1AA headlamps?

[nmiller]

Can anyone list a few models? I've only seen two, the rayovac and zebralight. Do more exist?

Thanks,

Nick

Would you count something like an Fenix L1D in a JackStrap?

 

[nmiller]

I'd have to say no, but that is the kind of setup I'm looking at getting rather than a true headlamp.

The only other 1AA headlamp I know is one sold by Doite here in New Zealand. (probably avail. on the net under some other brand) It ran a 5mm LED at 0.3W and had a lens out front to create a spot beam. I cut off the lens to create a flood output. Bright enough to wander around a campsite or to do cooking, reading etc. Runtime was 10 hr on an alkaline, but you could use nimh and li as well.

It is a reasonable headlamp (certainly not in the same class as a L1D) but I'll pass it on to someone else once the Zebralight arrives.

I remember it been discussed on this forum within the past year. Do a search.

your best waiting for the zebralight... that company actually gets it.... it should be a break through in headlamp design...

the new rayovac sportsman extreme is 1AA right?

Will the wait ever end?

LED Thrift,

I hear you. I'm planning on waiting for the Zebralight, but it seems like it will never become available.

Hopefully one of our favorite online light shops becomes a US distributor of the Zebra models :thumbsup:

I'll take two of these 1xAA flood monsters...one for the head and one for the hand

I'm with you. For me it seems to be the perfect hiking light.

Essential Gear makes one:

Nuwai lists one, and I like the specs, but I have not seen it for sale:

I have and like the Rayovac, but I'd trade the red and blue leds for more modes with the white. I'm excited about the Zebralight .

I thought 4sevens was looking at stocking something as yet unidentified?

 

[nmiller]

GaryF,

Both those look nice, but I think the form of the zebralight can't be beat.

 

[cave dave]

Zebra looks nice and I'll definitely get one but its all flood. I would like a reflector version 1AA as well. Even a small reflector like on the Fenix LOP would add enough throw to make it a bit more versatile.

 

[nmiller]

More versitale yes, but I feel for a hiking light flood is all you need. Also with the beam shots provided for the zebra light it looks like enough light will be provided for a walk in the woods.
