The latest Dingo is here, the Wolf Eyes Dingo21 Rechargeable Headlamp. The Dingo21 brings USB charging and also a much larger battery to the Dingo Headlamp. In this case the HDB217 battery is 5300mah compared to the previous HDB168 with 3400mah - this means the new Dingo 21 now runs for 216 hours on low. It is now just a little more powerful  but even on that high it lasts for 4 hours 10 minutes.

The RED headlamps are the choice of those involved in animal welfare, using thermals, wildlife observation or those doing research. The RED wavelength used in these headlamps doesn't disturb the animals but gives enough visibility for us to see.

The Wolf Eyes Dingo21 RED Rechargeable Headlamp with two lenses, no lens mode and including battery and charger. This LED rechargeable headlamp comes with two different lenses, one for medium distance and one for long distance, utilises Wolf Eyes rechargeable batteries and is fully controllable from the front. 

The Dingo21 LED Rechargeable Headlamp is supplied with two different lenses to give you three choices of beams from your Dingo21 headlamp. There is a long distance tele lens perfect for distant viewing, it provides a spot to highlight wild dogs or foxes into the distance. This lens is adjustable by sliding from spot to a flood from 11 degrees to 50 degrees. Also in the kit is a wide angle lens, this produces a very broad spot out to shorter distances, say 40 metres, Again this lens can also be adjusted by sliding, from 50 degrees to 76 degrees. Due to an innovative glass cover over the LED which makes it splashproof, the Dingo rechargeable headlamp can also be used in "No Lens" mode.  This provides a very, very even light over about 160 degrees with no spot. On high beam this is like a RED fluoro out to about 3 metres, on the different levels perfect for close work or tasks like eating, medical emergencies, reading, etc. A fabulous mode for those who do close work or use their LED headlamp near or facing others, the red is much easier on others eyes than white.

All the controls for the headlamp are on the front of the Dingo21, for easy access and positive control. There are 4 levels (High, Medium, MediumLow, Low) and strobe, all easily accessed by twisting the front bezel. The bezel can also be slid forward and back to control focus of the two lenses. The headlamp bezel can also be tilted easily by the user. Every controls is in front for safety and more control by the user of the headlamp. Most people are more familiar with using their hands in front of them rather than behind.

The Dingo21 LED Rechargeable Headlamp utilises the very light and powerful Wolf Eyes HDB217 lithium ion rechargeable battery ( it can also use 2 x CR123 non rechargeable batteries).  As with all Wolf Eyes products this headlamp is regulated, so the light doesn't fade when in use.  Due to the power of the battery, only one is required, making for a lighter and more manoeuvrable battery pack. Operating voltage 2.7V to 6V.

The Wolf Eyes rechargeable battery provides 3 hours of runtime on High, 5 hours 50 minutes on Medium, 18 hours on Medium Low and 148 hours on Low. Being a lithium ion rechargeable battery it also works in sub zero conditions.

The front bezel is constructed of aircraft grade aluminium with cooling fins built in so you don't overheat your LED (if an LED is overheated it has a permanently reduced output), aslo combined with the insulated pad keeps heat from being transferred to your head. The Dingo21 headtorch utilises a 830 lumen LED with 583 lumens out the front. There is a large control knob on the base of the bezel with positive and broad clicks built in at each level, suitable to be used with gloved hands. You can also slide this bezel forward to adjust the flood and spot of either of the two supplied lenses. This bezel is attached by an adjustable bracket to an insulated pad, which connects the adjustable, elasticised headband and top strap. At the rear, to keep things evenly balanced, is the very light single battery holder. Being only a single battery means the battery pack doesn’t bang on your head (especially when running or moving fast) like some other headlamps.

The Dingo21 RED, the LED Rechargeable Headlamp perfect for when you are trying to view wildlife or observe animals without them observing you.
