Hyted 8 LEDs, 18,000 lumens stated, red rear light review

An eight-LED lamp claiming 18,000 lumens and publishing no runtime, no beam distance, no weight and no IP code behind the word waterproof.

The bottom line The rear red light is a real feature. The number on the front of the box has nothing standing behind it.

What this listing puts on record

A rechargeable head torch with eight LEDs, eight modes, a gesture sensor, a long-press off, a 90 degree tilting head and a separate rear battery box carrying a red warning light in steady and strobe.

The one figure it publishes

18,000 lumens, from eight emitters. That is the whole of the measured content of this listing.

What it does not publish

No runtime, at any of the eight modes. No beam distance, in metres or otherwise. No standard, so the lumen claim has no defined method behind it. No weight, on a lamp with a rear box. No IP code, behind the word waterproof.

The red light is a rear light

Worth being precise about: the red is on the battery box at the back, and it is described as a warning light. It makes you visible on a road. It is not the red front mode that lets you read a map without wrecking your night vision.

Before ordering

If the rear light is why you are buying, this lamp has it. If the 18,000 is why you are buying, there is nothing here to check it against.

What it does well, and where it gives way

Strengths

  • A red rear light on the battery box, steady and flashing, which is the feature that makes you visible from behind on a road
  • A 90 degree tilt and a sponge pad on the headband, described for wear rather than for the box
  • A long press that switches the lamp off from any mode, which saves cycling through eight of them

Compromises

  • An 18,000 lumen claim with no runtime, no beam distance and no measurement convention anywhere behind it
  • No IP code behind the word waterproof, on a lamp with a separate rear battery box
  • No weight published, and a rear box is exactly the design where the figure matters

What people ask before buying

What should I make of 18,000 lumens?

That it is a maker's figure with nothing attached. No convention is named, no beam distance is published and no runtime is given at any of the eight modes. Two lamps in this hub publish the same order of claim and neither publishes an hour figure either.

Is the red light usable in a tent?

It is described as a rear light on the battery box, steady or strobing — a warning light for being seen from behind. Nothing in the listing describes a red beam at the front, which is the mode that preserves night vision when you are reading a map.
