- Ben, from Snowys here folks, today,
with Solidline SH6R by Ledlenser Headlamp.
- [Band Master] Hit it. (jazz music)
Designed by Ledlenser, it is slightly speccd down,
so it has all the same qualities of a Ledlenser headlamp
with a few simpler features
and comes at a really affordable price.
Now, if you're looking for a headlight with a really nice,
focussable light that doesn't cost the earth,
this is a really good option,
the SH6R, by Ledlenser, or Solidline by Ledlenser.
Firstly, some of the features.
About 163 grammes with the battery inside here.
The battery's included, we'll show you more on that shortly.
You've got this strap around the outside,
cable attaching to the front.
Here's about a 36 millimetre or 3.6 centimetre diameter
on the head here, and this head tilts up and down as well.
Got a little button on the top here
that has all the functions to turn it on and off, et cetera,
I'll show you a bit more on that shortly.
The back here too, this is all made of plastic.
You've got a clip here to hold this battery pack,
and with your kit, when you buy it,
you also get a USB charging port,
which has got a little micro-USB slot there.
Which clips in or it plugs into the battery pack here,
so you can charge it through a say power bank or a laptop.
Sorry, a USB on a laptop or a computer.
Now, firstly, I'll just show you the comfort of the torch.
There is soft padding on the back panel here
that sits in the back of your head,
and also soft padding on the front here.
So when it sits on your head,
that helps to grip it a little bit, and also just makes it
a little bit more comfortable.
So bit of weight on the back there,
that's not too tight there at the moment.
Not so much a running headlamp,
because of the weight at the back.
But just for getting around camp, it's quite comfortable.
Now this a light on the front does tilt back and forward,
so I'm just gonna turn that on.
There now, so you can see
that it's right out in front of me.
And I can tilt that almost down to 90 degrees,
so it's pointing straight down in front of me there.
So that's pointing straight down at my feet
while I'm looking forward, so got a good range there.
I'll show you the focus function on the front here
before I go through all the features.
Now, it has got the polycarbonate lens here and it even
has Ledlenser's branding inside there at the moment,
so it is a really good quality focus mechanism in here.
Not quite the same quality as Ledlenser's high-end products,
I guess that's where a little bit of cost saving is.
But in terms of the light it gives from a flood,
you can't quite make it out there,
but that's a floodlight there, nice dispersed light.
And as you transfer between the two,
you do sort of get a few slightly dark patches in there,
but it's pretty good.
And it goes right down to a nice, neat, focused beam there.
So that's a smooth action just through
the head of the headlamp here.
You can just see the silver bezel on the front
of the layout here, just turns back and forward,
and that focuses the light in and out
nice and easily while it's on your head.
Now, I'll go through that button shortly,
I wanna show you the battery first.
So this unclips from the metal clip
on the back of the headlamp there.
So I guess you could, if you'd like,
take that off completely and use it separately,
or the band's easy to replace,
but this has done it for ease of charging the battery.
Now the battery is included.
There's a battery inside here that is released just by...
You see the little, um...
Sorry, getting my words muddled.
The little padlock symbol there,
we flip that around to the unlock section.
This portion comes off and inside there we've got,
it's a genuine Ledlenser lithium-ion
18650, 2500 milliamp hour battery.
So a decent size rechargeable battery that comes with it.
That sits inside there,
we do this up again, so just line up the arrow there
with the little unlock symbol there.
Slide it together, twist till it locks into place,
and then that clips on the back there.
It does have an IP54 waterproof or water-resistant rating
too, which means you can't submerge it,
but if you're using it say out in the rain,
around the campsite, it's gonna be fine.
It's also protected from most dust and stuff as well.
Now charging the battery, you'll know the battery
needs to be charged, because the light on the front here
will have three continuous blinks.
That means the battery inside is down to 10%.
When we turn this on...
, I'll flick it on now, we can see that on this rubber panel
that goes over the top of the point where the USB plugs in,
there's a little sorta Ledlenser symbol there,
a round symbol.
If we turn that on, we can see that will get a red now.
The red indicates by their guide
that the battery is almost flat, and it will be green
when the battery is actually charged up.
That's also an indicator when it's charging.
The red, while you've got the USB plugged in here,
it'll go green once the battery is actually charged up.
They say it's about 300 minutes of charge time
to charge the battery from flat right up to full.
Now, going onto how you actually use the torch,
is all through this button here.
And there's actually two different modes
you can put this torch or this headlamp into.
This is on mode one at the moment,
which means when I flick it on,
it goes immediately to the power setting, boosters.
And note, there's another way to enter boost,
will show you that shortly.
Second press, or sorry, do it again.
First press, boost, second press, low power,
and then off again.
Now you can change this between mode one and mode two.
If you hold down on this for five seconds, it'll blink once,
and that's the mode that it is currently in.
So first setting, there we go, one blink.
Eight seconds will blink twice,
now that's moved it to mode two.
Now this now means when I turn it on,
it's on the low setting first,
and then the bright setting second, and then off.
So we're changing the order of which the settings go to.
So this one we've got low, bright, off.
Now to change it back to mode one.
So I've got bright, low, then off.
I hold down till I get one blink, it's about five seconds.
I'm gonna see one blink there, we now have onto bright,
low, and then off.
Now in terms of the settings and lumens, first,
we've gotta show you how to put this into boost mode,
'cause there's a boost of power in the low mode.
So two quick presses puts it into boost,
so that's our brightest sitting there.
I'm just gonna zoom in to show you
the nice bright light there.
You can put it into boost setting from any point.
So if I turn that off and I just turn that on,
that's now high power.
A double press from here puts it into boost.
You can see it brightens up slightly.
So that boost setting is 600 lumens
at about 300 metres beam distance.
When I turn it off, or it goes down one...
Sorry, that's now the power setting.
250 lumens, 200 metres beam distance,
about five hours runtime.
They don't give a runtime for the boost setting, sorry.
Press it again.
Actually, I've just gotta scroll through,
down to the low power setting.
There we go, there is 30 lumens, 50 minutes beam distance,
and about 50 hours of runtime.
And it turns off again after the next press.
So quite easy function through that one button
on the front there.
Double press to get into the boost mode
if you want the brightest setting straight away.
One press to turn into the power mode.
And if you wanna go to that low mode first,
just hold down on that top button there to switch it over
to mode two, so that you put the low mode on first.
That is the Solidline SH6R Headlamp from, or made by,
designed by Ledlenser.
Kinda got all the Ledlenser qualities, a lot of
the Ledlenser features, but a slightly simplified version,
so it makes it much more affordable to buy for camping
or any sort of outdoor activity.
