This means it is completely protected against dust ingress and can tolerate heavy rain and splashes from all directions. Featuring three color LEDs: white for all types of outdoor activities, red for preserving night vision, and orange, which is ideal for reading maps. The Discover Hybrid LED head torch can be used either with 3x AAA batteries (not included) or with a rechargeable Silva Hybrid Battery (included). All Silva Discover head torches are equipped with a 4-step battery indicator. The lamp house has been reinforced with rubber protection to increase shock resistance if accidentally dropped on hard surfaces. The optics of the headlamp are designed with Silva Intelligent Light, which is a combination of long-reach spotlight and close-range floodlight. This feature reduces head movement, leads to less fatigue and improves your balance when moving fast. MAX; 500 lm - 2 h burn time - 80 m light distance. MED: 100 lm - 5 h burn time - 20 m light distance. MIN: 15 lm - 25 h burn time - 7 m light distance. Included components: Lamp unit, Headband and a Quick guide. Batteries not included.
The Silva Discover Hybrid Headlamp is designed for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a versatile and durable lighting solution. Its key benefit lies in its hybrid power system, offering both rechargeable and disposable battery options, alongside intelligent lighting technology for optimal illumination. A minor caveat is that the AAA batteries are not included, requiring a separate purchase if not using the rechargeable option. This headlamp features a dust-tight and water-resistant design (IP65), three distinct LED colors (white, red, orange), and a reinforced build for shock resistance.

Troubleshooting
Headlamp does not turn on
Ensure batteries are correctly inserted with correct polarity, or that the rechargeable battery is charged. Check that the battery compartment is clean and free of debris. If using AAA batteries, try a fresh set.
Light output is dim or flickering
This may indicate low battery power. Check the 4-step battery indicator. Clean the battery contacts and the lens. If using rechargeable batteries, ensure they are fully charged.
Headlamp turns off unexpectedly
The battery may be depleted. Check the battery indicator. For extended use, consider using a fully charged rechargeable battery or fresh AAA batteries.
Water ingress detected
Although rated IP65, avoid deliberate submersion. If water is detected, immediately remove batteries, dry the unit thoroughly, and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting batteries or attempting to power on. Inspect seals for damage.
