I'm on an Everest team this spring and, am investigating using an LED Flashlight with something like a "Maglite headstrap."
The LED headlamp selection right now is pretty weak and "standard issue" for now is a halogen headlamp with 4 AA lithium batteries in a quick loader.
1. Summit night is ~10 hours long. Can switch batteries if have to during the night, but it needs to be VERY easy and VERY fast.
2. Need cold weather reliability (#1), reasonable size and reasonable output to plod along the mountain with.
Arc seems to be a good place to start given quality demands - any comments from the forum?
