Cool new 2009 Energizer 1AA Trailfinder Micro

[PhantomPhoton]

Doh!
It amazes me that they release a product that has a large market in the outdoor enthusiast sector in the summer. Gear buying for summer trips is well underway. Oh well, hopefully it is early summer and not late summer. Guess I'll be in Zebralights for the first few weekend trips.

Thanks for the info. :thumbsup:

Yeah, I would have gotten this for my brother's birthday if I was out in Feb. He likes the 1AA luxeon I gave him two years ago (forget the name - the one with red & blue 5mm LEDs), but it's time for an update. Looking forward to this one.

Hello? any news?

I like that, it would be perfect for kids too. I think I may have to find one of those and buy it for running, then something a bit more powerful for my winter work requirements

The light is out, I picked one up at a local sporting goods store, price was about 35.00 and they only had 2. It seems to work just like my Energizer e2 Lithium LED Headlight as far as the UI, adjustable brightness from high to low by holding the left button down. The right button turns on the 2 red LED's. I like the fact that the white main and the red LED's have 2 different buttons for use.

It is on the scale of the Energizer e2 Lithium LED Headlight as far as output and the beam is clean, I would not say it is a spot or wide beam, somewhere in between and the lens seems to keep it from having any rings. I don't really know about run times because I have not used it long enough to tell but with only 1 AA cell I don't expect it is as good as my other headlights, the one thing I can tell you is that it is light on your head and has a nice feel to it. I think it is worth the money if you want some thing light weight.

We need to know where you picked this thing up at. I'm glad it's finally out there though.

 

[PhantomPhoton]

I don't see it listed at Brightguy yet and haven't seen it in any of my local stores. :shrug:

 

[f22shift]

not in sports authority

 

[f22shift]

he must be on vacation.

paragon sports?

 

[Barrie]

maybe he doesn't really have one

 

[Yucca Patrol]

not at walmart. . . .although they do have other "trailfinder" headlamps but they are all crappy in comparison.

 

[RonM]

So only one person has found this headlamp and he's gone silent? :sigh:

They must have gotten him for telling us about it.

I'll keep looking, hopefully it's out before the summer is over.

is this the same light this one just went on sale in the UK
£20=$25-$30

I saw this headlight packaged with a single AA cell flashlight and 2 L91 lithium batteries at Costco over the weekend. I am pretty sure price was $30 (maybe it was $35) for both of them.

The flashlight was a variable power model, looked like a continously variable or at least many steps. 16 hours at low, 65 lumens on high. Headlight claimed 60 lumens.

I would have like to have bought it, but I have been trying to curb the habit lately, and I already bought some solar landscape lights there for another thread.

 

[Yucca Patrol]

Costco???? I'm heading over there today! And I can easily hide this purchase from my wife since she needs me to buy so much stuff there. .. . . LOL

 

[f22shift]

hmm, don't have costco but a friend does :twothumbs

right i just went out and bought this wee headlight
sorry i cant do pics will try to get some later
on opening the box i was a bit unsure of the design the battery is fiddly to fit you have to push in and twist the opening end of the batt tube and pull to open but there is not much to hold on to and it is smooth sweaty or wet hands will will make it more awkward
the headband loops through the batt holder and is fastened with Velcro not sure how secure it will hold as the Velcro is only about 1cm square
the front of the light is curved where it sits on the forehead i found it a bit uncomfortable and had to sit it right above my eyebrows any higher up and it is digging in to my forehead
i will fix that with a bit of sticky back foam the switches are easy to operate click left button for 2x red led press right for main beam hold right button and it ramps the light up and down with a flash at highest and lowest level
switch on and it comes on high there is no adjustment of level on the red leds it feels very light and well balanced i will play about with it for a bit and let youknow how i get on
hard to give a real life opinion of a light i only bought a hour ago
