In 2012 US outdoor specialist Brunton presents a new series of five headlamps. Electricity supply and charging of the GLACIER 320, 200 and 115 is now possible via USB adapter. Plus: the lamps come with Brunton SyncTechTM, an especially conceptualized system for the combined use of Brunton Power Packs and solar panels.Named SyncTech™ US outdoor specialist Brunton offers full system integration for the product range: technologies of solar cells, portable power packs and lamps are coordinated accurately. For more flexibility in terms of electricity supply the three top versions have an USB adapter for actuating and charging. That means: every conducting USB port – for example every PC – can be used as a power source for the headlamps.

Brunton equips all lamps with an energy management system. With decreasing battery the shining power reduces automatically so you won’t be standing in the dark all of a sudden.

No battery at all is used inside the top version Glacier 320. Instead the headlamp comes with the Inspire Power Pack, which works like an external battery compartment. Advantage: one can “wear” the power pack – in a backpack, trousers or jacket – depending on the intended use.

Beneath the Glacier 320 Brunton has settled the Glacier 200. This lamp has an integrated rechargable battery but with the combined usage of an Inspire or a ReSync power pack the running time can be considerably extended.

The Glacier 115 is a true multi-talent. It works with regular as well as with rechargeable batteries. For recharging the latter it’s not even necessary to take them out – thanks to SyncTechTM you can charge it with the USB-port directly “inside“ the lamp.

The smallest headlamps of the new series – the Glacier 69 and the Glacier 49 have no USB-port but thanks to the Nichia LEDs they also shine as bright as their bigger brothers.

The suggested retail price for the USB rechargeable headlamps: Glacier 320 115.- Euro, Glacier 200 65.- Euro and Glacier 115 55.- Euro. The smaller versions cost 28.- Euro (Glacier 69) and 18.- Euro (Glacier 49). The numbers next to the names indicate maximum beam in feet.
