Well-known flexible tripod stand maker Joby has now created a new line of flashlights and lanterns to add to its product range.
The Switchback is a waterproof two-piece device that transforms from a lantern into a high-performance headlamp complete with a headstrap and battery pack on the rear.
Innovative Lighting Technology
Switchback uses five powerful LED bulbs to create its illumination. These LEDs are capable of producing a floodlight when more light is required or a red light for night vision. The light output is adjustable from 5 to 130 lumens, making it versatile for various lighting needs. Whether you’re camping, hiking, or working in low-light conditions, the Switchback provides the right amount of light for any situation.
On a full charge, the headtorch-come-lantern is able to provide up to 72 hours of illumination. This extended battery life ensures that you won’t be left in the dark during extended outdoor adventures or emergency situations. The device is powered by a rechargeable battery pack, which can be easily recharged using a standard USB cable.
Durable and Versatile Design
The lantern and headlamp are constructed from rugged ABS plastic, nylon, and polycarbonate, ensuring durability and longevity. The aluminum headlamp housing and 92% ultra-efficient holographic lens contribute to the device’s high performance and reliability. The stand is made from ABS plastic with TPE grip rings and feet, providing stability and ease of use. The Switchback is also water-resistant with an IPX-4 rating, making it suitable for use in various weather conditions.
The versatility of the Switchback is further enhanced by its design. The headlamp can be easily detached from the lantern base and worn on the head using the included headstrap. This feature is particularly useful for activities that require hands-free lighting, such as climbing, fishing, or working on tasks in the dark. The lantern mode is perfect for illuminating larger areas, such as campsites or workspaces.
In addition to its practical features, the Switchback also boasts a sleek and modern design. Its compact size and lightweight construction make it easy to carry and store, whether you’re packing it in a backpack or keeping it in a toolbox. The device’s intuitive controls and adjustable settings ensure that users can easily customize the lighting to suit their needs.
It’s now available to purchase from Joby for £49
