  Product Description
The Vango Flux headtorch delivers 150 lumens on its high setting through a premium CREE LED that produces a clean white beam. What sets it apart is the collimator lens technology, which projects light over longer distances whilst maintaining soft peripheral illumination for a wider field of vision. This means you'll spot trail markers or tent pegs ahead without losing awareness of your immediate surroundings. The front-mounted red LED preserves your night vision when you're checking maps or moving around camp after dark, and the head unit tilts up and down so you can direct the beam exactly where you need it.

This headtorch works as a versatile lighting tool because it detaches from its elasticated headband and clips onto webbing, tent pockets, or rucksack straps. Campers often clip it inside their tent for hands-free reading or cooking, whilst hikers appreciate being able to attach it to pack straps when they need forward lighting without wearing it on their head. The comfortable headband sits securely without causing pressure points during extended use, which matters on multi-day trips or when you're wearing it over a beanie in cold weather.

The Flux runs on three AAA batteries (Energizer batteries included), which are widely available and easy to replace on longer expeditions. At 150 lumens, it sits in the mid-range power bracket, providing sufficient illumination for most camping and hiking activities without the bulk or battery drain of more powerful models. The beam distance and peripheral spread work well for navigating campsites, setting up tents in fading light, or walking established trails after sunset. This model is ideal for everyday outdoor adventures rather than technical climbs or extreme environments that require ultra-high lumen outputs or specialist beam patterns.

Frequently Asked Questions


What does the collimator lens do on the Vango Flux?
The collimator lens shapes the light beam to project further ahead whilst maintaining soft peripheral lighting around the edges. This gives you distance visibility for spotting obstacles or following trails, combined with a wider field of vision so you can see what's immediately around you. Standard reflector headtorches often create either a tight spotlight or wide flood, but the collimator lens balances both.
How long do the batteries last in the Flux headtorch?
Battery life depends on which mode you're using. Running on high (150 lumens) drains the three AAA batteries faster than lower settings. Most users get several hours on high power, with significantly longer runtime on reduced brightness modes. The included Energizer batteries provide decent initial runtime, and AAAs are straightforward to replace or pack as spares.
Can the Vango Flux headtorch be used in wet weather?
The Flux handles typical camping conditions including light rain and damp environments. It's built for outdoor use but doesn't carry an IPX8 submersion rating. You can wear it in drizzle or misty conditions without problems, though it's not designed for heavy downpours or submersion in water. The battery compartment seals well enough for normal camping exposure.
What's the red light function for on the Vango Flux?
Red light preserves your night vision because it doesn't cause your pupils to constrict like white light does. When you're moving around camp after dark or checking navigation in the middle of the night, switching to red means your eyes stay adjusted to darkness. This matters when you need to see stars for navigation, spot wildlife, or simply avoid disturbing tent mates with bright white light.
How do you detach the Flux from the headband?
The light unit clips in and out of the headband mount using a simple release mechanism. Once detached, there's a built-in clip on the back of the unit that attaches to webbing, tent loops, or pack straps. This lets you use it as a handheld torch, clip it inside your tent for ambient lighting, or attach it to gear when you need hands-free illumination without wearing the headband.
Is 150 lumens enough for hiking at night?
150 lumens works well for established trails, campsite navigation, and general hiking on familiar paths. It provides sufficient illumination to see the ground ahead, spot trail markers, and avoid obstacles. For technical terrain, off-trail navigation, or fast-paced night hiking, some people prefer 200+ lumens. The Flux sits in the practical middle ground where you get adequate light output without excessive battery consumption or weight.
Does the Vango Flux have different brightness settings?
The Flux features multiple output modes that let you adjust brightness based on your needs. The high setting delivers 150 lumens for maximum illumination, whilst lower settings extend battery life when you need less light. You cycle through modes using the button on the unit. Most campers use high for active hiking or camp setup, then switch to lower modes for reading or ambient lighting to conserve batteries.
