Description
Whether you see it as a smart addition to your survival kit or a versatile, ultra-light headlamp, the Petzl e+Lite Headlamp is an innovative way of assuring that you have a light source after sundown. Matchbox small, the Petzl e plus Lite Headlamp operates on flat, coin-size batteries, yet it provides 45 hours of light in economy mode and shines a beam of 62 feet on maximum mode. In addition to the two lighting levels emanating from the 3 white LEDs, the Petzl e+Lite offers white and red strobe modes for visibility in a search and rescue situation....
Read More...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 and 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 and red strobe modes for rescue purposes, has an option to illuminate with the red LED alone to preserve night vision, and 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, and 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 360º for unlimited aiming.

Nice headlamp A good emergency headlamp in case you get lost or batteries run low on your existing headlamp. Also works well as a lightweight headlamp providing ample light by itself with two brightness modes, has the emergency blinking and red night time modes as well. A great lightweight headlamp to have on your camping, hiking, or climbing trip.

love this little headlamp so great! swivels in all directions, super light weight, durable, comfortable. i'm wondering to myself why I've carried heavier and less versatile headlamps for so long

Lite Light It was the envy of fellow backpackers when the sun went down. Practical and small. The red light option is great for not disturbing bunkmates.

Great fishing light This little light hooks right onto my cap for hunting nightcrawlers. It is also great out on the river or lake bank when fishing. I think this is a real plussssssss for any tackle box. Let alone using it for camping and going for walks at night. It's a great all around light.

Great product - something everyone should have The size and function of this headlamp means that everyone should carry one at least in their car. It is hard to believe that where technology is going. This head lamp serves all the functions you need around camp, cooking and reading as well as it larger cousins. Well done Petzl

Overall great value Very light and compact
Although is not suitable for wide open area, hence it claims it self to be an emergency light
very versatile and easy to use
great on batteries too

Excellant light weight headlamp Bought 4 of these and love em. Used on JMT and Africa travels. Usually have used the Photon lights. These are 2 to 3 times the weight, but still only an oz and the extra time and brightness and headlamp ability make it worth it.

best yet This is a great headlamp! I have had many before, but for being a small female it fits great and has many benefits. On the low setting it is great for reading, and the high setting is great for walking at night!

For an extra headlamp... For an extra headlamp, its an incredible tool to have. Whether your batteries are running low 6 pitches up or you can't see to read the last chapter in your tent, the e+Lite is a magnificent back-up. The e+lite on its own would make a great ultralight backpackers headlamp, and the battery life is incredible. It doesn't run on normal batteries, but the battery that it comes with is still easy to find and will last YEARS with normal use. It also has a bunch of light emitting features that can help make its unusually long life even longer. You won't be able to spot deer, but it will give you enough light to get home. Throw it in your pack. What's the harm in a little extra visual security? Contact me for more information.

Great lightweight lamp I use the headlamp while running. The battery life has been much better than my last LED light. The lamp is very adjustable and is perfect for running due it's lightweight and snug fit. Great product

Good lightweight light The headlamp is small and produces enough light for walking in the dark. It is not good for seeing long distances at night. Make sure to take extra batteries when packing it along.
