Most headlamps on the market work on a simple principle: you manually adjust the intensity, and it stays fixed... until you change the mode*. The result: either you shine too brightly and "waste" battery, or you shine too little and lack comfort and safety.
* true for headlamps equipped with constant lighting; worse, for those equipped with standard lighting, the intensity will gradually diminish.
Lighting that adapts to you, not the other way around.
At Go'Lum, we've chosen a different path: putting intelligence at the service of the runner. Our exclusive smart modes allow your headlamp to automatically adapt to your pace and the terrain. A real gain in autonomy , comfort and safety .
What is a Go'Lum smart mode?
Unlike traditional manual settings, Go'Lum's smart modes automatically adjust the light output to suit your needs at any given moment. Your Go'Lum analyzes:
-
your pace (slowing down, speeding up, stopping)
-
the terrain (flat, uphill, downhill, technical sections)
👉 Result: you always have the right lighting at the right time , without thinking about it.
Two modes to suit your needs.
🔋 Smart “autonomy priority” mode
-
This is the mode in which your Piom+3 headlamp starts.
-
The intensity varies smoothly, progressively and almost imperceptibly, according to your movements: weak when stationary, stronger when accelerating.
-
Benefit : up to three full nights of battery life with a single battery (during his crossing of the Canary Islands, ultra trail runner Luca Papi ran 37 hours in this battery life priority mode)
-
Ideal for : long outings, ultra-trails, expeditions where autonomy is paramount.

⚡ Intelligent “power priority” mode
-
A simple click allows you to switch from autonomy mode to power mode.
-
Same principle of automatic adaptation… but with a higher level of lighting.
-
Benefit : greater visual comfort, better reading of the terrain, increased safety.
-
Ideal for : technical sections, shorter outings, or if you prefer more powerful lighting.

The real difference with a classic headlamp.
With a headlamp that doesn't have the exclusive Go'Lum technology, when you attack a descent at full speed, you manually increase the intensity to see clearly. You then continue with a climb in which you need less intensity, since you're going slower. And then you stay at the same intensity as during your descent, whether through forgetfulness, loss of lucidity, or any other reason. Your headlamp ends up consuming more battery than you need. Its battery life is needlessly reduced. You end up running out of battery much sooner than you could.
With a headlamp that doesn't have the exclusive Go'Lum technology, you have to constantly juggle between modes: low to save battery, high to see clearly, then low again... It's a source of distraction and wasted mental energy.
With Go'Lum's self-adaptive smart modes:
-
More real autonomy → you optimize the battery as much as possible.
-
Less manipulation → more concentration on your effort.
-
More safety → your headlamp adapts before you even think about it.
What if you want to keep control?
You can exit smart modes at any time and switch to classic manual mode . Because we don't all have the same visual sensitivity or the same needs depending on fatigue or the weather.
Conclusion
Go'Lum's smart modes aren't just a gimmick: they're real-world tools for increased autonomy, comfort, and safety. Where conventional headlamps force you to adapt, Go'Lum designs headlamps that adapt to you.
