#10 Best Headlamps for Hunting 2023

The USB-rechargeable Nitecore NU25 headlamp is an excellent choice for hike-in fishing or hunting trips to keep your pack weight down. It is a powerful little light. This hunting headlamp has three types of LEDs: white, red, and high CRI. Together, these three types add up to nine useful settings. It has a small battery, but if you stick to mid and low modes or don’t use it very often, it will last a long time.

The Petzl Tactikka +RGB easily changes the headlamp’s settings, which include three for the main white beam (proximity, movement, and distance) and three for night vision (red, green, and blue). This headlamp ran for more than 36 hours with three OEM Duracell AAA batteries. Even though the Tactikka +RGB has 150 fewer lumens than the Storm 500R, this beam was almost as bright and narrow at 30 yards as the Storm 500R’s. It is an excellent option for a hunting headlamp.

With 200 lumens, the Streamlight Enduro Pro is bright enough to get you where you need to go at night. And like other headlamps in this price range, it only has one different colored light. But depending on what color headlamp you buy, you can see in the dark in either red or green. The red light is on the yellow/black headlamp, while the green light is on the tan/black headlamp. The Enduro Pro is another excellent budget option if you’re watching your budget.

Clip a Bushnell TRKR to your hat if you’re connecting up a trailer or adjusting a hunting lease lock. Since this headlamp isn’t for setting up camp and walking to your blind before dawn, it doesn’t need to be too powerful. Its 85 lumens are suitable for tasks you can do with your arms stretched out. It’s a great piece of gear to keep in the truck if you need to fix something on the side of the road or take a random walk.

The FL75R Rechargeable Focusing LED hunting headlamp is, of course, rechargeable, but what’s even better is that the beam can be adjusted by twisting it. You can switch from Coast’s “Ultra View Flood Beam” to its “Bulls-Eye Spot Beam” by turning the optics around the lens. On high, the light output is a whopping 530 lumens, and the beam can reach as far as 156 meters. It comes with a battery pack, a USB charging cord, and AC and DC adapters. Also, it is waterproof up to the IPX4 level.

The Fenix HP25R v2.0 is the only flashlight you need if you need an insanely powerful beam that can reach far into the dark distance. Even though it might be too much for many hunting and fishing situations, it sure is an excellent piece of gear. This hunting headlamp can shine for more than 300 yards in its brightest setting. It will light up the darkness around you like a bolt of lightning. It also has a USB-C rechargeable battery with a crazy high capacity to run on low and medium settings for a long time.

If you want a headlamp but don’t have much money, the Cosmo 300 stands out from others at this price point. Like Black Diamond’s other headlamps, this one can do the same, but it costs less than half as much as their top-of-the-line models. The 300 lumens feel brighter than they are, and the red option is excellent for deer season when you want to stay out of sight in the woods.

The Ledlenser MH11 has everything you’d expect for its price: a long beam distance, a lot of different uses, RGB lenses for hunting and fishing, a big battery, and USB charging. This little horse can connect to Bluetooth, so users can program and save different settings, control the light from a distance, and even set the alarm on it from their phones. It comes with a feature called Optisense that can automatically change the brightness of the LED based on your surroundings.

Even though this might be a little too much and too tactical for a hunting headlamp, the SureFire Maximus is an excellent choice if you want something that will last. The Maximus, with its huge 1000 lumens, had the brightest beam. Because the brightness of this headlamp can be changed from 1 to 1000 lumens, you can use it on low or even half power for much longer. If you want a light that can handle anything you and nature can throw at it, the Maximus is a good choice.

Whether you want to hunt or fish, The Storm 400 from Black Diamond is the best headlamp. When set to its brightest setting, the Storm 400 is powerful, bright, and can easily light up tree stands and alpine lakes. Touching a touch-sensitive panel makes it easy to change how bright the screen is. It’s also easy to lock this headlamp, which will stop you from turning it on accidentally and draining the battery when it’s moving around in your backpack or pocket.
