#10 Best Headlamps for Night Fishing 2023

The Vont Spark Headlamp has 200 lumens of super bright LEDs and a 45-degree light throw. The Spark’s one-touch button makes it easy to switch between low, medium, high, and strobe light modes. This lets you choose the right power mode for your light depending on whether you need to see something close up, at a good distance, or far away. With the Spark on, you’ll be able to use both hands, and you won’t have to worry about the headband slipping because it has a high-quality, strong stretch.

If you want a headlamp that looks good and gives off a lot of light, the DanForce is the one for you. It has an excellent three-light design and an EVA non-sweat coating that can withstand sweat and the toughest conditions. The headlamp only has an IPX4 rating. This night fishing headlamp is plenty bright for your fishing trip, with 1080 lumens. You’ll be able to see at a reasonable distance and easily switch to medium or low power mode to save battery when you’re looking at something close up.

The Black Diamond Storm is a compact, light headlamp. It doesn’t mean it isn’t tough because, for such a small unit, it’s built very well. The Storm only weighs a little more than 3 ounces, so it’s easy to forget it’s on your head. In addition to being small, tough, and dust- and water-resistant, this unit has an IP67 rating. It is a great thing for a fishing headlamp to have.

For a headlamp to be comfortable, it mustn’t be too heavy. This night fishing headlamp is so light that you barely notice it on your head. Even though it is small and lightweight, it gives off a perfect 180 lumens and can run for two to just under ten hours. The light from the Streamlight comes from a chip-on-board (COB) LED, which makes a wide, even beam. It is splash-proof, which is less than many lights but usually enough for fishing as long as it doesn’t get submerged.

The Nitecore NU32’s battery charges quickly and gives light anywhere from one hour on the highest setting to 330 hours on the lowest one lumen. It also has a high Color Rendering Index (CRI) beam that looks like daylight to show colors and contrasts as they are. It also has a red setting that is less disturbing to wildlife and your night-adapted vision. Like many other headlamps, the NU32 can be angled down to shine light exactly where it’s needed.

The thing that makes HeroBeam unique to fishing is that it has a red LED with a wide beam. It means you can make a wide red glow in your area, which will help you see better and not scare away the fish. “Super Spot” is the name of one of the other lighting modes. It is the unit’s main light, and you use it for close work like tying your hooks and getting your tackle to read. This night fishing headlamp also has a motion activation mode that lets you turn it on by waving your hand in front of it.

At its brightest, the Fenix HM50R can put out 500 lumens for up to two hours. On its lowest setting, it can run for up to 128 hours. It’s made of aluminum, works with a simple push button, is waterproof to IP68 standards, and weighs just a little more than two ounces. It’s very helpful to take the light off the headband and use it as a small, 90-degree flashlight in your hand. It makes the HM50R useful both as a fishing headlamp and as a pocket torch you can carry with you every day.

The Nitecore HU60’s remote power pack can be kept in a warm pocket, where it will keep working no matter how cold it gets. The waterproof, rechargeable power pack can also be switched out for any USB power source, so you can keep enough juice with you to keep the light going for days. This night fishing headlamp can give off anywhere from 5 to 1600 lumens. There are spot and flood patterns for the LEDs to get the right amount of light for the job.

The Roam is an improvement on Princeton Tec’s diving headlamp. Its excellent water resistance will help you when you’re fishing in the rain or the surf. The 18-hour battery life should last for many trips, and batteries are easy to find. If there’s only one brightness level, it’s easy to use: turn the bezel on the light or loosen it off without going through other settings first.

The Coast FL13 has two levels of white light in a wide flood beam, red light for tasks that don’t affect your night vision and a red light that flashes and can be used as an emergency beacon. The low white light gives off 54 lumens, even on the lowest setting. The 13-hour runtime is enough for several trips. This night fishing headlamp has a water resistance rating of IPX4, which means it can handle a splash or a shower. The FL13 is nice because it is small and only weighs 2.3 ounces.
