Pickup currently unavailable
The POD X Bat Beam XTREME is a lightweight rechargeable LED headlamp built around a CREE XM-L T6 emitter, for anyone who needs both hands and serious light: mechanics under a hood, electricians in a crawlspace, campers after dark, hunters on a pre-dawn walk-in, and anyone changing a tire on a shoulder at night.
Why a headlamp and not a flashlight
A flashlight takes a hand. A headlamp puts the beam wherever you look and leaves both hands for the wrench, the tent pole, the dog leash, or the first aid kit. In every guide we write, the headlamp is the item people skip on a morning hike and regret at dusk. One per adult, in the pack and in the trunk.
The emitter
The CREE XM-L T6 is a high-output LED used in professional work lights, chosen for throw and efficiency. The Bat Beam runs it on a USB-rechargeable lithium battery, so there are no AAA runs, and the tilt head aims the beam at the work instead of the horizon.
Where it earns its place
- The winter car kit, for working on a car in the dark with hands free
- The power outage kit, one per adult, because candles are a fire risk in a house with no water pressure
- The Ten Essentials, on every hike, even the short ones
- Under the bed in earthquake country, with your shoes
- Hunting camp, jobsites, and the garage

Care
Charge fully before storage and top up every few months. Keep it in the kit, not the junk drawer. Wipe the lens; a dirty lens costs more light than a low battery.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it run?
Runtime depends on mode; low mode runs many times longer than high. Charge before every trip and carry a power bank for long ones.
Is it waterproof?
It is built for outdoor work and handles rain. It is not a dive light.
Headlamp or the Night Thunder beanie?
The Bat Beam is the work and camp light. The Night Thunder is a knit beanie with a built-in light and Bluetooth speakers for winter walks and runs.
