I doubt that many of us plan to hike at night, except perhaps where it's really hot, but I was in an emergency situation two years ago in which we had to hike out after dark. All I had was a Petzl e+lite and it wasn't good for much. My grandson, who had my Princeton Tec headlamp, went ahead and turned around at every rough spot on the trail to light the way for me--not easy with his sprained ankle. It took us two hours to go one mile! The little e+lite went in the trash when I got home!
