[pct-l] Night light

[leestcoast at gmail.com]

The Tikka Plus 2 will work fine for nite hiking - I think the Spot is slightly better -used it hiking several hrs a nite between Warner Springs and Idylwild. Also have the original Ion. Used it hiking out of Oriflame Cny at nite (to escape the heat) on an old miner's route.  If I hadn't been following my son with a Petzl, I'd still be in a deep dark ravine.

I have been rethinking a few of my gear choices, mainly the light I have chosen.

I currently have an E*Lite, but have been reading that it will probably be insufficient for 

night hiking. I havn't had a reason to hike in the dark yet, and testing it out in the city doesn't

help much. I am now considering purchasing the Tikka XP 2. 

 

Was just wondering what experience others have had with this headlamp, or other headlamps, 

and if there are any suggestions?

 

Is there anything that weighs less that can do the same job?

Anything less expensive, or comparable?

 

Thanks
