An urban running head torch that is well-balanced and has an impressive max output of 600 lumens. It's a comfortable torch for prolonged periods and is incredibly low in weight and bulk.

Ledlenser says: 

The NEO5R offers a powerful light output and a customised light pattern that is specifically designed to illuminate both near and far. Its tilting headlamp allows you to adjust the light beam to your preference. By creating a balanced weight distribution of the light and the battery the NEO5R is comfortable to wear, even over a long period of time. The reflective headband and the red rear flashing light provides 360 visibility.

Our Verdict

Designed primarily as an urban running head torch, the Ledlenser NEO5R  is an excellent option for runners who want a lightweight and durable headlamp. It has a comfortable headband and a bright LED light that provides plenty of illumination for running in low-light conditions.  It has an incredibly powerful 600 lumens max output, considered a “boost mode”, that only lasts for 10 seconds or so, as well as a standard (300L), which would be your standard setting, a mid (100L) and a low (20L) output. 

It works well for backpacking and around the campsite, too. I am a big fan of a head torch with a Transportation Lock, as I have been in a situation when my head torch was completely depleted after accidentally being switched on in my rucksack. 

I feel the light at the front and battery pack at the back of the torch would be off-putting, having only ever used lamps that incorporate the battery, but I found the  NEO5R to be well-balanced, and I can see how that would be and advantage when running. 

The NEO5R includes a chest strap, so the torch can be worn at chest level if you prefer.
