Some creatures only really perk up when the light fades. But people quickly get into trouble in the dark. An emergency headlamp can be a really welcome blessing, especially for serious activities on the mountain. One of the most helpful illuminations is the Petzl e+LITE.
If the motto "the best headlamp is the one you have with you", then the Petzl e+LITE is a favorite for a top spot. Weighing just 46 grams and with a pack size of 8.5 x 4.5 x 3 cm, it is a real dwarf that fits easily into any first aid pack. This makes it the ideal companion for all activities where lighting may be required.
Small but mighty!
A lamp is not only welcome when it's getting late. How often have you forgotten your headlamp for an overnight stay in a mountain hut or fumble around helplessly in the dark when putting on snow chains early in the morning? And the data of the light dwarf is impressive. After all, 16 lumens allow you to see a good dozen meters in a fairly wide cone of light. And that for an impressive 35 hours. In the slightly weaker mode, the e+LITE lasts an additional 10 hours and as a pure marker in flashing mode, it lasts for 70 hours. And that with just two CR2032 button batteries. A rotary switch is used to switch the lamp on and off and to change modes.
In addition to these three modes, the e+LITE also has a red light LED, which can also be operated in flashing or continuous mode with similar endurance to the white light. The red light source on the head is a welcome visual aid, especially when there is still enough residual light to see the surroundings.
In addition, the e+LITE is equipped with an SOS whistle and has a clip that can be used to attach it to clothing, a cap or tent. To stow it away, it is simply stuffed into the small case and is splash-proof. The lamp itself is waterproof down to a depth of 1 meter. Stowed away like this, it is guaranteed to be forgotten in the emergency kit for 10 years and will still work perfectly.
All in all, the perfect emergency headlamp.
