Excellant light weight headlamp
Bought 4 of these and love em. Used on JMT and Africa travels. Usually have used the Photon lights. These are 2 to 3 times the weight, but still only an oz and the extra time and brightness and headlamp ability make it worth it.

Overall great value
Very light and compact Although is not suitable for wide open area, hence it claims it self to be an emergency light very versatile and easy to use great on batteries too

Great fishing light
This little light hooks right onto my cap for hunting nightcrawlers. It is also great out on the river or lake bank when fishing. I think this is a real plussssssss for any tackle box. Let alone using it for camping and going for walks at night. It's a great all around light.

For an extra headlamp...
For an extra headlamp, its an incredible tool to have. Whether your batteries are running low 6 pitches up or you can't see to read the last chapter in your tent, the e+Lite is a magnificent back-up. The e+lite on its own would make a great ultralight backpackers headlamp, and the battery life is incredible. It doesn't run on normal batteries, but the battery that it comes with is still easy to find and will last YEARS with normal use. It also has a bunch of light emitting features that can help make its unusually long life even longer. You won't be able to spot deer, but it will give you enough light to get home. Throw it in your pack. What's the harm in a little extra visual security? Contact me for more information.
