Getting your player ready...
“Light and fast” becomes “light and bright” with the new Petzl e+Lite (MSRP: $30), a half-ounce, hands-free lamp with three LEDs capable of casting a beam up to 19 meters for up to 45 hours. That’s about four nights’ worth of light from a battery-operated torch not much bigger than a crayon. With an adjustable elastic headband, the e+Lite also can be worn on your wrist, or clipped to clothing, making it ideal for urban and outdoor adventures. An emergency strobe mode and a red LED to aid in night vision round out the features on this tiny unit that stashes easily in a pocket, backpack, home emergency kit or glove box and is guaranteed by Petzl for a full 10 years.
