The Suprabeam S5r and S5r Prime are professional rechargeable headlamps designed for users who require powerful, hands-free lighting. Both models combine a maximum light output of 700 lumens with a lightweight design—weighing just 94 grams, including the battery. This makes them suitable for extended use during maintenance, installation, inspection, and other tasks in poorly lit environments. These headlamps were developed for professionals who demand high standards of comfort, reliability, and flexibility. With features such as a rechargeable battery, USB-C connectivity, adjustable brightness, and hands-free operation, both the S5r and S5r Prime provide practical lighting solutions for daily professional use.
Professional headlamps with 700 lumens
Both the Suprabeam S5r and the S5r Prime deliver a maximum of 700 lumens and have a beam range of up to approximately 100 meters. The brightness is continuously adjustable down to around 5 lumens, allowing the light output to be tailored to the specific task. For instance, precision work inside a technical cabinet requires less light than an inspection in a large or dark space. Adjusting the light output also extends battery life; the runtime is approximately seven hours at maximum power, whereas the light can operate for significantly longer at lower brightness levels.
Lightweight and comfortable during long workdays
A key feature of both headlamps is their low weight. Weighing just 94 grams—battery included—the S5r and S5r Prime rank among Suprabeam’s lightweight professional headlamps. This is particularly relevant for mechanics, installers, and maintenance workers who wear a headlamp for extended periods. A lighter lamp exerts less pressure on the head and shifts less during work. The breathable headband further enhances wearer comfort. The lamp automatically follows the user’s line of sight, eliminating the need to hold a separate flashlight or constantly reposition a work light.
Hands-free operation for more efficient work
Both models feature a sensor that allows the headlamp to be switched on and off with a wave of the hand. This is practical when the user is wearing work gloves, holding tools, or has dirty hands. For mechanics and installers, this means fewer interruptions to their work to operate the light. The sensor is located on the side of the lamp, minimizing the risk of accidental activation.
What is the difference between the Suprabeam S5r and S5r Prime?
The technical foundation of the S5r and S5r Prime is largely the same. The main difference lies in the additional features.
In addition to white light, the Suprabeam S5r features red, green, and blue light. This RGB lighting makes the headlamp suitable for situations requiring different light colors—such as signaling, working in the dark, or specific inspection tasks.
The Suprabeam S5r Prime focuses more on professional white work lighting. This model has a four-part LED battery indicator that immediately shows how much battery capacity is still available. This helps users to charge on time and prevent unexpected outages during work.
Those primarily seeking versatility will benefit from the S5r’s additional RGB functions. For daily professional use where white lighting and battery status monitoring are key, the S5r Prime offers a practical solution.
Suitable for mechanics, installers, and maintenance professionals.
The Suprabeam S5r and S5r Prime are suitable for, among other things:
- mechanics and service technicians
- electrical installers
- plumbers and installation companies
- maintenance staff in industry and manufacturing
- inspectors and technical service providers
- Building and construction professionals
A headlamp offers particular advantages in crawl spaces, utility closets, machine rooms, vehicles, and other poorly lit work areas. Both hands remain free for tools, parts, and other tasks.
Designed for demanding working conditions
Professional lighting must function reliably even when conditions are less than ideal. The S5r and S5r Prime are therefore water-resistant and suitable for use across a wide temperature range. The integrated 2200 mAh battery is charged via USB-C, with a full charge taking approximately three hours. This makes it easy to charge the headlamps at various work sites, in a company vehicle, or using a suitable power bank.
Choosing between the Suprabeam S5r and S5r Prime
The choice between the two models depends primarily on the desired features. Choose the Suprabeam S5r if different light colors are important and the headlamp needs to be used for a variety of applications. Choose the Suprabeam S5r Prime if reliable white work lighting, low weight, and clear information regarding remaining battery capacity are the key requirements. Both models offer powerful illumination in a compact, lightweight design, making them ideal for professionals who need excellent visibility while working, without compromising on freedom of movement or wearing comfort.
