2. Silva Intelligent Light

The Silva Intelligent Light feature combines a long-reach spotlight with a close floodlight. This design reduces the need for head movement, providing a clear view of both distant and nearby obstacles simultaneously. This enhances balance and confidence, allowing for faster and more efficient movement.

3. Silva Flow Light

The Silva Flow Light feature allows for seamless adjustment of the light pattern. By simply tilting the headlamp unit downwards, the beam becomes wider, ideal for close-range activities. Tilting the headlamp forward extends the light's reach, suitable for high-speed activities or viewing distant objects.

4. Low Battery Warning and Reserve Mode

The headlamp includes a built-in low battery warning system. When the battery level is critically low, the headlamp automatically enters a reserve mode. This mode adjusts the light output to a setting that provides approximately 30 minutes of guaranteed light, ensuring you can safely return to your destination.
