Product Information
Full details
The Wiha Head Torch 500 Lumens is designed for tradespeople and professionals working in low-light environments who require hands-free illumination and versatile lighting modes. Its primary benefit is the combination of dual LED technology and motion-sensor control, which allows for precise, gesture-based operation when your hands are occupied or dirty; however, users should note that maintaining the maximum 500-lumen output will drain the battery significantly faster than the lower intensity settings.

FAQs
How long does it take to fully charge?
Charging times may vary based on your power source, but typical full-charge time via USB-C is approximately 3 to 4 hours.
Can I use both LEDs at the same time?
Yes, the device is designed to utilize both LEDs simultaneously to achieve the maximum 500-lumen output.
Is the headband washable?
Yes, the elastic headband can be removed from the light unit and washed with mild soap and water. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching.
Does the headlamp remember my last brightness setting?
The headlamp typically defaults to the last set brightness level if it was on for a significant period before being turned off.
Can I use the light while it is charging?
It is recommended to disconnect the power source before use to ensure the integrity of the USB-C port and cable.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on when using motion sensor
Ensure the motion sensor function is activated via the control button and that no physical obstructions are blocking the sensor range.
Brightness appears to fluctuate
The battery may be low; connect the device to a USB-C power source to fully recharge.
Headlamp slips off helmet during movement
Verify that the included helmet clips are properly seated on the helmet rim and the headband tension is tightened securely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the light for use, fully charge the internal battery via the USB-C port until the indicator shows a full charge. To attach the light to a hard hat or helmet, slide the provided helmet clips onto the rim and thread the headband through the slots to ensure a non-slip fit. When cleaning the lens, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to avoid scratches, as debris on the lens can scatter the light beam. Ensure the USB-C charging port cover is pressed firmly shut after charging to maintain the unit's resistance to dust and debris during work.
