping outdoors. Therefore, we offer different headlamps for you to rent and light up your outdoor adventure.

Why is a headlamp useful?
Some people use flashlights or smartphones to light up their path, but having a headlamp will free your hands and make things much easier and more convenient. The headlamp has quite as powerful beam distance and brightness as a flashlight but is more practical in that matter. You can easily put it on your head and walk around, brightening your way.
How to choose the right headlamp?
– First, when choosing the right headlamp, you need to know for what purpose you will need it. Do you need it for mountaineering—typically for an early start before dawn or a late descent after sunset? Or, do you need it just for walking around the tent on the campsite at night?
– In the case of mountaineering, we recommend you choose a brighter headlamp with a broader light reach. That way, you can easily navigate whether you’re in a dark forest or on rocky terrain in the mountains.
– When choosing your headlamp, be sure to consider its battery life. Again, it depends on how long you will need it without recharging.
What are the additional useful headlamp features?
– The tilt: The ability to adjust it in all directions is great, especially when climbing or descending the mountain.
– Water resistance: Having an outdoor activity can also mean adjusting to any weather. So, in case of rain or even snow, this will make sure the headlamp will still work.
– Red light mode: Particularly useful at night, as it preserves night vision by preventing pupil contraction unlike white light.
