How far does the spot beam actually reach?

SKYFIRE rates the focused beam at up to 2600 ft. That is a manufacturer figure for the tightest zoom setting; real reach depends on ambient light and air clarity, and the beam narrows as it throws farther.

Does the motion sensor work with gloves on?

The sensor is a wave-on switch, so you pass your hand in front of it rather than pressing a button. That is the point for mechanics and hard hat work, though a loose wave or nearby movement can also trigger it.

What is the difference between spot and flood?

Spot zooms to a narrow, long-throw beam for scanning trails and distance. Flood spreads light across about 120 degrees for campsite setup, tackle prep and close repair work.

What are the red and warm modes for?

Red light preserves night vision and is softer for close tasks after dark, which hunters and anglers often prefer. Warm white is easier on the eyes for reading, cooking and equipment checks up close.

Is it good for running?

It is bright enough for night running, but it is a larger headlamp than dedicated running models. Runners who want low weight may prefer a smaller lamp; hikers and workers benefit more from the output and modes.

How long does the battery last?

Runtime depends heavily on mode: 3000 lumens drains the battery fast, while lower white, warm and red settings last much longer. Expect to recharge or carry spares for long nights at high output.
