The SnowMiner headlamp from Snow Peak is one of those innovative pieces that makes you ask yourself “Why has this not been thought of yet?”. Snow Peak is not traditionally known for headlamps, but for lanterns. Trust me when I say I hope the transition to headlamps is permanent. This headlamp absolutely rocks!

As with any great piece of gear, the SnowMiner is multi-functional in use and sets a standard for performance. There are settings on the headlamp that range from 80 lumens to 8 lumens (and everything in between), and even a strobe setting. As evidenced in the video, you can also pull down the “globe” for a functioning lantern or push it back in to use as a headlamp.

The battery life is definitely a plus as well. On the high setting, you will not have to change the batteries for a full 55 hours. On the lowest setting, this thing will remain glowing for 140 hours. That’s nearly 6 days!

All in all, the SnowMiner Headlamp is a must have for those in the market for a new headlamp.  And at $56, you will not have to break the bank to own one for yourself!
