FAQ

No. They are taken without any changes or adjustments. What mostly makes the difference is that this lamp is at belt level instead of at the forehead. What the pictures tells, you can test by yourself with any lamp on a bit rough ground, by holding it at the forehead, and then at the belt level and compare. Hikebeam is even better, with more possibilities and advantages! The difference can be compared with the difference between high beam an low beam on a car in mist and fog. Hikebeam is enlighting the ground only, not the fog, rain or snow in front of the eyes. This makes a great difference!

Yes – if you really like to have an uncomfortable pressure against the head from a lamp you feel has some weight, that easily slide out of position and makes it diffcult to wear a cap, hood or other clothing on the head. And if you prefer to have a lamp that illuminate mist and fog, rain, snow and breath in front of your eyes – making it difficult to see by such conditions (compare holding your lamp at the belt level!). And if you find it better to have a lamp that easily makes you stumble because you don´t see the details in the terrain well, and if you like to move just a spot of light around with the neck to change from distance to near. And if you find it pleasant to blind others and become blinded by the headlamp of others. And if it is fine to you with sweat headbands and you find it nice to attract insects to your face. And if you can´t bear the thought of a lamp that does not ruin your hairdo, and a lamp that you can put as a spotlight or a soft lightsource inside a tent or a cabine, without blinding you – and also gives you flexibility on battery capasity. If you really prefer the disadvantages with headlamps and do not want something better – then headlamp is the best solution!

Because the lamp is closer to the ground, and it also has a reflecting shade, enhancing the lighting in the whole area close to you. It also has Widebeam™ as an unique effect with illumination 180° to the sides. The light that normally shines upwards and is of no use on normal lamps, is instead is reflected down to the ground. Because of this you also cease blinding others, and at the same time you are much less disturbed by mist, fog, breath, snow, rain etc. And you will on top of that get a fantastic 3D-effect in the terrain! It also has a Widebeam™ 180° lighting as a unique effect.

With a torch you get the light mostly on one side, and the light is jumpy and disturbing. With Hikebeam in a belt you have the hands free, and you get continuous lighting in the whole area close to you and onwards, with 3D-effect, and without blinding others.

Because a point a little above the waist is the very best place to have a lamp! The lamp then comes closer to the ground and gives a continous lighting in the whole area close to you, with 3D-effect and without disturbances from fog, rain, snow or breath. Just test to hold a lamp there! There is no discomfort, compared with a “belt” around the head, and it feels like the lamp has no weight at all. If you put the belt a little higher on the belly, you can easier hold things and bend down and are free to use the pockets in a jacket etc.

They probably have not tried the new Hikebeam® from Beltlamp AS yet.

Many people have experienced that headlamps gives an uncomfortable pressure against the head, and it often is a problem when you try to wear a cap, hood, helmet etc. A headlamp also easily is slipping from the wanted position, and you have to use the neck to move a spot of light around you. Fog, mist, snow, rain and breath in front of the eyes gives disturbances and reduces sight when using headlamp. Hikebeam solve all those problems! It is like a miracle! Everybody can test by themselves, with any lamp, the difference with the lamp at the belt level instead of at the forehead.

Yes – continuous lighting with 3D-effect and without blinding people you are together with or meet, and without disturbance from snow, mist, breath etc. Everybody who try it, with any lamp, can get an impression of the difference it makes!

No, just try! A separate belt a little above the waist is recommended. Then you don´t feel any weight from the lamp at all. Often you can put the lamp in a belt you already have, on a sack, a uniform or a belt for tools etc.

We wonder, as well! Exactly the same question can be asked for many inventions. For hundreds and thousands of years people has been carrying suitcases etc. But in our time some people got the idea to put wheels on them, and on garbage bins as well. An invention from the stoneage was reinvented in our days! Lamps of all kinds has been made for centuries. Very few has discovered that they give the best effect from the belt level. Why? We have no answer to that.

Many people will find it favorable also for running, even if it primarily has been developed for hiking. There may be individual differences. It is a great advantage to lighten the whole area around you! Then you can see where you put the feet. And you have no discomfort by having something attached to the head, and less disturbance from mist etc. We will recommend step 4 with Widebeam™ for running. This also is the best when walking in steep tracks, and in fog, snow etc.

Yes, absolutely! It is a superb advantage. It can as well be hung in a string etc.

We recommend and guarantee for use of the original powerbank only, and can not cover any risk by using other sources. You can have several Hikebeam-powerbanks and change, if you need the lamp for very long time. You then can charge our powerbanks from an other USB powersource, PC etc. as you want.

Yes. Normally you will avoid it. But small children walking with taller people can still be blinded. By adjusting the lamp, you can avoid that children or people you meet become blinded. If children walks right beside you, they can avoid blinding and also share the wonderful lighting from you. Remember to be considerate! It also i easy to avoid blinding of animals like horse and cow, and by tilting you can also be considerate to other animals as well. We know no other lamp with this possibility.

When used correctly, you almost always will find advantages only. On this website there is much information on that.

By some kind of work or activity it is better to have the belt fastened a bit higher on the body. With some flexible adjustments we believe it is rear that you will not find great advantages when using Hikebeam.
