Lupine Blika tested by The Pill

Performance and versatile headlamp suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities

One item to always have with you in the mountains is, without a shadow of a doubt, a headlamp. Running, climbing, walking, or pelting in the dark is exciting, but the experience changes dramatically when you have an advanced, premium headlamp like Blika, which is designed specifically to meet the widest range of needs in sports. Although the new Blika is smaller than the previous model, it has greater range and brightness: a highly focused frontal beam(with 2400 lumens) and a more diffuse level of light, as well as red and green light. Having more functions, the operating system is designed with two independently assignable buttons: the secondary FrontClick button has been improved so that it can be squeezed more nimbly, especially when wearing gloves. It’s also easy to turn it into a helmet lamp: no special tools are needed, but thanks to the ultra-flat mounting plate, 3M adhesive pad and hook-and-loop fastening system, the lamp simply clicks into place. We did not use it, but there is also the possibility to control the lamp through the 2-button Bluetooth remote control (optional), which allows you to quickly switch from one beam to another, or through the app. All of these functions are particularly convenient when using the Blika not so much as a front end but as tent lighting for example.
