Silva by Spectra: 10 000 lumen to Turn night into day

September 22 is the launch date of this autumn’s brightest and most extraordinary headlamp. Spectra by Silva - will turn night into day. The 10 000 lumen will give you more than enough light to go full speed regardless your sport. Spectra is a cutting edge innovation in a sleek, intuitive design with the equivalent light output of several cars. This is by far the most powerful headlamp from Silva.

Spectra has 8 powerful LED lights and features Silva Intelligent Light – a unique combination of a long reach spotlight and a close flood light. There are 5 different light settings, ranging from 10 000 to 80 lumen, to optimize the light for your speed or activity, or to save battery time when needed. Switch between the five brightness levels intuitively by pressing the button on the headlamp, or use the included Spectra Remote Control.

To create the perfect and the strongest light, Spectra is built with world class Cree XLamp XHP50.2 LEDs and LEDil TINA2-RS lenses. The Cree LEDs are the next generation of extreme high-power LEDs that deliver the best lumen density, reliability and color consistency. The LEDil lenses offer the perfect beam angles, high UV and temperature resistance.

With extreme light output comes need for extreme cooling. Spectra is designed for optimal cooling in all aspects. The cooler is made of cold forged aluminum and is shaped like chimneys with wave shaped walls for additional cooling surface. There is also a built-in temperature sensor that regulates the heat for optimal performance.

This headlamp is a product of high level engineering. Our biggest challenge was creating a headlamp with this amount of light while also keeping it cool, hence the wave shapes to maximize the cooling surface. It is all about making sure you get maximum light when needed and to ensure the highest quality of light and light ergonomics, says Joel Engfeldt, product developer at Silva.

The Swedish outdoor brand Silva presented the first liquid-filled compass in 1933, and already in 1935, the first headlamp – the Zeiler – was introduced. Ever since, Silva has continued to develop outdoor products for both world athletes and everyday adventurers. Spectra is the latest innovation to be launched to customers who aim high, and who require reliable equipment with the same extraordinary ambition.

Spectra comes with a powerful and rechargeable 96 Wh battery with a burn time of 3 hours on maximum level, and up to 80 hours of burn time on minimum level. The additional Spectra Double Battery Connector that is available as one of many accessories, allows you to use two battery sources as one by simply connecting two Spectra batteries. It is perfect for longer activities and training sessions since you can focus on the activity itself without having to stop for switching or charging batteries.

Spectra is available as Spectra A and Spectra O. A for action, and O for orienteering. Both models have the same extraordinary 10 000 lumen, but the accessories are different. There are 10 accessories in total which makes Spectra perfect for many action sports. Skiing, biking, orienteering, snowmobiling just to name a few. The accessories include bike attachments, GoPro mount, charger, extension cable, a head mount made of neoprene, a harness for the battery and the Spectra Remote Control so that you can control your headlamp from your wrist or handlebar.

Spectra will be launched on September 22nd with a recommended retail price from EUR 799,99 for Spectra A and EUR 749,99 for Spectra O.
