When running in the forest all night, a headlamp is extremely important. Mod has trouble during downhill sections. It takes a very bright light to feel confident enough to pick up speed, as she is afraid of slipping and falling during a race... which is something she just can't seem to overcome.
- I've tried many different headlamps, but I still haven't found one I really like. The one I'm currently using loses brightness during long downhill runs, dropping from 600 lm to 200 lm in just a few minutes, so it doesn't really meet my needs. During my last race, I realized I needed to replace it because I couldn't clearly see the loose rocks on the ground, so I didn't dare place my feet.

Then I had a chance to chat with Admin Chai Khwanchai Jaidee He recommended Runnercart recommended the Fenix HM 65R-T V2 and let me try it. It has two light colors (it's cool that it can switch between two colors)
- White light has 3 levels: 1600 lm (3 hr), 400 lm (12 hr), 130 lm (24 hr)
- Yellow light also has 3 levels for people who don't like white light because it hurts their eyes
- For Mod, it really meets her needs because the medium to maximum light can shine up to 83–170 meters
The head strap is very light and has a locking dial similar to the BOA system, making it very easy to use
- As for its weakness, Mod thinks that having the battery and light at the front makes it feel a bit front-heavy. It weighs 140 grams, which is lighter than the Led Lenser MH10.
** Battery life also decreases depending on the temperature. If it's colder than 21°C
If any runners are interested, give it a try. It's available at Runnercart You can ask the admin for more information. This shop responds and ships very quickly.
Oh… and importantly, the shop also has headlamps for trail running available for rent. Try asking for more information.
