I hate to break the terms of the thread, but I have to agree with the others emphasizing the need for a back up light.
After my recent camping experience, I will also go on record as saying a headlamp is nearly manditory. Having both hands free to work, and having the light go where you look is priceless.
I also prefer long running lights with modest output, over flame throwers that eat batteries like a fat kid with a box of twinkies.
I also prefer flood over throw for camping/traveling. For me, a light with a smooth broad flood is most useful for working, setting up camp, trail walking. For trail walking, I don't want a "jumping hot spot" to be my guide. Give me smooth, even, and broad. I just don't have a need for throw. I find the hotspot and dim spill on throw lights to be a negative when working or trying to light up a tent or campsite.
I have begun the long conversion to LED lights as well. LED technology has made great strides recently. I like the efficiency of LEDs (long batt life) and the robustness (long bulb life), I don't want an incan burning out on me on a dark trail (another reason for a back up light).
My current choices for this scenario....
Inova X5- Long batt life, long bulb life, built like a tank, modest in size, great output for trail or work. At last week's scout camp, watching the others with their dancing yellow beams on the trail was entertaining. No way I could go back. More light than an X5 on the trail is a waste. The color rendition was a non issue. I was lighting up the trail, and all the possible perils and pitfalls, more evenly and consistantly than any flashlight I saw at camp.
Princeton Tech Quad headlamp- A real winner. It has four bright LEDs and 4 output settings (high, med, low, flash). It is very easy to use. The 4 LEDs give a nice smooth/floody output compared to the hotspot and dim spill of the Lux I headlamps. I don't care much for AAA batts, but the light weight and long batt life of the PT Quad make this combo useful. When in the tent or bathroom, I was alway on LOW setting. The HI setting was good on trails. MED, takes care of the rest (only used the flash setting to annoy the scouts as necessary). Digging through bags, working, bathroom requirements, etc... Anything that needs two free hands to efficiently accomplish is the realm of the headlamp. A turn of your head instantly redirects the light where it is needed. I used to consider headlamps more of a toy or a gimmick. No longer. I will never camp again without a head lamp.
Good luck, TR
