Most head torches have one light and one job. The Warsun rechargeable headlamp has three different lights in one small body: a pair of spotlights for walking, a wide panel light for jobs around camp and a red light. I paid $50 for it.

What You’re Getting
In the box are the lamp, an elastic headband with a clip plate, a rubber strap for a bike handlebar and a short USB charging cable. The lamp itself is a small grey block with two round spotlights on the front and a square panel light on top.

Three lights in one
The two spotlights on the front are the head torch part: a focused beam for walking and for seeing what’s further away. The listed beam distance is 200 metres.
The panel on top is the part that sets this lamp apart. It’s a square of small LEDs behind a frosted cover, and it gives a wide, even light for close work: cooking, reading a map or digging through a bag. The panel sits on a hinge and flips up, anywhere from flat to 90 degrees, so you can aim it without tilting your head. Spotlights and panel together give up to 800 lumens.
Between the two spotlights sits a small red light. The manual calls it a red warning light, and that’s what it’s for: being seen at the side of a track or a road, not for lighting things up.
Buttons and motion sensor
There are two buttons on the side. One is the power button, which steps through the modes. The other switches on the motion sensor: with that on, a wave of the hand in front of the lamp turns the light on or off. That’s handy with wet or dirty hands, or when you’re wearing gloves.
What it doesn’t have is a mode memory: when you switch it back on, it doesn’t return to the setting you used last, so you step through to the one you want again.
Wearing it
The lamp isn’t fixed to the headband. It slides onto a clip plate, and the same lamp slides off again to go somewhere else. The plate has a clip on the back, so it also hooks onto the peak of a cap or a strap. The box also has a rubber strap for a bike handlebar, so it can double as a bike light.
At about 60 g the lamp is light enough to wear for long periods, on your head, a cap or a helmet. As a bike light it’s fine for a casual evening ride, but it doesn’t match a dedicated bike headlight.
Battery and charging
The battery is built in: 1,800 mAh, good for up to 20 hours depending on the mode. On the brightest setting it drains quickly, so for a long evening it pays to turn it down. It charges through a USB-C port under a rubber cover, and a full charge takes about three hours. Three small dots next to the port show how much charge is left.
Because the battery is built in, you can’t swap in a fresh one when it runs out, and it can’t be replaced when it wears out over the years.
Next to our other head torches
Here it is between two rechargeable head torches we’ve reviewed, the Everbeam H6 Pro and the San Hima LED head torch. The Warsun is about the same size, and it’s the only one of the three with a panel light and a lamp that comes off the headband.
Conclusion: Warsun Rechargeable Headlamp
The Warsun rechargeable headlamp packs two spotlights, a flip-up panel light and a red warning light into one small lamp, for up to 800 lumens. It weighs about 60 g, clips onto a cap as well, has a motion sensor and recharges over USB-C in about three hours. The battery drains quickly on the brightest setting, there’s no mode memory, the battery is built in and it’s rated IPX5, so not for going under water. For campers, hikers and anglers who want a spotlight and a wide camp light on one headband, it’s a clever little unit.

- Campers
- Hikers
- Anglers
Yes. I paid $50, and for that you get a spotlight for walking and a wide panel light for jobs around camp in one head torch that weighs about 60 g. If you only want a simple head torch, there are cheaper ones.
