When your activity demands sustained high output across long hours in demanding conditions, the Silva Trail Speed 5X steps up with a more capable battery and a modular accessory system that adapts to how you move.
Sharing the same 1200 lumen output and Flow Light technology as the Trail Speed 5R, the 5X upgrades to a 3.5Ah battery for significantly extended burn time, up to 20 hours on minimum and 5 hours on maximum. Flow Light's tilt-based beam adjustment earns its keep here across mixed-pace activities like ski touring, where you want a wider flood on the uptrack and longer reach for the descent, all without touching a button. The super-low 80 lumen mode conserves power on less demanding stretches so you have full output available when the terrain requires it. Reserve mode guarantees 30 minutes of light when the battery runs low.
The 5X ships with four accessories covering the full range of mounting options: a rear battery holder for headband use, a helmet bracket with 3M adhesive for most helmet models, an extension cord for pocket battery carry, and cable guides to keep everything tidy. The headband backplate detaches for direct helmet mounting as an alternative to the bracket. For cold Canadian winters, running the battery in a jacket pocket via the extension cord keeps it warm and extends burn time meaningfully. The Silva Connection System keeps the door open for additional battery options as your kit evolves.
