Lab data · STORMLIGHT HEADLAMPS

What "9,050 lumens" actually means.

Most manufacturers publish a 30-second peak — the brightest moment before the lamp heats up and dims. We publish what you get at operating temperature, sustained for the rated runtime. Same lumens on the box and on the trail.

PRO/SPORT 700

725 lm · 90 min held → 60 lm · 120 min

PRO/SPORT 700 — measured output curve Output peaks at 750 lumens at activation, stabilises to 725 lumens within seconds and holds for 90 minutes. Three flashes warn before the lamp steps down to 60 lumens, which is held for an additional 120 minutes. 0 0 90 210 MINUTES 725 LM HELD 60 LM · 120 MIN

Why Stormlight

Real Lumens · Honest Hours · Easy Repairs

Three principles, hard-coded into every Stormlight headlamp. Not marketing. Engineering decisions you can verify.

01 Measured at temperature

Real lumens

Measured at operating temperature, not a 30-second peak at startup. The number on the box is the number you get out in the field.

02 Cold-tested · Movement-aware

Honest hours

Runtime numbers built around real use — cold conditions, movement, full output when you need it. Conservative math we can defend.

03 Ten-year platform and more

Real repairs

Every part replaceable. Battery, cable, lens, front cover, headband, rear cover, sealing rings, circuit board. Order the part, screw it in place, keep the lamp you bought.

In the field

Where Stormlight earns its place.

One platform. Two audiences. Same 10+ year promise

Long nights, technical terrain
Trail

Long nights, technical terrain

Real output through hour twelve. Light that doesn't fade in the cold. Used by trail runners and orienteers across the Nordics.

Above the Arctic Circle
Ski touring

Above the Arctic Circle

Ski season runs September through May. We design where we test — on tours from Lofoten to the Finnmark Alps.

Back-country crews
Energy

Back-country crews

Snowmobile patrols. Mountain installations. Real cold, real hours. Built for the people working when others stop.

Worksites that punish gear
Construction

Worksites that punish gear

Months of sub-zero work. Hardware that earns its place on the toolbelt — and stays there through the season.

BUILT FOR THE FULL NIGHT

Built around your head.

From how it sits to how it lights the line home. Built for the full night.

A headlamp shouldn't be thrown away because one part failed. Every Stormlight is built as a serviceable system. Order the part. Click it in. Keep the lamp you bought, not the one we'll release next year.

The founder's story

Born from two crashes in the dark.

Bjarte Hollevik crashed twice into trees he couldn't see — once on a Magicshine, once on a Lupine Betty. He built his first headlamp because the ones on the market weren't good enough. Then he founded Moonlight, won two ISPO awards, and sold his shares.

Stormlight is what came next: real lumens, honest hours, and lamps you can actually repair — designed and tested above the Arctic Circle in Burfjord, where the dark season runs six months a year.

Questions, answered.

Most manufacturers publish a 30-second peak — the brightest moment before the lamp heats up and dims. We publish what you get at operating temperature, hour one and beyond. The number on the box is the number you get in the field.

Weight, runtime and battery setup matter more than peak output. SPORT 700 covers 90% of outdoor use. SPORT 9000 is for off-piste skiing, snowmobile and race nights — where less light is a real risk. Most people are best served by 700 or 1200.

Yes. Battery, cable, lens, headband, sealing rings and even the front and back covers are replaceable. Order the part, click it in, keep the lamp you bought. Both SPORT and PRO are designed for a 10+ year working life because of this.

Cold drains lithium cells. Every headlamp in the category has this problem — the difference is how it's solved.

SPORT 3100 and SPORT 9000 have an active heat-generation system built into the battery pack. At 75% and 100% output, the pack produces its own working temperature, keeping the cells in their optimal range even at −8°C. In testing at −8°C, the 9000 lost just 4 minutes of full-output runtime — under 7% — compared to room temperature.

For best results in deep cold: keep the battery pack warm before use — inside a jacket pocket or close to the body.
Once you switch on full power, run the pack in an outer pocket, backpack or open air. The internal heating does the rest. If the lamp head or battery gets too warm — for instance, if the pack stays inside an inner layer at full output — the lamp steps down one mode to protect the system, then returns to full output once the temperature stabilizes.

SPORT 700 and SPORT 1200 use the lamp head's aluminum body to transfer heat to the integrated battery. This works best at the highest output modes — 725 lm on the 700, and the two top modes on the 1200. Field testing is ongoing.

Across the range, every Stormlight is designed and tested above the Arctic Circle. Ski season runs September to May where we live — that's our test bed.

Two years on SPORT, six months on PRO. Both lines are designed for a 10+ year working life — the warranty covers manufacturing, the repairable platform covers everything that comes after.

Worldwide. EU, North America, South America, Australia, New Zealand and Japan are all standard destinations. If your country isn't on the list, just get in touch. All prices include duties and taxes — no surprises at customs.

Same hardware, same service, same 10+ year working life. SPORT is for outdoor use — running, skiing, mountains. PRO is for trades, energy and rescue. If you're buying for work, view the PRO range.
