- Jake from Snowys here.
Today, I've got the Knog Bandicoot Run 250 Headlamp.
(upbeat music)
It's a lightweight Silicon headlamp.
It's USB rechargeable, easy to use,
and it's designed for runners.
So the Bandicoot Run weighs about 60 grammes.
It's made from a one-piece Silicon design
and it's adjustable with this little toggle here.
So you've got a head circumference of 33 to 66 centimetres,
adjusting it right down to small heads.
Perfect for kids,
right up to the adult size.
I'll just pop it on my head there.
So it's very comfortable, easy to use, easy to adjust,
and you can just set it and forget it.
This torch is designed for running.
So it's designed for movement.
So it stays on your head, nice and firmly.
Yeah, it's nice and comfortable.
And that comes through the stretchy Silicon.
And it also comes with this little bit of foam padding
on the back of the pod.
Now just pop this pot out,
and this is to show you how it's USB rechargeable.
So you've got your USB here.
So no cables required, no cables to lose.
You can charge it up on any USB A outlet.
I've got a little power bank here, so I can just pop it in.
And you'll see these little charging indicator lights
along the bottom here.
So 25 percent, 50 percent, 75 percent,
and almost a 100% as I'm charging here.
Takes around four hours to fully charge you this.
I'll just show you how to pop it back
into the Silicon headlamp strap.
But before I do that,
just talk about some waterproof rating.
So the Silicon and self is waterproof.
It's not going to get waterlogged.
So it keeps the water in the sweat out.
And you can wash that if you need to.
The pod unit here is IP 67 rating.
So that means it's waterproof for one metre for 30 minutes
to pop it back in the headlamp strap.
You just need to pop the USB charging bit in first
and get that locked in.
And because it's transparent,
you can see that go in
and you just pop the rest of the pot in there.
And that's good to go.
Now I'll just go through a few of the modes, I guess,
and tell you about some of the unique features
of this headlamp.
So to turn it on,
you just need to hold it down for a long push.
And it goes into the mode where you left off.
For this one, I've got it on the spot mode or the high beam.
You change your modes by pressing the right button.
We've got a wide beam or a ambient beam over here,
and that's perfect for just going on the trail,
not for distance good for around the campsite as well.
You've got a red light beam here,
so it's not the brightest red light I've seen,
but it's perfect for a bit of night reading.
Speaking of reading, they've put a reading mode in here.
So you've got this little sort of warm white LEDs down here.
They are the ones for the battery indicator,
but they double as a reading light.
So that's perfect in the tent at night
where you're trying to read or even for cooking.
And then you go back to the main spot beam,
now to get the maximum 250 lumens,
you just need to do a double click of them,
the main button here,
and you've got both lights lighting up there.
That's where you get 250 lumens.
You get a run time of
between eight and 28 hours on that setting.
To click out of that,
you just need to press the main button again.
On the spot you get, between 12 and 36 hours, 200 lumens.
On the wide or ambient one, you get 50 lemons
and you get 22 to 70 hours,
depending on the intensity of the light you've set.
The red light over here,
you get four lumens and anywhere between 25 and 72 hours,
and the reading light gives you between 32 and 105 hours
and six lumen output.
I talked about changing the intensity.
You use the left button to do that,
and you do that on all modes.
So you're just pushing it down.
You go from the maximum setting through to high,
medium,
low,
and back up again.
This has a unique feature.
This Silicon headlamp,
and as you can see, it's a clear, transparent Silicon.
And what that does is it allows the light to transmit
out of the side of it.
By pressing that button twice, you've got a red light.
So this allows you to be visible while you're running,
to other road users or other trail users.
It's for you to see with the main light
and for you to be seen with these lights.
Now you can have them static,
just a red light,
or you can have them,
flashing as well,
or you can have them off.
And that's all done through two clicks of the left button.
Now each mode you're in,
you can step down the light
and whatever mode you leave it on and lock it.
It'll turn back on and remember where you were.
So I'll just show you how to lock this.
Now you just need to turn it off and hold down.
Both buttons for a couple of seconds,
and you'll see a red light flash.
So now that's locked
and that means it won't turn on accidentally
in your backpack or floating around in the car.
So I can hit any button and the red light will flash,
but it's not going to turn on and drain that battery.
To unlock it you just push both buttons down again.
You'll get a double flash of one of the white lights there.
So that's back on and ready to go.
And I can test the battery, Actually.
I can just look at these little ones here,
quick click it flashes the lights down there,
just to give me a battery indicator.
So this one's fully charged at the moment.
100 percent.
Now turn the headlight back on.
You're just doing a long hold of the, main button again.
Now I took, I didn't talk about this before,
but dimensions of the Pot are about
eight centimetres wide,
by about two and a half centimetres,
by two and a half centimetres.
So the Bandicoot Run comes with heaps of features,
light modes in different settings
to tailor it to your needs.
But if you want to customise it even further,
you can go to the Knog website, download the mode maker app,
and you can fully customise drag and drop
different options into it.
Just do that via the USB and your computer.
I just want to say this is designed for runners
with running in mind,
but it's also perfect for cycling
or for adding a bit of extra visibility at night.
Obvious one while I'm riding my bike with the red light,
just for a bit of extra safety and visibility.
So it's about being seen by other users.
It comes in a range of other colours
and it's available from snowys.com.au,
where you get low prices every day.
