Akios Powa-Lite HT-5000 Headlamp

At Gerrys Fishing, we know that night fishing is as much about what you can see as what you can catch. There is nothing more frustrating than a headlamp that digs into your forehead or dies just as the tide turns. The Akios Powa-Lite HT-5000 is the solutiona high-output, ultra-lightweight rechargeable lamp featuring the new AKIOS Comfi-fit SPORT headband, designed to stay secure and comfortable through a full twelve-hour winter session.

Emitting a potent 554 lumens, the HT-5000 punches well above its weight class. Its powered by a high-capacity 18650 Li-ion battery, which is easily topped up via a magnetic USB charging cable. This means no fumbling with tiny charging ports in the dark; the magnetic connector snaps into place instantly. With an IP64 rain and splash-proof rating, its built to handle the salt spray of a storm-lashed pier or a rainy night on the shingle without missing a beat.

Versatile Lighting & Comfort

The HT-5000 features a single-switch interface that cycles through three spotlight brightness levels, a wide-angle floodlight for baiting up, and an SOS mode for emergencies. The zoomable function allows you to switch from a tight, long-range beam (perfect for spotting tripod tips at distance) to a broad flood beam for illuminating your immediate workspace. The 90-degree adjustable tilt ensures you can direct the light exactly where you need it, whether youre looking down at a knot or out at the surf.

Where to Use This Headlamp

• Shore & Beach Casting: Use the spot beam to track your lead during the cast and the floodlight for safe bait preparation on the tripod.

• Rock Marks & Treks: The lightweight design and Comfi-fit headband mean it wont slip or bounce while youre scrambling over uneven terrain.

• Boat Fishing: The IP64 rating and magnetic charging make it a reliable companion for the deck, where spray is a constant.

• Rig Building: The wide-angle floodlight provides a clear, shadow-free light for intricate terminal tackle work at home or at the waters edge.

Gerrys Pro Tip

The magnetic charging system on the HT-5000 is a lifesaver, but here is a pro tip: always wipe the charging contact point on the lamp with a dry cloth before connecting the lead. Saltwater can cause a tiny bit of resistance on the magnets over time. Also, because this lamp uses a standard 18650 battery, its worth carrying a spare pre-charged cell in your tackle box for those 48-hour sessions. Its the ultimate overrun insurance for your lighting!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the battery replaceable?

Yes. The HT-5000 uses a standard 18650 rechargeable battery. While the included 2200mAh battery is excellent, you can easily swap it out if you ever need a fresh cell or want to upgrade to a higher capacity for even longer runtimes.

Can I charge this from a power bank?

Absolutely. The USB magnetic cable can be plugged into any standard USB port, including car chargers, laptops, or portable power banks, making it perfect for multi-day trips where youre away from a mains socket.

Is it too heavy for long sessions?

Not at all. The HT-5000 is designed to be extremely lightweight. When combined with the dual-strap SPORT headband, the weight is distributed evenly around your head, preventing the forward pull common with heavier, bulkier lamps.

Does it have a red light mode?

The HT-5000 focuses on high-output white light with its spotlight and floodlight modes. For most sea anglers, the dedicated wide-angle floodlight provides the soft illumination needed for baiting up without completely ruining your night vision.
