Okay, here's the situation, you've been backpacking for the first time but you're a flashaholic. You're lost, which lights do you have or wish you had with you? Try to be realistic.![]()
Haven't seen one of those in a while. Looks almost like my toothbrush! :laughing:waterproof, long runtime
:thumbsup:OK... which lights do you have with you when you're lost? the same ones you had before you got lost!
I'll take the backlight that comes on a Garmin GPS.

Out of all my lights I'd pick either fenix P3D or Novatac, just so I can have it blink SOS while I sleep at night.

If I was backpacking I'd never carry more than one light (with the possible exception of a Photon Freedom around my neck). I'd carry something small and tight with a long runtime -- like an old CMG Infinity (not Ultra) with a bright colored LED like blue/green. The Infinity with a blue/green LED is very nearly as bright as the old CMG Infinity Ultra with a white LED -- but the blue/green Infinity had a runtime of 40 hours to 50%. That's what I'd want.

Now I think I would pack and use:
...
Spares carrier pouch with: 8 X AA's, 6 X CR123's...
Different strokes f/different folks...Mono-chromatic light is pretty lousy for trail finding and a few other uses like trying to find the red wool top in your pack. For instance a blue blaze on a tree would become near invisible...
