Summary:
- Yato head torch 800 LM offers versatile features such as a motion sensor and magnetic base, but its protection rating is lower (IP54), which means it withstands dust and splashes but is not fully waterproof.

- Vatti LED Power 800 lm is the lightest option and offers good light output and handy magnetic charging, but its protection rating is not stated, which may affect its durability in damp conditions.
The choice between these head torches depends on your needs. If you value low weight and a high protection rating, the Fenix HL32R-T may be the best choice. If you need a motion sensor and a magnetic base, the Yato head torch 800 LM may be more suitable. The Vatti LED Power 800 lm is a good option if you are looking for a light, affordable torch for basic use.
