Torches

Essential as soon as light levels drop, a torch is basic equipment for hiking, wild camping or camping. Whether navigating, setting up camp or handling the unexpected, reliable lighting can make all the difference.

At RayonRando, we have selected powerful, compact torches suited to outdoor use, for every terrain from night walks to demanding treks.

Why use a torch when hiking?

Even during the day, a torch remains essential safety equipment.

It lets you see clearly on poorly visible trails, navigate when returning late, set up camp after sunset, handle emergencies and remain visible to others

-> A good torch means safety and comfort above all.

How should you choose a hiking torch?

Torches are not all equal. Here are the key criteria for making the right choice.

  • Power: The higher the lumen output, the brighter the light.
  • Battery life: Check the modes, such as eco, standard and boost. When wild camping or trekking, battery life becomes a priority.
  • Rechargeable or replaceable batteries? USB rechargeable: practical and economical / Replaceable batteries: useful as backup or in remote areas
  • Water resistance: IPX4 rating -> splash resistance
  • Weight and packed size: Choose a compact, lightweight torch

Torch or headtorch: which should you choose?

The two complement each other.

Torch: More powerful, better reach, ideal for exploring or signalling

Headtorch: Hands free, perfect for cooking or walking

In practice, many hikers use both.
