[QUOTE="mnoland30, post: 491534, member: 29323"] I love the Petzl 3 led, 3 AAA headlamp (3.5 oz.). Perfect focus, and no dark rings in the light. I like one that goes on and off only. I hate having to push the button 3 times to turn the light out. My light will last for about 35 hours on a set of batteries, but it is pretty dim after about 10 hours. 6 batteries are enough for a 5 day trip. It puts out enough light for my old eyes. In bear country, or cliffy country, I also like a longer range light. It makes me nervous to just see eyes in the dark and not be able to identify them. I use a UKE 2 CR123 with lithium dive light with halogen bulb. It weighs about 3 ozs. One trip I looked up with my Petzl and saw a dozen pairs of eyes. I thought maybe the wolf introduction was going too well. When I turned on the UKE, I found out they were lion dogs, with the hunters. A dive light puts out a very focused beam and will reach out about 100 yards. Being able to see ahead a ways helps pick out a good route. For an emergency backup, I use an LED headlamp powered by button batteries. It weighs about 1 oz. [/QUOTE]
