Running lamps and lighting
When you go running in the dark, a good running lamp is essential. Run safely in the dark and stay visible with the right lighting.
Running lights for dark days
For those who combine work and running, it’s hard to avoid exercising before or after the workday. In summer, this isn’t a problem, but running in winter requires sufficient lighting. With the right lamp, you can see and be seen in the dark. There are various models of running lights: headlamps, waist lamps, and chest lamps.
Headlamps for running
A headlamp has the major advantage of the light moving with your line of sight. If you turn your head to the left, the light beam follows. This way, you always see where you run. One of our popular models is the Petzl NAO RL, one of which Runners' lab advisor and ultra-trailrunner Senne is enthousiast about. This headlamp is ultra-lightweight and has a bright lightning beam.
Chest lamps and waist lamps
Alternatives to headlamps while running, are chest lamps and waist lamps. These are worn around your chest or waist, respectively. Some runners find this more comfortable than wearing a light on their head. However, this type of light does not move with your line of sight.
