Lucido TR1 Headlamp
Tester Information
I began hiking frequently in 2006 and have since hiked in Western Canada, Australia, and spent 2 months backpacking in the Alps. I spend most weekends either day-hiking or on 2-3 day backpacking trips, with some longer trips when I can manage them. I also snowshoe and ski in the winter, but don’t have a lot of experience with winter in the backcountry yet. Elevation is typically 500-3,000 m (1,600-10,000 ft), in the Canadian Rockies and the Selkirk, Purcell, and Monashee ranges. I try for a light pack, but I don’t consider myself a lightweight backpacker. Product Information
Description The Mammut Lucido headlamp is an LED headlamp which features 4 LEDs. It has 2 light settings: low and high. The manufacturer specifies that on high, the light range is 20 m (66 ft) with a battery life of 25 hours, while on low the light range is 12 m (39 ft) with a battery life of 60 hours. Mammut also tells me that the angle of the floodlight is 45 degrees. The headlamp is specified to be water resistant, with no further detail.The button to operate the headlamp is on the left side of the light. Pushing it once turns the light on low, and pushing it a second time turns the light on high. Pushing the button a third time pushes the light off. The Lucido has an emergency and battery check function as well. By pushing and holding down the button, the light will start to flash. If the light blinks three times, the battery is at high capacity, two blinks means medium capacity, and one blink means low capacity. I can turn off the strobe by pushing the button again. Next to the button, towards the LEDs, is a switch lock, which rotates up and down. When the lock is up, the light can be operated. When the lock is down, it prevents depressing the button so that the light cannot be turned on accidentally. The head of the light, which contains the four LEDs, swivels freely within a range. The light comes with an elastic headband which is adjustable. The battery cover, which is the back of the case, snaps into place and can be removed by pulling on the slight notch at the top of it. Inside the battery case, there are markings showing which direction the batteries are supposed to go in. The top of the lamp has the Mammut name printed into the plastic, and “Lucido” is printed on the back of the battery case. Field Conditions I got the Mammut Lucido TR1 headlamp in 2010 and it has been a great headlamp for me since then. I have worn it for hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, rope rescue, and caving. It spends a lot of time in my Search & Rescue pack “just in case”, especially in the summer when I’m not using it regularly for cross-country skiing at night. I’ve used it about twenty times for activities at night. In addition, I used the Lucido as my primary headlamp on a 5-day cave/rope rescue workshop, which included two days of caving and rescue scenarios in the cave. I have used the Lucido in snow, clear conditions, mud, and in temperatures ranging from -30 C (-22 F) to about 20 C (68 F).Review Summary
