manual silva alpha and Intelligent light®
Thank you for choosing Silva Alpha headlamp. This headlamp can, thanks to the modular design, also be
used on a helmet or a bike handle bar.
The Alpha headlamp is equipped with Intelligent Light® which is a light distribution technology that com-
bines a wide angle flood light with a long reach spot light.
This unique light image gives the user peripheral and long distance vision at the same time. For a runner,
cross country skier, mountain biker or night orienteer this translates into less head movement, increased
control, better balance and more speed.
