Suprabeam says: 

The Suprabeam V4pro rechargeable is the most technologically advanced headlamp in Suprabeam history.

It has been developed based upon feedback and wishes from active sport exercisers, using headlamps in their daily workout. Based on their feedback we have created the ultimate headlamp, for active people craving the utmost when it comes to portable lighting.

Our Verdict

The Suprabeam V4pro 1000 is a powerful, versatile, rechargeable headlamp designed for active outdoor use. It pumps out up to 1000 lumens on max mode, casting an impressively bright and focused beam up to 250 meters.

The intelligent mixed spot/flood beam optic is a crucial feature, precisely engineered for running, hiking, and climbing activities. The 10-30 degree spot provides excellent distance visibility, while the surrounding flood illuminates your periphery.

Other clever features include a battery reserve mode to prevent sudden shut-off, dual headband/clip-on mounts for versatility, and USB charging. While not the most lightweight option, the power, beam optics and rechargeable design make it an excellent choice for night adventuring.

Features

• Mixed Beam Spot – Crafted and developed with the outdoor user in mind. Our lens is carefully designed by our engineers to create the best possible light setting for outdoor users while being active. Through feedback, adjustments and interviews with various fast-paced sport athletes, we found that a Mixed Beam Spot with a 10 to 30-degree spotlight, gave a visual advantage to the user. We combined this with an improved heat-sink to enable a higher peak volume and longer runtime with the maximal amount of lumen output.You will experience the difference first-hand when being outdoors during the early and late hours of the day, and will always be one step ahead. The design allows the lens in collaboration with the LED-chip to enhance and achieve an extraordinary beam, that pushes the boundaries of what a light can do
