Headlamp?

[USMCret]

I know it’s been talked about all over but nothing recent here. So what brand and model is your go to for sheep? How many OZ are you willing to spend on it? Do you care if it’s 2.5 or 5.5 oz? Maybe more importantly than the weight what lumens do you want? Do you carry a back up?

I use the pretzel tactikka 450lm. I weighed it at 2.89oz. I believe they make lighter less lumen models as well. I also use this for morning runs switching it to different powers based on amounts of artificial light. It’s plenty bright in the backcountry. Comes with a long lasting rechargeable and can also use AAA batteries.

The only knock may be it doesn’t have a power lock out and it can’t be charged while in use. Knock on wood I have not
those features as of yet.

I took the Fenix HM50R V2 (2.75 oz) for its weight, battery life, and the fact that you could recharge it. I also took a Nightcore NU25 (1 oz) as a backup.

You may find yourself not even using it that much depending on when you go. This was 10:30 pm on a late night pack out in August.

It’s bright….
