Petzl Bindi headlamp

Small, works good

Bindi: Small, works well.  I like the rechargeable aspect – I always start a trip with a full charge (versus AAs and AAAs that I lose track of how long I’ve used them).  The 5 lumens mode is enough for hiking most trails (but not route-finding, there’s the 100- and 200-lumen modes for that) and when I tested the claim of 50 hours of 5 lumens, I got 52 hours out of it.

Have one, picked it up this year. Ditto the rechargeable aspect + it’s bright enough for pretty much anything. I carry a powerbank with me so I always feel comfortable with having a functioning light. I find myself wearing it around my neck a lot, and the tilt is perfect for lighting up the trail. I still have my e-Lite, but I prefer the Bindi now.

Yes the rechargeable aspect is what I kind of like since I carry a power bank also. I also carry the steripen adventurer and was considering switching to that newer rechargeable one.
