The hands-free motion sensor on the Rothco 600 Lumen Headlamp lets you activate or deactivate the light with a simple wave—critical when you're wearing tactical gloves, handling evidence, performing rescue operations, or your hands are covered in grease or blood. Unlike button-only headlamps, you won't fumble with controls during time-sensitive tasks. The sensor works reliably even in wet conditions thanks to the IP4X water-resistant rating.

Absolutely. The Rothco headlamp's 3-way elastic strap is specifically designed to secure over hard hats, helmets, and bump caps. The 90-degree tilt lets you aim the 600-lumen COB/CPE beam downward into manholes, upward into attics, or straight ahead during vehicle extrication—all while keeping the lamp stable on your headgear. The lightweight ABS body (0.25 lbs) won't cause neck fatigue during extended operations.

The dedicated red LED mode maintains your natural night vision adaptation, essential for law enforcement surveillance, military operations, or search-and-rescue missions where switching back to darkness is critical. Unlike white light that destroys night vision for 20+ minutes, red light lets you read maps, check equipment, or navigate without compromising your eyes' dark adaptation or revealing your position.

The Rothco headlamp's rechargeable battery delivers 3-6 hour runtime depending on mode selection. High mode (600 lumens with 150-foot beam distance) drains faster—ideal for active search or vehicle work. Low mode extends runtime significantly for perimeter checks, camp tasks, or extended patrols. The included micro USB cable lets you recharge from vehicle USB ports, solar banks, or wall adapters between shifts.

Yes. The dedicated Strobe mode provides a high-visibility distress signal visible up to 150 feet, perfect for marking your position during officer-down scenarios, vehicle breakdowns on roadways, or wilderness emergencies. The IP4X weather resistance ensures the strobe functions in rain or dust storms. Pair it with the lantern mode (area lighting) to create a visible staging zone for incoming rescue teams.
