When caught out after dark on a hiking trip or forced into a few hours of late night skiing through backcountry terrain, a quality headlamp is essential. The Petzl e+Lite Headlamp serves either as your go-to back-up if your primary headlamp fails to perform, or functions as an ultra-light lighting alternative. About the same size as a sports watch, the Petzl e+Lite Headlamp weighs slightly less than an ounce with the lithium batteries installed. Including the hard plastic carrying case, the unit weighs just 1.62 oz., a small price to pay in the weight department when illumination is all that separates you from the trailhead or a warm sleeping bag. For the size, the Petzl e plus Lite Headlamp is more than adequate in a pinch. The three white LEDs throw a beam of 62 feet in maximum mode, or lights the route 36 feet ahead in economy mode. Built for tucking into a survival kit,then forgetting about it until the time comes that you need it, the e+Lite Headlamp has a shelf life of 10 years. It also features white,red strobe modes for rescue purposes, has an option to illuminate with the red LED alone to preserve night vision,,has a lock mechanism to keep the switch from accidentally turning on inside your backpack. The e+Lite's head strap also works as a wristband for mounting the light on the hand or forearm,,a clip allows for easy mounting on a hat, helmet, shirt or backpack shoulder strap. A ball joint attaches the lighting unit to a base where the strap is attached. This ball joint allows the Petzl e+Lite Headlamp to rotate a full 360ยบ for unlimited aiming.
