Headlamps and torches
A reliable headlamp is one of the most useful pieces of camping and travel gear you can own — it keeps your hands free for setting up camp, navigating trails at night, and dealing with power outages. This collection covers rechargeable headtorches and LED lanterns from Black Diamond, the benchmark brand for outdoor lighting.
Travel Gear ships from our Charlestown NSW warehouse with fast delivery across Australia.

What to Look for in a Headlamp
-
Lumens: 100–200 lumens is sufficient for most camping tasks; 300+ lumens for trail running and technical hiking
-
Waterproofing: IPX4 (splash-resistant) for general camping; IPX8 (submersible) for wet conditions and water activities
-
Beam type: Spot beam for distance; flood beam for close-up tasks; most quality headlamps offer both
-
Battery life: Check the runtime at the brightness level you'll actually use — maximum brightness drains batteries significantly faster
