Summary
Fall is coming and so are the days with noticeably shorter daylight. So it's time to start thinking about the proper flashlight for your journeys through the darkness.
During testing, the Sofirn HS22 has proven to be an excellent headlamp. Depending on your needs, you can choose a focused spotlight with an effective throw of over 100 meters, a wide floodlight delivering up to 2000 lumens, or a combination of both. The floodlight’s color temperature is smoothly adjustable, allowing you to adapt the light to different situations. Two conveniently placed buttons ensure easy operation, even when wearing gloves.
The charging indicator switches to green a bit early, even though the charging process isn’t finished yet (but just a few percent are missing). An additional red light would have been a nice touch.

German review on my website
Nice review. Light is currently about US$ 37 after 20% coupon. Seems kind of niche. I'm still very impressed with the economical HL25 series lights. I have the L and LR versions and both have their purposes. The HS22 looks somewhat similar but doesn't seem like part of the same series.
