Product details
The Ledlenser HF8R Work is the robust flagship for anyone working in the dark. The highlight: The patented Adaptive Light Beam technology allows for automatic dimming and focusing. This makes the HF8R the first headlamp that can be used completely hands-free without any manual control required. Thanks to the patented Digital Advanced Focus System, it is almost continuously adjustable in focus. Additionally, the HF8R Work can be remotely controlled via the Ledlenser Connect app and impresses with its aluminum housing and protective elements on the front glass.
