NEO Series
The Ledlenser NEO Series is purpose-built for runners and fast-paced outdoor activities. Lightweight, compact and secure, NEO head torches deliver up to 1,200 lumens with reflective straps for visibility, IP54 water resistance and adjustable beam angles — engineered to keep up with you however fast you move, however dark it gets.
NEO Series Head Torches — Built for Running and Fast-Paced Outdoor Use
The Ledlenser NEO Series exists for one purpose: to be the best head torch for running. Every design decision — weight, profile, strap system, beam angle and output — is made with the runner in mind. Lighter than standard head torches, lower in profile and more secure during dynamic movement, NEO head torches stay in place through every stride, head movement and change of pace without distraction or adjustment.
Available in both rechargeable and battery-powered formats, the NEO Series covers everything from road running and trail use to cycling, orienteering and any fast-paced outdoor activity where a reliable, lightweight head torch makes the difference between a confident performance and a compromised one.
Lightweight and Low-Profile for Running Performance
Weight and profile are the primary performance considerations for a running head torch. Every gram and every millimetre of unnecessary bulk affects comfort and stability during sustained running. The NEO Series is engineered to minimise both — sitting closer to the head, distributing weight more evenly and moving with you rather than against you. The result is a head torch you stop noticing within minutes of putting it on, leaving full mental focus available for the run.
Up to 1,200 Lumens with Adjustable Beam Angle
NEO Series head torches deliver up to 1,200 lumens — more than sufficient for road running, trail navigation and technical terrain in full darkness. Adjustable beam angles allow you to direct illumination precisely where it's needed — angled downward for close-range path visibility during road running or levelled for longer-distance trail scanning. Multiple brightness modes let you balance output against battery life for your specific route length and conditions.
Reflective Straps for Active Road Safety
Running safety in low-light conditions is as much about being seen as seeing. NEO Series head torches feature reflective straps that return light from vehicle headlights and other light sources — significantly increasing your visibility to drivers, cyclists and other road users during dawn, dusk and night-time running. Combined with the torch beam itself, the NEO Series makes you both a seeing and a visible presence on the road and trail.
IP54 Water Resistance for All-Weather Running
Running in the UK means running in the rain — and the NEO Series is built with that reality in mind. IP54-rated protection across the range guards against water spray from any direction, ensuring reliable performance through light rain, heavy drizzle and the general damp of British outdoor conditions. For running in sustained heavy rain or extreme wet conditions, models with higher IP ratings are available within the broader Ledlenser running head torch range.
Rechargeable and Battery-Powered Options
The NEO Series offers both rechargeable and battery-powered models, giving runners the flexibility to choose the format that best suits their training patterns. Rechargeable models use efficient lithium-ion batteries with USB charging capability — practical for regular training where charging between runs is straightforward. Battery-powered models offer the convenience of instant readiness from standard alkaline cells, ideal for races, events and situations where recharging between sessions isn't always possible.
Designed for More Than Running
While the NEO Series is optimised for running, its lightweight, secure design and strong output make it equally well suited to cycling, orienteering, trail walking, wild camping and any outdoor activity where a compact, high-performance head torch is needed. The reflective straps and adjustable beam angle are as useful on a bike as they are on foot — making the NEO Series one of the most versatile compact head torches in the Ledlenser range.

NEO Series Head Torch FAQs
What makes the NEO Series different from other Ledlenser head torches?
The NEO Series is Ledlenser's dedicated running head torch range — purpose-designed for fast-paced activities rather than adapted from a general outdoor or professional model. Key differences include a significantly lighter and lower-profile design optimised for stability during running, reflective straps for road safety visibility and an adjustable beam angle for directing illumination at the correct angle for running rather than standing. Output reaches up to 1,200 lumens — competitive with much heavier head torches — in a format specifically engineered to stay secure and comfortable through sustained dynamic movement.
How many lumens do I need for night running?
For road running on lit or semi-lit routes, 100 to 300 lumens is generally sufficient. For unlit road running and trail use in familiar terrain, 300 to 600 lumens provides comfortable visibility at running pace. For technical trail running, faster paces or unfamiliar terrain in full darkness, 600 to 1,200 lumens provides the reaction time and beam reach needed to navigate confidently. The NEO Series spans this full range — select the model that matches your typical running environment and pace rather than simply the highest available output.
Will the NEO Series head torch stay secure while running?
Yes. The NEO Series is specifically engineered for stability during running — the low-profile design, secure strap system and balanced weight distribution work together to minimise movement and bounce during sustained dynamic activity. The adjustable straps allow a precise, personalised fit that remains secure through pace changes, head movements and technical terrain without the slippage that can affect heavier, less running-specific head torches. Many runners find NEO Series head torches comfortable enough to forget they're wearing one within the first kilometre.
Is the NEO Series suitable for trail running?
Yes. NEO Series head torches are well suited to trail running — delivering sufficient output for technical terrain navigation, IP54-rated water resistance for wet trail conditions and a secure fit that handles the varied head movement of off-road running. For very technical mountain trail running or ultra-distance events in extreme conditions, models at the higher end of the NEO range or our dedicated running head torch collection offer higher IP ratings and additional features suited to the most demanding trail environments.
Should I choose a rechargeable or battery-powered NEO Series head torch?
For regular training use, a rechargeable NEO model offers the most practical and economical solution — charge between runs and enjoy consistent performance without ongoing battery costs. For racing, events or situations where recharging between sessions isn't guaranteed, a battery-powered model provides the reassurance of instant readiness from a fresh set of standard alkaline cells. Many runners keep both formats — a rechargeable model for regular training and a battery-powered backup for races and travel.
